Moon Alien is an early arcade fixed shooter released in 1979. As a close derivative of the genre-defining Galaxian, this title challenges you to defend against waves of insect-like alien ships that dive down from a tight formation. You must clear each stage of enemies while avoiding their erratic, swooping attack patterns and incoming projectiles.
How to Play
Your objective is to destroy the entire alien fleet before your ship is destroyed. The game becomes progressively faster and more difficult with each cleared stage.
- Insert Coin: Shift
- Start: Enter
- Move: Left / Right Arrow Keys
- Fire: Z or X
Tips
- Prioritize shooting the diving aliens. Not only do they pose the greatest threat, but they also award significantly more points when destroyed in motion.
- Avoid getting trapped in the corners of the screen. Keep moving toward the center to give yourself room to dodge incoming crossfire.
