Evaluation

Alien Attack launched on June 21, 2016 and received a series of updates over the following years. The developer shipped six major content updates between launch and December 2019, adding new bosses, weapons, enemies, co-op play, a new soundtrack, and a companion DLC (Alien Attack: Zero, released February 27, 2017). The most recent developer communication of any kind was the v1.4 update on December 8, 2019, which added a palette shop, a new skin, and minor fixes. Since that date — now over six years ago — there have been no further posts, announcements, patches, or communications from the developer. The store description contains no mention of planned content, and all listed DLC has shipped. With no unreleased content, no developer statements about future updates, and a years-long silence following what reads as a polish-focused final patch, the game appears to have reached its completed state as of the December 8, 2019 update.

About this game

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:

Hardcore gameplay: are you a natural born alien hunter? Let's find out.
Retro-style pixel-art graphics: every sprite and background was drawn with love and care.
Retro-style chip sounds: do you love NES? Or maybe Famicom? Or Dendi? You have to check this game's sounds out then.
Impressive chiptune soundtrack by Awesome Force*: it is really great, you have to check it out.
Split-screen Co-op: you can play with your friend if you have an XBOX controller. Just contact them and try it out.
Steam achievements and leaderboards: did you achieve more than 1000 points? Or even more than 2000? Your friends will know about it. And they will be mad at themselves for being not the best gamers.

* — 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!
