Herd together and abduct humans by partying with them! Defeat enemy troopers by shooting them! You are an alien and your goal is to dance with humans for just long enough to abduct them into your space ship. But not everyone enjoys your hard-partying ways, such as the enemy troopers sent to destroy you. Herd and abduct humans while dodging enemies and fighting back! This is also a great game to play if you love the IDEA of dancing in public, but you lack the skills to do it in real life! Tips: - Humans will follow you around for a little while after you dance with them, even after you stop dancing! - The pads at the bottom of the screen are where you put your thumbs to control and move your party alien around - Check the symbol that appears above a dancing human to see how close they are to being abducted

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Party Alien at 5.0 against OverclockeTD's 4.5. Party Alien also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). OverclockeTD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 22 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
