Story

The war began when our galaxy was invaded by an army of insectoid creatures known as the Minaripods. They are an aggressive species driven purely by instinct to eliminate all other life forms. In these dark times, space travel has become nearly impossible, as they generate an unknown dark substance that reduces visibility throughout the galaxy. Minaripods reproduce rapidly, so you have to exterminate them in one go. Fortunately, you have unlimited attempts for this mission. You control your drone safely from afar, far away from the battlefield. Embark on an epic journey to illuminate the darkness!
