Fans of top-down shooter games will probably enjoy this as it’s a more light-hearted take on the genre which usually features futuristic spaceships or other military style vehicles. In Alien Rescue, everything is more geared around 1947 and what they would look like. Plus there are big headed aliens you get to rescue using a tractor beam so you can really nerd out. Alien Rescue is available free on the Android Market. You can check the game out in action in the video below.
