Earth's Last Stand

Can you resist the alien invasion as Earth's Last Stand?

Note: I have fixed a major bug where aliens didn't act properly on restarting after the player exploded. Please use v1.1 in the downloads.

Instructions:

You control Earth's last defence station, an unlikely hero against an alien invasion. Use the WASD or arrow keys to control your station, and mouse to point-and-click to shoot. You lose if your station runs out of health, or if you go off the screen. Pickup or shoot powerups for special bonuses during the game:

- Shield: limited time shield that will destroy all bullets and aliens that come into contact with it.
- Health: a gold star for instant return to max health.
- Weapons: limited time activation of triple-shot, destroy many more aliens at a time.
- Zapper: an area-of-effect weapon that destroys all aliens in a limited radius from your station.

Platforms:

Earth's Last Stand is available for Windows and Linux.
