Get Aligned

Spooked by the loud voices of humans, the aliens scatter and tumble, using their color camouflage in a desperate attempt to blend into their surroundings. Alas for them, the humans have called upon you to capture all the trembling aliens, and add each one to your collection.

In Get Aligned, take note of the alien in the center of the group. In particular, note the alien's body color, its background color and which of the four cardinal directions it is facing. If you succeed in getting the other four aliens to exactly mimic the one in the center, you receive that alien for your collection. Collect them all, and save the human race!

You have two weapons, each of which can be in one of two modes. The rotational beam rotates an alien (left and right modes available) and the chromatic laser changes the alien's color (body and background color modes available). Tap on one of the two buttons at the bottom of the screen to set the currently operational weapon (you can only use one at a time). Tap again to change the mode of that weapon.

Once the mode is set, tap on the alien you are targeting and your selected weapon will take effect. You start with ammunition of five pulses for each weapon, but one pulse is added to the rotational beam, and two pulses are added to the chromatic laser both weapons every three seconds. Don’t forget to keep an eye on the timer, though!

Collection: When you win a round, you capture that alien and it is added to your collection. You can view your collection at any time, using the menu.

Genetics Lab: When you have collected all six colors for a given alien, you will have the opportunity to bring that alien to the Genetics Lab. There you can cross any two aliens from your collection for which you have all the colors. If you hit on one of the correct combinations, you will unlock an alien in the Rare Aliens category. Through your genetic experiments, obtain all six colors of a rare alien, and it will appear in the main game.

In the free game, you can collect five types of aliens in six colors, for a total of 30 aliens across three categories. However, if you upgrade to the paid version, there are 30 types of aliens in six colors, for a total of 180 aliens across 15 categories!
