DefeatMe is a simple shooter which involves attempting to kill the enemy with as few shots as possible. See, the problem is that on each subsequent level, you're put up against clones of yourself from each of the previous rounds.

Put simply, the less shots you fire off, the less shots will be fired back at you next round. And vice versa, of course - take your time killing the single ship in the first round, and you may find it rather difficult to complete the next.

There's a time limit too, making the gameplay even more intense. The question is, what is the best way to play? Fire off one by one and hope your accuracy skills are up to the challenge, or dart around dodging all the incoming projectiles? See what you think over on Wonderfl.

Not much to say, only, pretty good game.

Surprisingly addictive, especially in the double digit levels, though eventually you end up screwed. Delaying the inevitable means gaming the system as much as possible, but the wall of lasers prevents a lot of that.

Unfortunately I can't start playing this game. The first second of play I'm already game over and see a lot of lasers coming down. Am I doing anything wrong?

same issue here

That's precisely what's meant to happen.

Press fire and you'll start your first battle.

Indeed, press fire (X or Z) and the game begins.
