Aliens Go Home Run

An interesting take on 'brick breaker', combining it with bullet hell elements and bosses. A solid game overall.

Do you remember the game Brick Out or Arkanoid? Well if you do now add baseball to to the picture and here is "Aliens GO Home Run". While the game is simple, fun and keeps you playing(most important). I found several minor bugs/issues! The bonus stage targets kinda filled the screen and helped maximize my points... No biggie but it brings up your statistics. The other was while fighting bosses, even after being hit multiple times it continued to left me proceed with the destruction of the Bosses. Lol while these are no big issue, they do effect the games statistics. So would this stop me from recommending the game?. No, infact I will go all out and say this is truly a HOME RUN!

Brick breaker with some decent challenge with its bullet hell elements and boss rush mode. Was surprisingly fun little snack game. 7/10. [h1]My boss rush run[/h1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2lBUd5Q30E Follow my Steam Curator for more: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43514354/

一款非常有创意的动作游戏，虽然游戏基本玩法取自FC弹球，但却有很大的创新 比如你控制的不再是一个非常抽象的平台，而是一个挥着球杆的少年，目标也不仅仅是打碎所有砖块，更需要躲避外星生物的攻击并反击它们 游戏里棒球即使掉落在地面上你也不会失败，但是外星生物的攻击还是会造成一定的损伤，如果被被击中三次后就会三振出局 游戏控制上除了方向键控制移动外，Z 滑铲，X 挥棒，C 使用特殊技能 滑铲是中后期非常重要的操作，因为滑铲时是无敌的，而且还可以对地面上的单位造成伤害，不过连续滑铲间隔还是可以被攻击到的，所以操作上不是无脑滑铲就能一路打到底 特殊技能依靠掉落的闪光道具获得，总共4个技能，每拾取一个道具增加一格技能充能（也就是上手没有任何特殊技能，捡到第一个道具后获得第一个特殊技能，捡到第二个道具时获得第二个技能的同时失去第一个技能，捡到第三个道具的时候获得第三个技能的同时失去第二个技能），当然技能的效果也是逐渐增强的。 按下C时根据当前激活的技能获得效果，四个技能依次是：恢复一点血；获得护盾，抵挡一段伤害（受到第一次伤害后护盾不是立刻消失，还能继续保留护盾1、2秒）；暂时性获得一个分身球；获得一段时间能发射剑气的能力，挥棒的同时发出剑气，可以攻击敌人、也可以打碎砖块 游戏关卡有两种： 一种是普通关卡，目标是击碎所有砖块，躲避敌人，虽然敌人也可以被攻击，攻击次数达到一定程度后会暂时消灭它，但一段时间后仍然会再次出现 一种是BOSS关卡，每个世界的每5关，目标这次改为打到BOSS，此时的砖块反而成了障碍，需要打碎它们，但是打碎的砖块一定时间后也是会恢复的（如图普通关卡的里敌人单位） 游戏难度不算太低，尤其每个世界的A~E关，难度非常高

por donde empesar, el juego esta inspirado de el juego de una pelota y una plataforma que se mueve a los lados y que el proposito sea romper todos los ojetivos y con varios intems, y si en ves de una plataforma, ponemos a una chica jugadora de béisbol y aliens, el resultado es este juego la erdad me musto mucho el juego, los niveles son buenos, visualmente es estilo Retro lo cual a mi me gusto mucho, el sountrack muy bueno, tiene pocos niveles pero puedes crear tu propio nivel si gustas, yo lo recomiendo ^-^ gracias por leer.

It's alright. For a small game that's cheap, it has a nice premise. My biggest complaint is that it gets repetative. The music and the gameplay both kind of wear on you by level 7 of any given section (10 levels each). If you like these type of breakout-style games, then give it a try. It has a lot of charm--I personally like your three hits as "strike 1, 2 and 3"--but lack of variety keeps me from recommending it. I'd encourage the developer to keep that style they made for the intro. That was a nice throwback to the simple and fun video game intros.

A solid arcade experience that truly deserves to have it's own Arcade machine, this screams classic, and it was made with a huge passion, if you were the kid that liked to go to the arcades to play games of all kinds this is a must have for your collection Fantastic music, fun gameplay, and ridiculously cheap, absolutely recommend it

AGHR does arcade / replay value correctly, and is worthwhile / fun for the price - it put a smile on my face =) Reminds me of: If you liked Strikey Sisters , you'll probably like Aliens Go Home Run. Pros + - Takes the old Brick Breaking game concept, and breathes a lot of new life into it, while still remembering what makes this genre fun to begin with. - Casual arcade fun, but enough going for it that there's lots to challenge you if you feel like mastering it. - Lots of replay value. - Game graphics are retro pixil-ish, but in a good way. Almost Super Nintendo, but not quite 16 bit, if that helps you ;) - Sound is fun and fitting for an arcade title. - Gameplay is tight and responsive. If you make a mistake, it's on you buddy! Cons - - I know the game is going for a NES retro look, but the User Interface was slightly distracting in how unattreactive it was on the starting menus and level select. Not a big deal or game changing, but that's my gripe. - Could use a few more music tracks (gets a bit repetitive on long plays).

Looks like an arcade classic from the mid-90s. Plays like a Popcap game back when Popcap made good games. The level editor could use a little TLC, but the main game is great. One of the problem with Arkanoid / Breakout style games on console or PC is that sort of game was designed to use a paddle or a trackball. Without a paddle or trackball, you're stuck with a joystick, console controller, keyboard, or mouse. Mice usually have a little too much precision and the other control options usually don't have enough. This game fixes that problem by tossing the paddle idea and giving you a character to control. Instead of a paddle, you're a baseball player, which means you have a bat with which to aim the ball in a specific direction. This makes ball control a lot easier. Since breaking bricks is easier, enemies are added to harass the player. To deal with this, the player's dash nullifies the bullets, but only if you use it with good timing. The enemies' attack just oten enough that you can't just ignore them, but the primary objective is still busting bricks. Frankly, I wish I had thought of all this myself. Aliens Go Home Run is a fantastic game, and well worth your time. (Game was recieved for free for review purposes through the Curator Connect program.)

How often can you clone arkanoid? Obviously quite a lot of times! This itteration has a baseball player fighting off invading aliens. Well, why not... It has competent controls, a nice background that doesn't obfuscate the action and actually is fun to play. Most of the game is as expected. But it also has major differences that go really well with the theme. First of all, the ball drops on the lawn. It doesn't mean you lost, it just means you need to go there and hit it. This actually makes the game a bit of a shoot'em up, because stage four power-up is a projectile shot, that makes the ball completely obsolete for 30 shots. Second, you have to hit the ball, you are a baseball player with a bat. When you hit it, there are four direction the ball can take, and you control exactly each direction by facing left or right and "aiming" (pressing) up. Third, it has a simple dodge mechanic, because aliens shoot at you and you know how to slide to the next base. It is actually well thought through! But there are also two downsides to this game. A) The sound needs a complete overhaul to remove the subtle but hearable static or noise. B) The visuals surrounding the game need a bit of polish. The lecel select screen is straight up hideous. Why not make some kind of "innings board"? If you like hard, challenging arkanoid games, baseball and space invasions, you have found your dreamgame. Price is good, and the value definitely is there.
