Moon Alien Part 2 Older Version is a fixed-screen arcade shooter released in 1980 by Nichibutsu. Built as a direct sequel to the original Moon Alienโwhich was itself a close variation of the hit Galaxianโthe game puts you in command of a lone starship fending off formations of dive-bombing extraterrestrials. A defining twist in this version is the addition of a constantly depleting fuel meter, forcing you to play aggressively and clear out the alien swarms before your energy runs dry.
How to Play
Your objective is to destroy all the aliens in each wave without running out of fuel or being hit by enemies and their projectiles. To play in the browser, press Shift to insert a coin and Enter to start. Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to move your ship along the bottom of the screen, and press Z or X to fire. You can also slightly guide your shots after firing by moving your ship, allowing you to adjust your aim mid-flight.
Tips
- Keep a close eye on your energy meter at the bottom of the screen; if you play too defensively, you will run out of fuel and lose a ship.
- Prioritize taking out the aliens that break formation and dive toward you, as they pose the most immediate threat and are easier to hit while moving.
