Introducing Drumstep Defenders

It''s 4th already and I haven't started coding yet... But it's OK, accorting to this rules of course:
How to succeed at making one game a month
Drumstep Defenders is an ultra-fast space rail-shooter game. As an operator of a laser canon you're destroying hundreds of thousands of alien spaceships. All of that mixed with a wicked drumstep soundtrack by Tut Tut Child.
