Super Bowl Sunday. Halftime. The Lights Go Out Across America.
That's how it starts. An alien warlord called the Hive King shows up, cuts the power and does the one thing nobody saw coming: he takes the pros. The quarterbacks, the sluggers, the superstars. Gone, beamed up, locked away in a mothership.
Only three athletes are left on the planet. A washed-up boxer. A minor-league slugger. A weekend golfer. And they're from Staten Island.
Earth is in a lot of trouble.
Welcome to FantasyDailies Presents Athletes vs Aliens, our brand-new arcade game. It's in beta right now, you can play it today in your phone's browser at fantasydailies.com/aliens, and it's coming soon to Facebook, iPhone and Google Play. In the meantime, get the FantasyDailies app for iPhone or Android and play it from there.
Meet the Last Line of Defense
"Iron" Mark Jr. Mozzarella, The Boxer. Lightning combos up close. His special, the Uppercut, launches every alien around him into orbit. He hits the hardest and takes the most punishment, but you've got to get in their faces.
Tony "Moonshot" Vega, The Slugger. Big swings that crush a crowd and smack alien lasers right back where they came from. His special is exactly what you think it is: the Home Run.
Chip Callahan, The Golfer. He's not the toughest guy in the group, but he drives from long range and his shots explode. Hit the FORE! button and he fires at six aliens at once. Every golfer you know has been yelling "FORE!" for years. Finally it means something.
And then there's Zorbo. He's a little alien mechanic who got sick of his own side, stole the ship he built, and came looking for our three heroes. He flies you from state to state, patches you up and runs the supplement shop. More on that in a minute.
It Starts at Home: Staten Island
The stolen saucer drops you where it all started. Gloop the Glutton has parked himself on the old landfill and is eating the borough one pizzeria at a time. Your washed-up bar-league crew is waiting by the ferry. Free the neighborhoods from St. George to Tottenville, rebuild the Ferry, the Verrazzano and Snug Harbor, and run Gloop off the island.
Then it's on to Manhattan, where a monster called Tentaclops has wrapped himself around the Empire State Building. Then the Jersey Shore, where King Krabb crawled out of the surf, took the boardwalk and left nobody able to get a sausage-and-pepper sandwich. Then Philadelphia, where Spike cracked the Liberty Bell. Again. Philly fans already threw snowballs at him. It didn't help.
State by state, all the way to the final showdown with the Hive King in Washington, DC.
Three Ways to Play
Game Mode: the board. This is the heart of the game. Roll the dice and fly the stolen saucer around a diamond-shaped board. Every space does something: collect loot, free neighborhoods, rebuild landmarks and set up fights. Land on the wrong space and you get sucked into the tractor beam, and the only way out is to roll doubles. Land in Zorbo's repair bay and he hands you free dice. Pass the launch pad and collect your lap bonus. Rebuild a state's landmarks, beat its boss, and the saucer heads for the next one.
Story Mode: save America state by state. The full campaign with cutscenes, a villain in every stop and the whole story of how three nobodies became Earth's last hope.
Fight Mode: pure action. Pick a fight, pick your athlete and rack up coins. Aliens pour in from every direction, the boss clock counts down, and you'd better level up fast. Not great with your thumbs? Turn on Auto and your athlete fights for you. There's a pause button, too, for when the boss shows up and your phone rings at the same time.
Get knocked down and you get one Second Wind per state: get back up with most of your health and blast them back. After that, you're on your own.
Gainz Galactic: Nutrition for the War of the Worlds
Zorbo runs the supplement shop, and his sales pitch is perfect: "I left the mothership for the gains. Buy something, Earthling."
Your athlete starts on vitamins and works up through protein shakes, creatine and pre-workout to the serious stuff: Moon Juice, Alien DNA Serum (glowing veins included) and Zorbo's Secret Formula, which he swears is legal on his planet. The more you take, the bigger your athlete gets. Visibly bigger.
Then there's the gear. Gloves, bats and drivers go from the basics all the way up to Lava, Plasma and Cosmic versions that set aliens on fire, fire plasma and bend space. And yes, you can change uniforms, from Blackout to Stars & Stripes to Gold Legend.
The Crash Site: Grow Your Own Power-Ups
Every saucer you shoot down crashes somewhere. Zorbo poked at the wreckage and found out something strange: alien scrap buried in Earth soil grows. Into dice, parts, cards and coins.
So you farm it. Bury the scrap, wait for it to grow and harvest it on time, because little alien scavengers smell a ripe crop and will eat half of it if you're late. In a hurry? Pour on some Glow Slime and it grows faster. Zorbo's only warning: "Do NOT drink it. I am serious."
Rescue the Pros
Remember those pros the Hive King took at halftime? They're out there. Every state has a captured athlete waiting to be freed: The Enforcer is being held in Chicago, The Striker in Texas, and there are more. Until you free them, all you get is a silhouette and a question mark. Rescue them and they join your team as playable characters, each with a different style and range.
Come Back Every Day
Open the game every day for a daily gift, a spin of the wheel and a new set of missions: roll the dice, win a fight with a certain athlete, harvest crops at the Crash Site, rebuild a landmark. Finish them for coin bonuses. Check the Ranks to see where you stand, and bring your Friends along to see who saves more of America.
