RIP Alien Star Menace, Long Live Alien Star Menace

Sadly, our humble game has been removed from the Google Play Store, and with that it is no longer available on mobile.

Apple & Google *love* to update their app requirements every other week, and it’s a Task to stay on top of them, lest your app be removed. I’ve decided to forego the neverending maintenance that comes with mobile.

But fret not, ASM still lives: we have a PC version on itch.io. It’s totally free and content complete. If you need your Alien Star Menace fix, that’s the place to get it!

Hey Cutie is live on Kickstarter *right now*. Check it out here.

This is a dating sim for your tabletop. Professors crush on vampires, lumberjacks romance cyborgs, and magical girls mingle with nine-tailed fox goddesses. It’s a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek card game that I’d love for you to take a look at. 

The same developer who made Alien Star Menace also made this game - the only dating sim for your tabletop! I think it’s pretty legit, but I’m a little biased….

It’s a board game about building up a town in a video game RPG and selling resources to heroes who are passing through.

The game has a bunch of lovely pixel art made by some fantastic artists.

It’s a deep strategy game centered on resource management and outwitting your opponents, something I know Alien Star Menace fans will dig. It’s not quite out, but it’s in late-stage development and could use your support.

Go check it out!

20K Downloads!

Alien Star Menace has been seeing healthy downloads and ratings that are holding steady long after I thought they would. Whatever changed our download numbers seems to be long-lasting, and our ratings have only increased the more people get their hands on it!

What’s more, the Android version is overtaking the iOS version in downloads per day! Given how markedly the Android version used to be dwarfed by iOS (a factor of 10 to 1), it’s fun to watch this shift. 

So: welcome, new players! Hope you’re enjoying the game, and feel free to send questions or comments my way!

China has been climbing gradually for weeks now uninterrupted. The other countries come and go, but the Chinese seem to really be digging ASM these days.

That’s all. Just wanted to share some numbers before we do holiday festivities. Enjoy Alien Star Menace!
