About this game

In Ace Armstrong vs. the Alien Scumbags!, legendary star fighter pilot Ace Armstrong takes on a tentacled alien invasion in a humorous, 1950s-inspired take on classic old-school shoot-'em-ups.

Fly through several action-packed levels and battle huge bosses with unique attack patterns. Ace's Recycl-o-Ray absorbs the essence of defeated Scumbags, letting you turn their own weapons against them. The game also includes continues across all difficulty levels, autofire modes, a smaller collision box, and controls that map the Recycl-o-Ray to the shoulder buttons.

Developed and published by Laughing Jackal, the game was released on September 7, 2010, for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and Sony PSP Minis.
