A.E.

A.E. is a Space Invaders-inspired arcade shooter with a 3D view. Alien swarms attack Earth while dropping bombs, and you control a laser cannon that moves horizontally along the bottom of the screen.

Destroy the alien forces before they overwhelm you. As the game progresses, the swarm splits apart and attacks from multiple sides, increasing the challenge.
