You are a drone on night patrol over the desert. An enemy drone is out there somewhere, and it's heading your way. 

Both of you are equipped with search beams that destroy electronics on contact. The enemy doesn't know exactly where you are, but it's always getting closer. Find it with your beam and hold steady to burn it down. If its beam finds you first, move fast or you're cooked.

Controls:

• WASD: Move drone
• Mouse: Aim lightbeam
• Space: Start game
• Player health: Green X's, top right
• Enemy health: Red X's, top left

Dev Note: This project was a fun way to try out new things I was interested in: 1) a pixel to ASCII style art direction, and 2) a fully code based, engine free game. I based it off of the game 'tanks' with a twist. This definitely still has rough edges, such as player speed, jitter, and the enemy AI could be more intelligent. Any feedback would be welcome!
