AlifallX: Don't Leave Them Behind

AlifallX: Don't Leave Them Behind

AlifallX is an arcade browser game where you pilot a spaceship and fight to rescue stranded aliens before they fall into the void. Rocks drift down from above — aliens walk to the edge and drop off, and it's your job to catch them. But space is not a friendly place, and things get wild fast.

As you climb through levels, the chaos ramps up: UFOs cross the screen firing tractor beams, upside-down aliens rise from below, gravity wells warp your flight path, and bomb aliens fall to steal your lives. Collect coins, buy bullets, and keep your ship flying — every alien saved counts.
