This game is a retro 2d side scrolling action game with an addictive mix of alien fighting and planet mining.

Upon setting down on a planet, the alien hives will stir......

  • Protect yourself with upgrade-able weapons to fight aliens and collect their precious alien DNA. Over time gain rapid fire and multi shot for your weapon.

  • Dig into the planet with your mining tool and discover caves and alien gems. Gems will level up your weapons, mining tool, and explosive damage.

  • Gather seven types of DNA on each planet, you will need to take different samples of the environment and the alien life.

  • Hunt for long term DNA goals to level up six different buffs like force field, health regen and alien bullets.

  • When all DNA on a planet is collected you are free to move to a new world. Explore randomised planets that get progressively harder, there are hundreds of potential planet types and the game does not end.

  • Over 30 enemy types. Fight the deadly face eaters, giant hopping oddities and menacing hives with disgusting egg sacks! Find and harvest the dangerous boss aliens.

  • Full atmospheric soundtrack and tons of slithering alien Foley by the games creator Mark Mauer.

  • Level up, gather all the buffs, no limits, become a world destroyer! Take your cyber pup along for the ride.
