I Alien

In I Alien, humanity’s livestock has become extinct after a nuclear war, driving survivors to search the galaxy for new sources of protein. Players control an alien captured aboard a human ship.

Explore the vessel from a side-view perspective, using color-coded transporters while jumping over obstacles and blasting enemies. Defeated foes may provide increased firepower, restored health, or reversed controls, while rescuing fellow prisoners grants extra lives.

The primary objective is to locate a bomb planted on the ship before the timer expires. After escaping, the alien must reach the interior of its home planet, where an escape pod is hidden.
