Alien Planet

Reflexes, rhythm, and a willingness to fail — Alien Planet asks for all three. There's no end — just how long you can keep going and how many points you can bank. Controls: One or two keys do most of the work. Spacebar to jump, arrow keys to move — that's usually enough. Tips to get better: Look at what the top scores on leaderboards have in common — it's usually a specific strategy. Pay attention to visual cues — most games telegraph what's coming a half-second before it happens. Power-ups are more valuable when you save them for the moment you're about to lose. If you're drawn to games with a alien, planet flavor, Alien Planet hits that spot cleanly. Alien Planet is the kind of game you'll keep open in a tab for weeks.
