WE COME IN PIECES

Earth said "welcome." You brought a tractor beam.

You are the flying saucer. Sweep your beam across a sleepy mid-century city and watch it come apart piece by piece: roofs cave, walls buckle, whole blocks fold into rubble. Hoover up the little people fleeing below, drop them through your onboard processor, and turn a quiet afternoon into the raw biomass that makes your next pass so much worse.

Then do it to a bigger city.

Destroy, harvest, evolve

• Carve buildings apart in real time with a beam you steer like a cursor.

• Harvest the population, then run them through a satisfying peg-board processor that pays out in biomass.

• Spend it all in the Evolution Matrix, a sprawling upgrade tree: burst attacks, splitting and chaining beams, drone escorts, meteor storms, orbital sweeps from the mothership, and machines that harvest while you sit back.
