WTTW: Flight Control in Spaaaaaaace

FLIGHT CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM

For today’s Time-Waster^TM, we have a clone of a game that made a splash on iPhone not too long ago, though it’s a lot more playable here because you control it with a mouse and not that infuriating touchscreen where your bloody finger blots out the world like a space invading super sausage laying waste to your carefully-crafted flight plans. Grumble.

Anyway, it’s called Saucer Panic, and though it also appears to feature pay-to-play elements, in my experience thus far, they seem to merely allow you to cheat more effectively thus dialing down the mostly-sedate difficulty, so it isn’t as if you’ll actually need that crutch…right?
