Hey, it's missile command time! Destroy the missiles before they reach the earth and blow up your family!

Credit

This uses the excellent libwiisprite for graphics and Sndlib for sound. The background music is Kenny Beltrey - Hydrate, available for free from the Kahvi Collective. The sound effects were made by me spitting on my microphone.

I'm also using DragonMinded's FreeType With Libwiisprite for FreeType text display. The font I'm using is Ben Nathan's Elements, which is available for free from Urban Fonts.

Controls

+	Action
	Aim crosshairs
or	Fire anti-missile missile
Hold Left/Up/Right or	Fire from left/center/right silo
	Restart game
+	100 missile mode
	Exit to loader
