Armageddon - Missile Command remake

My first Gosu game is finally ready for playing, but not quite finished.

You can download it from my Github (version 0.2 is broken there, just download the zip).

To play it, you'll need the Tween gem. Just gem install tween. If you're on Windows and want an exe, I've posted a build here.

That just about sums it up. The next version will have balanced gameplay (more challenging, less boring), as well as a high scores screen (maybe using ippa's online service).

Edit: Oh, and here's a video.

I had a go with it and enjoyed it. Nice visual style.

I would prefer to have two launchers, each tied to a mouse button, which allows more tactical firing (and would allow missiles to fire slightly slower or travel slower and make the player make more tactical decisions about which launcher fires). I've seen that in other missile command games and it does add another dimension.

Would be nice to add ippa's high score system.

A lot of people say they want to be able to fire the launchers individually, so I'll probably add that. Thanks for playing.

I like your use of tweening, and the landscape is nice!
I suck at this game, tough..

Thanks. I hadn't ever used tweening before this. If I ever needed something to move, I'd just use linear interpolation. Just a bit of tweening, selecting an appropriate tween, and it's much better. I'm even using tweens to control the frames of animation, as well as movement.
