Alien GBC Project
Story
You are the last of the sleeper crew—awoken not by protocol, but by desperation.
After years in stasis, Old Joe brings you back online. The station is failing, the crew is gone, and you’re the only one left to put things right. Designed for emergencies, trained for survival—you weren’t meant to wake up. Not like this.
=======================================
Demo mission
An old outpost. Buried secrets. And something that doesn’t want you to leave.
Navigate the depths of a forgotten installation in this atmospheric sci-fi survival game for Game Boy. Endure the mission, reach the control room, and meet Old Joe—a synthetic who's been waiting... too long.

This reminds me. There officially was an Alien game for Game Boy Color called Thanatos Encounter. Did you ever play that?
I did, it was not to bad, but the controls where a bit frustrating
My favorite Alien game is Alien Resurrection for the PlayStation
Love it! Great use of the limited GBC color and tense gameplay. I love Alien themed games, I once created an FPS fan game based on Alien for the Nintendo DS.
thanks so much :) any chance I could see this DS game you made
Update: fixed some things and added the intro cut scene
This game's great! It's surprisingly full featured for a "demo". I've played as far as finding the level 3 hacking tool (but the xenomorph got me). How are you thinking about expanding it?
Update: I just played through the whole demo. It's really fun! I found a bug where you can't enter the locker near the hacking tool. It would also be nice if there was an autosave of some kind after finding major items. It was a bit of a bummer starting from the beginning whenever you died.
Ah thanks for the update and bug report!
There is alot more i want to add. Got more levels and mini games id like to add.
I really like this game. Thank you for removing that locker, I died a few times trying to enter it when it was there before. I just put it on a flash cart and tried it with a GBC, GBA, and a Chromatic. It ran great on all three!
I found a weird bug. I had this happen in a couple of places, but I found a way to consistently replicate it. After passing the command room and going down the ladder, continue down the next ladder, wait in front of the ladder for the xenomorph, at the last moment go back up the ladder, when you go back down the ladder you won't hear or see the xenomorph but you will die regardless. I had this happen in the previous version too. This is using the 1.2 version.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I really apricate you playing on ordinal hardware that for me is the best way to play and it took me a while to get the frame rate stable on these consoles. The bug report is spot on I managed to repo it and I have added it to my bug list. I hope to make an update in the future. Again thank! I'm really chuffed you are enjoying the game so far :)
