Craving some top-down shooter action? Look no further than the newly released Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion, now available on iOS! This game brings a fresh, low-res twist to the classic bullet hell genre, and it's packed with all the features you'd expect from a stellar space shooter.
In Alien Core, your mission is clear: take down the rogue AI, O-Core, which has betrayed its creators and established the Ostallian Empire. The best way to do this? Hop into your starship and blast through O-Core's forces with everything you've got.
The game embraces a retro aesthetic with its low-res graphics, offering a nostalgic feel as you navigate through engaging, albeit simple, spacescapes. You'll find all the classic elements here: grab power-ups to boost your firepower, upgrade your ship to enhance your capabilities, and destroy enemy installations in a satisfying cascade of pixels.
**Shoot the core!** With plenty of boss battles, various ships to unlock, and the choice between an arcade and story mode, Alien Core has a lot to offer. The chain-reaction mechanic stands out, providing a uniquely satisfying experience as you blast pixels into oblivion.
