2024 - Team-B Arcade Shakeout

For the past thirty years, the human race has been running experiments on an alien species known as the Ostruids, a species of extraterrestrial life that crashed down to earth in the middle of a cornfield outside of Wayne County, Nebraska. In order to hide the development, the crash site was disguised as a cattle farm, and the farm was run by CIA agents disguised as simple farmers. Their research efforts developed under the name “The Life-Link Project” as the Ostruids demonstrated a fascinating ability to siphon life from earth's vegetation. For the past thirty years, American researchers and doctors alike worked together to both study these creatures for their medical potential, as well as hide their existence from the rest of the world, however they terribly underestimated the Ostruids growing strength. 

You will play as one such Ostruid - experiment T.19 - the sole survivor of your race after breaking free from the barn you were being held captive in. Unbeknownst to the CIA agents, there exists four main runes that serve as access points to your home planet, four runes that when activated will open a portal back to Ostruid. Your job is to navigate the surrounding cornfields activating these runes before returning to the barn where the portal will open, however the “farmers” that are guarding the premises will be in hot pursuit. More attackers will fall in behind you the more runes are activated, but if you can make it to all four before going back to the portal, you will make it out safely.
