Overview

Alien Force is a simple "blast everything that moves" arcade game.  You are the light blue ship that initially appears in the lower-right corner; the aliens are the red ships that are lined up at the top of the playing grid.  The object is to destroy all the enemy ships without getting destroyed yourself.

Each enemy ship is worth 100 points.  When you destroy all the ships and advance to the next level, you will receive a bonus of 500 times the level number you just cleared.  If you are finding the current level too easy, you can select Level under the Options menu to move to whatever level you desire.

The enemy ships start out pretty dumb on Level 1, but become smarter on the higher levels.  They also start firing back!  Also, some will require two hits to be destroyed.


Using the Keyboard

Use the arrow keys to move your ship.  The "S" key (or the "5" key on the keypad when NUMLOCK is on) stops the ship.  The "R" key reverses your direction.  The space bar fires a missile.  You can fire only one missile at a time.


Using the Mouse

The left mouse button is used to change your ship's direction.  There are two ways to do this:  by clicking on a point near your ship in the direction you want to go, or by clicking on one of the direction arrows in the "compass rose" to the right of the game grid.  To stop the ship, click on the square in the middle of the rose, or click on the ship itself.

Click anywhere in the window with the right button to fire a missile.
