Game Objectives
The game is set in our universe at the date 2107. An asteroid at the edge of our galaxy is on a crash course with earth, giving humanity 8 short years to escape the planet and ensure the survival of mankind.
The meteor is projected to destroy 96% of habitable land with a few islands in the pacific and some of antarctica left unscathed, however the chemical ash cloud produced by the strike would likely leave even these areas too dangerous for human settlement.
The only option was to get off the planet and as 8 years in space travel is a relatively short period of time, the UN and respective world governments had to act fast, looking within our solar system for other potential habitable planets. The best three options was our moon, mars and a moon of Jupiter called Titan.
The game itself follows redneck American Astronaut, Jonny Zap, who has been tasked with the genocide of any potential inhabitants before teraforming on the planet can safely begin. As time is short and the government can’t really wait to negotiate with any aliens they come across, they’ve has adopted a “shoot first, ask questions later” approach, clearing Jonny to kill whatever he can.

Game AI
All aliens will remain still unless Jonny gets within a certain radius to them, which when entered will make them notice and try to kill him. If Jonny can escape the radius then they will stop trying to kill him.
As the stage increases, so does the alien AI, so the radius will increase to 10 metres, 20 metres and 30 metres respectively.
Alien life does not regenerate.
