Aliens Go Home Run is a fantastic experience that invigorates a genre of games I thought was long since dead and buried. The slick, fun gameplay coupled with the brilliantly nostalgic visuals and sound effects is immensely enjoyable – and especially considering its ridiculously cheap asking price of $3.99/£2.79, I can’t recommend it enough. No matter what type of gamer you are, you’re bound to get a kick out of the beautiful simplicity of Aliens Go Home Run.

Altogether, Aliens Go Home Run is a splendid brick-breaker. There are no complaints to be had with the controls, and it's always fun to crush bricks and baddies. The soundtrack, provided by +Tek, is quite delightful. Although the voice-work is a little hard to discern, it does a fine job of keeping the player updated on their current situation. When they hear "Strike One!" and then "Strrrike Two!" they will know to be more careful, so that Sally doesn't take another hit.

Aliens Go Home Run is a cracking little arcade inspired title. Mixing elements of Breakout, Galaxian and Baseball, it provides a familiar concept, but one that does something a little bit different. It’s a game that you can pick up and play right away, but will take forever to become an expert in.

Aliens Go Home Run is a solid package and injects new life into the genre, presenting a unique and enjoyable game with elements of the bat and ball genre, while requiring bullet-dodging skills of 2D shooting games. There is enough variety as levels progress to keep the player motivated, and the score attack aspect and the custom level feature may keep the dedicated coming back once the last level is completed.
