About the Game

Game Play

Moonbase Down is a minimalist xenomorph survival horror arcade game with tactical shooter elements. Featuring an ever expanding horde of alien life forms which are able to reproduce using the human body as host.


Players must balance the use of personal force fields, ammunition, power, and avoidance to escape all 10-floors with Jonesy the cat. All the while, Jonesy is your companion and asset boosting power regeneration, but she is easily spooked by alien contact.
