Alien Hallway



There's a hallway, and there are aliens in it.

Alien Hallway is a strategy game developed by Sigma Team (the makers of the Alien Shooter games). Your task is to command a squad of Space Marines to fight to the other end of the hallway--which is, of course, filled with aliens--and destroy the aliens' base before they can do the same to you.

 * Excuse Plot: The plot, in a nutshell, is "Aliens are bad. Shoot them."
 * Fire-Breathing Weapon: Your basic Flamethrower unit.

 * Secondary Fire: The flamethrower, shotgun, machine gun, and laser gun units can all throw grenades as well; a grenade icon pops over their head when it's available. A variant of the trope, in that the regular attack is automated, and only the secondary fire has to be manually activated.
 * Space Marines
 * Suicidal Overconfidence: The AI's job is to advance toward you at all costs, even if they're hopelessly outgunned.
 * Suicide Attack: One variety of Mook is an alien with a bomb who runs toward your guys and blows himself up.
