Alien Arsenal has landed in the stores for iOS and Android. Beam the latest update of season one to your mobile device.

Have An Earlier Version of Alien Arsenal?

If you’re one of our early Space Drop participants, and have already claimed your 8Bit Tokens and started training your first alien, there are a few things you’ll need to do to get the latest and greatest builds.

  1. Delete your old build
  2. Install latest from the mobile store
    Download from iTunes
    Get it on Google Play
  3. Login using the same login from the old version

That’s it! All your 8Bit Tokens and Aliens will be right where you left them. Thank goodness for the blockchain and wallets, right?!?!?! We’ve done our best to make Alien Arsenal’s blockchain features easy and accessible.

Build Your Arsenal

The portals have opened and now up to 5 aliens can join your arsenal. Choose who you want to join the battle and get them incubated on the blockchain and into your wallet.

Hopefully, you’ve had the opportunity to train your first alien and build up their skills because…

The Bosses Have Arrived!

The first bosses have jumped in and are starting their attack on the blockchain. It’s up to you and everyone else with an Alien Arsenal to stop them.

How Do I Defeat the Boss?

Attack them with your aliens! Simply select the boss and then select the alien you want to attack with. It’ll take a little bit of time to get the results from your alien on how their attack went, but that’s ok, it gives you time to queue up your next attack or get your new aliens trained and ready to go.

See how much damage your attacks do and and look for tactics to use in your future attacks to inflict the most damage possible. Be sure to join the Alien Arsenal Discord to share your discoveries and find out what other people in the community are doing.

Total Damage and Highest Critical Hit Leaderboards

How Do You Stack Up? Check the Leaderboards!

Your aliens are going all out to take down this boss but so are the alien’s of all the other arsenals out there. So, how do you compare? Warp over to the leaderboards to see. We track the individual who’s arsenal has done the total most damage overall, the single attack that has had the highest critical hit on the boss and who had the final, killing blow.

Behold! The 8Bit Token!

Space Drop Continues!

If you got in early, you maximized your 8Bit Tokens in the Space Drop. As a new player you can still get 5 8Bit Tokens. Use your invite code in game and for everyone of your friends who joins you’ll get an additional 2 8Bit Tokens. Start getting your friends into the fray and compare who’s got the best arsenal.

Open Up That Communicator

We are at the beginning of Season One (our test period) for Alien Arsenal, and during this Season we are still learning how the aliens get to the blockchain and their full capabilities. Your feedback and participation has been essential so far. We want you to be a part of the vision we have for the future, but that means we need to hear what you’re thinking and get your opinions. There are no spectators in life, we’re all part of the show. So open that portal into our Discord and tell us what you like, make suggestions, and let us know of any problems that you run into.

The Fine Print

Alien Arsenal is still in development, things to note:

  • 8Bit Tokens are in a wallet on the Ethereum main net
  • Aliens are on the Ethereum test net Ropsten until we have tested them further
  • Aliens max at level 5
  • 5 aliens in your arsenal, as of this build
  • Each time your alien levels and you select a new skill this skill is written to the blockchain making your alien more unique each time it advances
  • Aliens will be wiped when we migrate the alien contract to the main net
  • As an early adopter will we make sure you are awarded an alien on the main net with an identifier that indicates the status
