* Click a square on the battlefield grid to fire your laser weapon. It has a cooldown, so do not click too fast!

* You have limited energy, and each laser shot takes 1 energy!

* To fire your special weapon, first click the 'arm special weapon' button, then click the grid. Click 'weapons' to learn more.

* The grid appears empty because the aliens are cloaked... hitting their ship will permanently reveal that part of the ship.

* Alien ships can MOVE! They might move into a cell you fired at previously!

* There are two possible combinations of alien ships.

* HSWOH squadron has 3 ships, of sizes 4, 3, and 2.

* VTLNH squadron has 3 ships, all of size 3.

* To win, destroy all 3 ships before you run out of time or energy.

* The aliens ships are charging some sort of energy bomb, which they will fire very soon.

* If you run out of energy/ammo, we cannot stop them from attacking, and we will lose.

* If you attack too slowly, they will fire their weapon, and we will lose.

* There is only enough time to outfit your ship with one special weapon.

* Each special weapon does something different and costs different energy, but can only be fired once.

* RADAR: Uses 5 energy and will remove the alien ship cloaking for a short time.

* EMP Bomb: Uses 3 energy and will stop the aliens from moving for a short time.

* PAUL: The 'Plasma Arc Ultra Laser' uses 7 energy and will destroy any ship it hits.

* Can I Pause? NO. The aliens are coming to kill us all. Do you understand the severity of the situation?.

* Will there be adjustable difficultly? NO. The aliens are coming to kill us all, and will not go easy on us.

* Will there be high scores? No plans at this time.

* NO. Whatever it is, no. Unless you want to send me money. Then yes. Coffee and burgers are also accepted.
