Tiny Alien Terror

Tiny Alien Terror (TAT) is a 2D side-scrolling platformer where you control the parasitic alien Nui from Planet Yate. After your spaceship runs out of fuel, you are forced to land on an unfamiliar planet. To power the ship again, you must harvest energy from the planet’s lifeforms. Consume creatures, gather their energy, and use it to recharge your spaceship so you can escape the planet.

(Created during the Game Jam GDW Trier 2026.)

How to Play:

Explore dark cave systems while avoiding larger predators during your early, vulnerable stage. Collect energy from plants and smaller creatures by pressing E (keyboard) or A (gamepad). As you absorb energy, Nui grows stronger, allowing you to overcome obstacles and eventually consume larger threats. Return to your crashed ship to transfer the collected energy and refill its tank. Fill the tank completely to power the ship and escape the planet.

Controls:

• Move: A / D (Keyboard) or D-Pad Left / Right (Gamepad)
• Jump: Space (Keyboard) or B (Gamepad)
• Consume / Collect Energy: E (Keyboard) or A (Gamepad)
• Refill Ship (at the spaceship): E (Keyboard) or A (Gamepad)
