Storyline

OUR PLANET IS IN DANGER!
An unknown aggressor has launched several nuclear warheads.
Unfortunately, our only hope for survival is you.
You’re armed with an unusually large catapult and several ridiculously overstuffed pillows. The plan is to launch the pillows so they will land under the warheads and cushion the impact.

Be quick, and remember … only one pillow is enough to save Earth from certain doom!
