Heiankyo Alien

About

Heiankyo Alien casts you as a medieval cop battling space invaders with a shovel. Your job is to dig traps in the dirt, lure aliens into them, and quickly refill the holes before they slither out. Scoring depends on how fast you react, the quicker you act, the more points you rack up. As levels progress, hordes pour in faster, and even if one gets buried, another might pass over and yank it free. Touch an alien and you’re out. Time ticks down, raising the stakes with each second, turning the city into a chaotic digging gauntlet. The game’s charm lies in its weird historical-sci-fi mashup and tight, twitch-based gameplay. Players appreciate the simple yet deceptively tricky mechanics that balance timing and strategy. With support for single and multiplayer, it offers a frantic test of reflexes that’s easy to grasp but tough to master. Despite its age, its addictive loop of trap-and-evade keeps it fresh for fans of old-school arcade puzzlers.
