Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum is an action-puzzle platformer released for the NES in 1990. Playing as the stranded space explorer Dash Galaxy, you must navigate the dangerous floors of an alien prison to repair your ship and escape. The game mixes a top-down perspective for exploring the asylum’s corridors with challenging side-scrolling puzzle rooms where you must find keys and avoid deadly alien hazards.
How to play
Your goal is to reach the exit of each room by finding the necessary keys while surviving alien encounters and navigating platforms. The game controls use the standard NES layout: move Dash with the arrow keys, use Z to drop bombs or detonators, and press X to jump. You can push blocks to reach higher platforms or crush enemies.
Tips
- Your oxygen supply depletes constantly while in the puzzle rooms, so plan your route carefully and move quickly to reach the exit.
- You have a limited number of lives and the puzzles can be unforgiving; don’t be afraid to use bombs to clear out troublesome enemies rather than risking a difficult jump.
