Game Instructions –

Use the magical artifacts LIB and BLE to defeat the aliens that have invaded the village.
LIB can only move up and down, and BLE can only move left and right; you can move them with the [A][Z][,][.] keys.
By pressing Space, a rectangle will be formed between LIB and BLE, and any aliens inside will be banished.
Your FUEL gradually decreases with time, as well as when you activate your rectangle, consuming more depending on its size. If the FUEL reaches 0, or either LIB or BLE are caught by an alien, a miss is scored; after 3 misses, it’s GAME OVER.
You clear a round after you banish 10 aliens; after this, you recover a bit of FUEL for every alien banished.

This game is based on Namco’s Libble Rabble.
