The Abstract Expressionism Battleground Game

Your Willem de Kooning character must protect the Jackson Pollock painting at the bottom from the incoming Philip Guston heads, which are shooting Barnett Newman "zip paintings" at you. As the zips hit your Mark Rothko base, they will create craters, opening exposure to further attack the Pollock. Use your arrow keys to move around, and click to shoot at the Guston heads - you may also shoot down the zips to blow them up before they make contact. Each successful shot scores a point, and the game is over when you get hit or if they clear a crater down to the Pollock and hit that.
