For the past week or so I’ve been previewing a new game app on my iphone called Alien Creeps.  It’s coming soon, however I couldn’t find an exact date yet.  Alien Creeps is a tower defense game and so far I’ve had a lot of fun playing it.  So here’s the rundown-
Basically you are the military and your job is to take back the bases that aliens have invaded.  You get one “hero” when you start playing.  Your hero earns gold coins for every alien he kills, you then use those coins for training and equipment upgrades.

The aliens come in waves that are timed or you can tap on the timer to have them come sooner.  You can also call in for two types of reinforcements: land troops or airstrike.  Land troops are 2 soldiers dropped off by a helicopter to wherever you tap on the screen.  These 2 soldiers fight aliens that cross their path.  Airstrike is a plane that flies by and drops bombs to the area you tap on killing aliens in that area.

You have a limited number of reinforcements (which I learned the hard way) you can buy more with gems.  The reinforcements also have a cool down time of 30 seconds or so before you can use them again.

So far this has been a fun game to play.  My only complaint would be that after a few levels I got to a point where I didn’t have enough coins to upgrade anything so I maxed out on all the things I was able to build on the level pretty quickly and then couldn’t do anything but watch the credits build that I couldn’t do anything with.  On top of that the aliens were higher levels so they were getting harder to kill.  This may have just been an issue with being a first time player and not knowing what to prioritize my coins for.

Here’s a trailer of the game to give you a glimpse of what I’m talking about-

Here’s a little official info:

• Boss fights featuring menacing, vicious enemies
• Three different game modes to test your skills
• Fifty mighty towers to strategically build, place, and upgrade
• Three unique and powerful Hero characters to employ to aid in your defense
• Powerful reinforcements and airstrikes to share with your friends
