I want to love this game but...
If u are going to have a shoot button, u should have an option to turn off 'Tap anywhere to shoot'; as it really makes game play suffer from poor controls.
Fantastic!
My 8 year old son and my 6 year old daughter both LOVE this game -- it is one of their all-time favorites! And Daddy sneaks in a game or two now and then, as well. A must buy at $.99! Huge enjoyment value.
No replay
It's a fun and beautiful game, but sometimes it gets impossible and then, you have to start all again, hence the replay value is almost 0.
Bad controls
The controls is not good at all, when I try to attack the left it aim at the right. Fix it for the 5 stars
fun game, but no save option
the game is pretty fun, but it has a couple of drawbacks: a) there doesn't seem to be a lot of control over which weapons you can use. They show up randomly and you can't really store weapons that would be more helpful when you need them.
b) you can't save the game. So if you need to exit, you have to start all over again.

Cute, fun, and frenetic action
Alien Escape is one of those games that is just simple to play and easy to enjoy because of that. You are an alien who must protect its babies from being kidnapped by a large variety of enemies all intent on stealing them from you. As you sit in your spaceship at the bottom of the screen, enemies come at you from all directions, and if they manage to get too close, they'll take one of your babies. Lose all your babies and it's game over.
You have a variety of control schemes available in the game, but tapping on the enemies is by far the easiest especially as you go up in levels and enemies start coming in droves. Random weapon powerups will appear and you just need to tap on them to make use of them. You will also likely develop your own preferences for certain guns and there will be an element of strategy on whether to collect a powerup or not versus running out of ammo for your current powerup.
Alien Escape has local and global leaderboards and Facebook integration as well so there is plenty of competitive incentive.
Overall, I really liked the simple gameplay combined with the "arcade" feel of the game. Lots of powerups and hordes of enemies make for a fun and frenetic experience. The only other thing I would wish for is a way to earn back lost lives.

Aliens trying to escape!
Nice game! It's quite good.
It is Simple, Easy, Fun, and leaves you with that one more time, I know that I can get further feeling.
Also, there us a survival mode!
The controls are awesome, the game even gives you the option if two different controls at the same time!
You can either use direct touch to aim and shoot, or you can use the onscreen controls to aim and shoot!
There are lots of enemies and some cool weapons for you to us on them. There are a variety of weapons, each with it's own unique quality!
You just have to shoot the incoming enemies to keep them away from you.
If they get to close three times, then it's game over!
Definitely a game for any and everybody.

Great pick up and play game.
Very simple to play and very addictive. Great controls. Very Very easy to pick up and play.
Very difficult to put down as you constantly want to go higher and see where the spaceship will take you.
Like the different and wide assortment of weapons and back guys. Facebook integration is the icing on the cake.
Great game Devs !!!!!!

Relaxing Alien Blastin'
In most sci-fi or alien themed games , you usually have to blast those nefarious aliens! However this game takes an entirely new approach, you control the alien characters along with their arsenal of super high tech weaponry! The story follows a father alien who is stranded on planet earth with her nursery of 3 baby aliens. They are ambushed by hordes of wacky scientists, hunters and agents, who are attempting to capture an alien specimens. Similarly like a tower defense concept, you take on the role of the mother alien in the middle of a lush environment attempting to ward off attacks from all directions with your weapon. Different powerups which fall on the screen provide you with access to different weapons. A unique innovative approach on tower defence genres.
This game is easy to control as you can simply just touch anywhere to aim! Don't worry if this game is too easy as you can always configure the difficulty in the settings menu
A tremondously humorus concept to embrace, as this game provides awesome cartoony graphics with vibrant colours ablaze. The game features a story mode and an endless mode so you can keep on blasting to your heart's content! Facebook integration is also an intuitive feature which allows you to share your scores among your friends and compete!
This game is definitely worth the purchase price as it's a revolutionary new tower defense game that is very addictive. In future updates, I would suggest that this game should perhaps incorparate openfient, apply more customization (design of aliens), feature a variety of wacky weapons and of course boss characters!
My rating
8.7/10
Superb, that should be said!

Hello Nebula Soft!
I've spent a lot of time with Alien Escape this morning and have already developed some straight forward ideas on the game.
Good:
1. Story premise is interesting enough, could use some type of introduction before gameplay for new players.
2. Easy weapon upgrades are excellent!
3. Environment stage changes were a great idea.
4. Controls are responsive.
Bad:
1. If I was a regular customer on the app store I couldn't justify paying more than .99 for what is in the game currently.
2. Could use more weapons, or a stacked effect on current weapons for bigger damage - such as if you already had rockets and tapped rockets again, you would get a bigger explosion out of them.
3. The different environments are a great idea, most of the sky and space ones were extremely bland.
4. The controls do work well, but better for people with very very tiny fingers. I found the slider bar sticking a lot to one side due to it being so small.
5. My greatest gripe, and probably the one that would make me play this a few times and then probably delete it is the sound and sound options. The human fx is the worst sound in the game and the one played the most. It's difficult to enjoy over and over again. Also the music in the game isn't that great to listen to either.
I decided I could live with the human fx if I could turn the music off and have my ipod music play-through the game by loading the ipod then loading Alien Escape. When I loaded Alien Escape it killed my ipod playing in the background which wasn't fun because I can zone out playing certain games if I can at least listen to my own music. Either way I feel the sound and sound options should be looked at from a player's perspective.

Great game!
In this cool mix of 3 of my favorite genres/games, Alien Hominid, Space Invaders, and any TD game (Bloons TD, The Creeps!, Space Frontier, Setinel, etc.), you play as an alien trying to escape (hence the title). You shoot down enemies as they come. Currently the only fault I see is that, regardless of if you use FB, P+, Openfeint, Scoreloop, Agon, ect., a really fantastic game has achievements so there's something to work at! There are two modes, survival and regular!
This game is like Battle Bears on steroids! It even has waves! Buy it, you won't be disappointed!

Great overall game
Firso of all, the graphics on this game are spot-on and fit very nicely to the gameplay. Also, I llike how the background changes as you go from different levels. The sound in this game is also great and helps enhance the experience. The overall gameplay in Alien Escape is really good also. It is great how there are different types of enemies each with their own skills like stregth and speed. The weapon is great too. By picking up powerups, your weapon changes so you can experience a lot of diffrent weapon types
One suggestion that I had is to implement some kind of upgradeable weapon system where you can by new attatchments and other things.

Pretty good
The graphics and gameplay are pretty good, can't wait for an update with more weapon power ups.
Takes Time Getting Used To
Very fun game! It took a few tries to get used to the fire button size and placement. I kept thinking one tap would aim and shoot at the same time.
Definitely worth a buck, though, for some quick fun.

Great...
Fun game with great graphics and very cool sound effects. Control is extremely simple and works well. You either tap the screen to aim or you use a thumb slider to aim, then one button to fire. The game gets tough fairly quick, so you'll need to be super quick on the controls to advance. This keeps the game interesting. Definately a keeper worth the price...
