The floor is falling apart, and you're standing on it. AlienFall.io is a real-time online multiplayer .io arena. Up to 70 aliens land on a platform of hexagon tiles floating in space. Every step wears the tiles down until they crack and drop into the void. Shove your rivals off the edge, dodge their attacks at the last second, and be the last one standing. HOW IT PLAYS • One tap and you're in a round. No account needed, and a short tutorial gets you started. • Move with the joystick, tap the right side of the screen to jump. • The floor crumbles as you fight: crowds break it even faster. • Grab items: Laser Gun, Grenade, Glue Launcher, Anvil, Boost and Double Jump. • Every attack shows a warning before it hits: read it, move, survive. • Take the crown: the king earns coins every few seconds… and the longer they reign, the bigger the bounty on their head. EVERY DAY • 3 daily quests, with a streak bonus of up to +100% when you keep completing them. • A login reward every day for 7 days, with the Aurora color on day 7. YOUR ALIEN, YOUR STYLE • 4 aliens: Stereopal, Globee, Triobore and Grigou, the exclusive alien of the VIP pass. • 17 colors, including animated ones: Plasma, Magma, Abyss, Aurora and Gold. • Accessories: black shades, neon shades, sweatband, hachimaki, ninja headband, pirate bandana, diving mask… and more on the way. • Weapon skins for your grenade, glue launcher and laser. • Earn coins by playing. Some accessories can also be unlocked by watching optional videos. VIP PASS AND COINS • The VIP pass is bought once, not a subscription: no more ads between games, Grigou the exclusive alien and the Gold color. • Coin packs are available in the shop's COINS tab. PLAY AGAINST THE WORLD • Servers in 9 regions: the game connects you to the closest one for a low ping. • Climb the Top of the Week leaderboard. • Rounds start right away: open seats are filled by bots. MADE FOR MOBILE • Smooth touch controls with a virtual joystick. Landscape recommended, portrait supported. • Fully adjustable layout: move and resize the buttons, separately for landscape and portrait. • Vibration alerts when an attack is coming. FAIR AND FREE • Free to play. Coins only buy cosmetics: aliens, colors, accessories and weapon skins. Never pay to win. • Rewarded videos are always optional. • Optional account to keep your progress across devices. A fast, chaotic and funny arena brawler for quick sessions. Can you keep your feet on the ground?
