About Alien Attack
You are a space trooper. Your crew finished the cleaning mission and left you alone by accident. Now you are surrounded by aliens. They're not going to judge you or something, they just want to tear you apart in pieces. Prepare to die?
Fight them as long as you can. Your crew may help you later. Maybe one of squad members were also left here?
You have an arsenal of five weapons, which can be loot from bosses. And aliens will sometimes drop some other weaponry if not damaged.
That's it. Good luck.
Features:
* — You can find Codex EP by Awesome Force on the Bandcamp. If you like the soundtrack, don't be afraid to support the author for his amazing music. He will highly appreciate it!

[h1] Very basic Asteroids like clone. Fend off waves of enemies and fight bosses. Mediocre at best. [/h1]5 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful
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. It places the player in the role of a stranded space marine, left behind on a hostile alien world after a failed mission. 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…1 found this helpful

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.
