D.E.E.P Impact

A retro-arcade-style shoot em' down where you can't always see the sub-terranean terrors threatening civilization! Deploy the experimental D.E.E.P. combat vehicle and its array of drill missiles against the vile underground Tectoids. Scan the earth using ground-penetrating radar and tactically carve out the terrain with high-explosives! Then, once you've caught your breath, count yourself lucky you don't need real quarters to play.

**WARNING: THIS IS A HIGH-DIFFICULTY GAME! DON'T BE DISCOURAGED IF YOU KNEEL BEFORE THE TECTOID THREAT!**

We don't have an online leaderboard, but we'd be pumped if you posted the highest wave you made it to in the comments section! 

Controls

Move ////  A and D

Weapons  ////  Left and Right Arrow

Radar ////   Hold and release Down Arrow

Switch Weapon  ////  Up Arrow when near arsenal (ARSNL)

While the D.E.E.P. cannot take damage, each Tectoid that escapes to the surface increases global Mayhem. After the sixth Tectoid gets loose on the surface, it's curtains for humanity!

Very addictive game, it's a perfect "coffe-break" game in a way as it's not too hard, not too simple and jolly all around. Had to play again haha.
