Our take on HEIANKYO ALIEN / 平安京エイリアン
The defining structure is the five-minute 3671 score attack: lives are unlimited until time expires, while buried items can add up to 90 seconds and alter scoring.
What is HEIANKYO ALIEN / 平安京エイリアン?
This Windows compilation contains the original arcade version of Heiankyo Alien, Heiankyo Alien 3671, Glitch Encore Alien, and an Idle version created with Guildoll.
In 3671, players have unlimited lives during a five-minute score attack. Buried items can extend the timer by up to 90 seconds, while defeating aliens grants items with gameplay benefits. A hidden diamond doubles the score, and collecting all buried items awards a bonus. Glitch Encore Alien retains a scoring bug from an earlier computer version. The Idle version uses level goals, character-specific scenarios, missions, and different gameplay arrangements. The compilation also includes music from Wing☆ and Ibojima.
