Your desktop icons are on a rampage. They have gone wild and are attempting to seize control of the desktop. Only one obstacle stands in there way -- you! This exciting space shooter features over 100 unique levels and rendered graphics. The game plays a bit like space invaders, with some galaga or galaxian mixed in. Many cool powerups augment your ship's icon-blasting abilities -- extra weapons, shields, and more! Play the game with mouse, joystick, or keyboard. Your actual desktop icons serve as the basis for the enemies that you will face. The icons, of course, have been augmented with powerful weapons of their own, and it will be very challenging to defeat them all. Only you can stop the icon invaders. Requires DirectX 9.0.
