Note from the producer:

This game is very much inspired by movies like Independence Day and War of the Worlds and arcade games like Xevious. But its the iPhone touch screen interface that brings the vertical scrolling shooter genre a new flavour. The idea was to build a game that has a simple but effective user interface. The first minute of a new level is easy but wait a bit and the waves will intensify so your shooting and dodging ability will be challenged to the limit.
