Alien Attack

Alien Attack and the Alien Attack Zero DLC provide a fun short burst of entertainment if you can wade through some mild jank. The game kept crashing every time I would try to navigate the Palettes menu with my 8bitdo Ultimate C {model: 82CB} controller. Using only WASD to navigate that menu and exiting the game after each successful purchase helped me successfully navigate the issue. Overall the game is pretty fun and I'd consider it a worthy shorter experience.

Old school arcade shooter. It's got some good challenge behind it but is really addictive soon as you get into the groove. One of my favourite 100%d games to date.

Alien Attack, developed and published by Alien Jellyfish, is a fast-paced top-down shooter that embraces the charm and intensity of old-school arcade design.

With no backup, no reinforcements, and only a dwindling supply of ammunition, survival becomes a matter of reflex, resourcefulness, and pure endurance. From the opening moments, the game establishes its identity: it is not about intricate storytelling or complex world-building, but about the relentless rhythm of combat and the satisfaction of lasting just one wave longer than before. Alien Attack belongs to a long lineage of retro-inspired shooters, but it carves its own niche through its unapologetic simplicity and its focus on tight, responsive gameplay. The visual style of Alien Attack immediately recalls the pixel-heavy glory of classic arcade cabinets and 16-bit shooters. The art direction is minimalist yet effective, using clear silhouettes and high-contrast environments that allow for readability even in the chaos of battle. Explosions flash with bright bursts of color, enemies swarm in erratic patt…

Amazing game it feels like galaga on crack and honestly one of the best arcade shooters iv played in a minute. Hope they come out with more ships and DLCS easy recommend... 10/10

Plays like Asteroid with boss fights. One of these days I'll reach the end.

Fun arcade shooter where aliens try to ruin your day (and your screen). Shoot everything, don't die, and pretend you're saving the universe.
