What players think
The recurring themes across 95 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Complementing the visuals is an energetic chiptune soundtrack by Awesome Force, whose pulsing rhythms push the player forward through each wave.
Alien Attack belongs to a long lineage of retro-inspired shooters, but it carves its own niche through its unapologetic simplicity and its focus on tight, responsive gameplay.
The options menu isn't complex as well, which I give it a thumbs up, featuring as well a highscore system which truly completes the essence of the game.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
