The second game in the collection: Pillows (Package name: pillows)
Description
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!

Gameplay
The nuclear warheads slowly fall from the top of the screen, one at a time. You have time to shoot the pillars below the rocket while the warhead is still falling. Once it reaches earth, you loose the game. In every level, the rocket drops a little bit faster, so you have less time for throwing your pillows on the earth.
Control
You can control the game with nearly any key you like, there is just one key needed. I use the space key. Just wait until the display in the top right of the screen reaches the angle with which you want to throw the pillow, then press the key of your choice until the display shows the force that you want to use for shooting your pillow. Once you release the key, the pillow gets fired away and lands somewhere on the earth – if you are lucky it lands below the warhead. If the warhead falls too slow, you can use the down key to temporarily accelerate it.

Rock on! Thanks a bunch for packaging this up for me. I hadn’t yet found the time to figure out deb packages, so this is great for me and users of my game!
I’ll refer anyone looking for an Ubuntu package of my game to here. Keep up the great work.
