Space Penetrators is a fast paced Mac OS X shareware game suitable for all ages. Download and play a limited version for FREE.
The object of the game is to progress through the rounds by destroying both of the eyes before they destroy you. THE BRAIN has a few minions to assist it and will require some quick thinking to survive the increasing onslaught. A few challenge rounds will allow the nimble cannoneer an opportunity to upgrade his/her weapon system. If all required rounds (based on difficulty level) are completed a final battle against THE BRAIN will ensue.

A little about myself:
"Space Penetrators" was originally conceived and developed
during my spare time while job hunting after graduating from Southeastern Louisiana University in Computer Science,
and it is now an occasional weekend project (I love tinkering with this game ;).
I work full-time for the Louisiana Department of Justice (Attorney General's Office) as a Computer Forensic Examiner (EnCE)
and am a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC).
Over the past three years, working to fight against the exploitation of children,
I have come to see/learn many unspeakable things. To further assist in stomping out this exploitation $0.25 of each purchase of "Space Penetrators"
will be donated to The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
I want to thank Marc for allowing me to use his excellent explosion animation for the Swarm deaths.
Space Penetrators is a fast paced "Old-School" style arcade game for Apple Macintosh computers running Mac OS X. It was developed on a 1.33GHz PowerBook G4 17" and tested on both a 700MHz eMac and dual 867MHz G4 tower.
Dear kind Mac OS X Gamer:
Please help support future releases by registering your copy today. For less than a trip to the movie theater, you can protect your planet and its inhabitants from
the forever-hungry Swarm.
Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at a Mac program, let alone a game. It has been fun just trying to get it to work.
I would love to get some feedback (suggestions/critiques/is it fun to play?/etc...).
Please don't be too harsh. I am a rookie.
Due to some dependencies, the game will crash if the game name is changed.
