Altered Space: A 3-D Alien Adventure is an isometric puzzle-adventure game released for the Game Boy in 1991. You play as Humphrey, an astronaut who has been abducted by aliens and trapped aboard their ship. The game challenges you to navigate a series of interconnected isometric rooms, managing a strictly limited oxygen supply while avoiding alien hazards and solving environmental puzzles to find a way back home.
How to Play
To play, you must explore the alien vessel, collecting oxygen canisters to stay alive and finding items to bypass obstacles. As a Game Boy title, movement is handled with the D-pad (mapped to your browser’s arrow keys), allowing you to walk diagonally through the isometric environments. Use the A and B buttons (Z and X keys) to pick up, drop, and use items, while Start (Enter) pauses the game. Mastering precise movement and item management is key to survival.
Tips
- Manage your oxygen carefully: Your oxygen constantly depletes and drains even faster when you take damage. Prioritize finding and collecting oxygen canisters to extend your time.
- Use items strategically: Items like springs can help you reach higher platforms, while objects like space boots allow you to walk across hazardous floors. Remember to pick up useful tools after using them if they can be reused.
