Alien Barrage
Retro arcade alien shooter
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Join the Retro Shoot-’Em-Up Challenge! Battle endless alien waves, climb the Game Center leaderboards, and relive the golden age of arcade shooters.
Defend Earth from endless alien waves in this fast-paced retro arcade shooter. Collect powerups, survive boss battles, and climb the global leaderboards.
Touch and drag to move your ship while it fires automatically, dodge incoming plasma, and clear wave after wave of invading aliens before they reach the bottom. What starts as a classic arcade battle quickly escalates into a tougher survival challenge, with faster enemies, more pressure, and bigger rewards the longer you last.
Alien Barrage mixes traditional formation-based waves with special events that keep every run fresh. Every 4th level is a Bonus Round, where aliens break formation and streak across the screen in unpredictable patterns for extra points. Every 7th level is a Boss Level, featuring a massive enemy that absorbs heavy damage, fires missiles, and gets tougher each time it returns.
Powerups can turn the tide in an instant. Collect Rapid Fire to double your fire rate, Spread Shot to blast multiple enemies at once, Shield to absorb a hit, and Extra Life to stay in the fight longer. When things get desperate, unleash a bomb to clear the screen and save your run.
Choose how you want to play with Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty modes, each offering a different challenge level and score potential. Fly the default Classic Ship or unlock the Dual Cannon ship for permanent double firepower.
Compete on Game Center leaderboards for top score and highest wave survived, challenge your friends, and unlock achievements as you play. Whether you want a quick arcade session or a long high-score grind, Alien Barrage delivers classic shooter action with modern progression and competitive replay value.
