Tips for a better score
- Keep the bottom row thin: if any alien reaches your level the game ends at once, however many lives you still have.
- Every alien is worth 20 points wherever it sits, a cleared wave adds 100, and the comet streaking across the top pays 150, so watch the sky.
- Don't fire from under a shield; your own shots chip it away just like the aliens' bombs, so step out from cover to shoot.
- On a phone, hold a finger on the game screen and the cannon glides under it twice as fast as the buttons; holding A keeps firing.
About Alien Rain
Alien Rain is a fixed-cannon shooter. Rows of pixel aliens march across the screen and drop lower with every turn, firing back as they come. Take cover behind your three crumbling shields, pick off the columns from the edges, and shoot the bonus comet that streaks across the top for a big score. Each wave starts faster and lower.
