Aliens Over Earth
Abstract
Welcome to Aliens Over Earth! In this classic style platformer game, you play as an alien invading Earth for resources necessary to save her planet! You get to fly around in an alien saucer and search for the mysterious blueprint book, while defending against guided missile launchers, and collecting satellite dishes that have the materials the alien requires. But don’t be too careless in your pursuit of saving your planet because there are still Earth’s defenses and they are very capable and will not hesitate to take you down. Although if your ship gets overwhelmed and destroyed by the encroaching jet fighters or the guided missiles, fear not! You will have a second chance to play as the humanoid alien lady on foot. Your objective will be to go around gathering parts to get another rebuilt ship to spawn under the stone archway.
This game features the one playable level with a matching art style, sound effects, music, and level design placement for a fun and engaging experience that is out of this world! There are two ship firing abilities, one humanoid ability, and a whole lot of action-packed fun! This game has a main menu system that allows the player to navigate between objectives and controls before beginning a new game in order to get familiarized with what to do and how to do it, as well as an exit button on the main menu for exiting convenience in full screen.
Do you have what it takes to save the planet and survive against Earth's defenses? Try the game now and find out!
