Airplane Defender

You control a single fighter plane viewed from above. Your mouse moves the plane across the screen, and it fires automatically at the enemy aircraft that enter from the top. The main objective is to survive each wave, dodging a growing barrage of enemy fire while shooting them down. You start with three lives, and losing them all ends the game. The pacing is quick; the screen can get crowded, and the difficulty comes from managing the increasing number of projectiles and targets. It feels like a tense, focused scramble to keep your plane in one piece.
