How it feels

A hardcore 2D platformer where you cautiously navigate traps and flying monsters, collecting items to survive and escape an unknown planet.

What players say

Players widely call Alien X an asset flip built from a Construct 2 template. The hitboxes are oversized and the jumping feels broken, while buggy platforms often kill the player more than enemies do. A handful of reviewers find it a refreshing but short and difficult platformer.
