Earthling Eliminator

Earthling Eliminator was one of those straightforward Flash games you'd find in the mid-2000s. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick distraction, the kind of thing you'd play for a few minutes between other tasks. The premise was simple and borrowed a familiar character, putting you in control of Marvin the Martian.

You control Marvin as he moves left and right across the bottom of the screen. Your goal is to shoot the cartoon characters that appear above you, but you have to avoid hitting the bombs that fall among them. The mouse directs your aim and firing, making it a point-and-click shooter. The pace picks up as more targets appear, and the challenge comes from carefully timing your shots to avoid triggering an explosion. It feels like a test of simple reflexes and cautious aiming.
