If you’re playing as RUNT, you’ll have these cool WEAPON AMMOS to use:
These are unlimited and the only weapons that
Runt can upgrade.
These cause a small-scale EMP explosion upon contact.
They are most useful for mechanical targeting systems.
This concentrated pulse of pure light can fi re at large
laser particles and does major damage.
These concentrated rings of
light can hit two or
three targets at once.
If you’re playing as ACE, you’ll have these cool WEAPON AMMOS to use:
This small green energy cell is ACE’s main ammo and is
unlimited. This is the only ammo that can be upgraded.
This shotgun energy blast is ACE’s most
commonly available ammo. It fi res
wide but at close range only.
This cone expands and shoots sonic particles at high velocity.
It’s more powerful than the Regular Blaster and it travels
and fi res quicker so it hits more enemies at the same time.
This combination of super-heated plasma balls fi res
at subsonic velocity. It creates an explosion but
it’s slow-moving and lacks range.

POWER-SHOT MODE is entered by holding the R BUTTON. Then, using
the A, B, X, or Y BUTTONS, drag the targeting reticule over them to
lock-on or “paint” them. Release the R BUTTON to fi re a devastating

RUNT can use his POWER-SHOT whenever he wants to cut a swath
through multiple enemies, and it only costs him shield energy!
GRENADE MODE is entered by holding the R BUTTON.
Throw grenades by tapping the A, B, X, or Y BUTTONS
while holding down the R BUTTON.
ACE can use GRENADES whenever he feels like it!
He can also collect them and hold up to 8 grenades at a time.
If you’re playing as ABBY, you’ll have these cool WEAPON AMMOS to use:
These are classic, straight-fi ring missiles
with unlimited ammo.
These thermally-guided missiles follow
their target wherever they go.
These eight rockets fi re at once but go in eight
different directions.
These are the only weapons ABBY uses
that can strike at ground targets. In fact,
they only fi re at ground targets.

Look for these PICKUPS:
• Powerups – these are derived from destroyed enemies and structures and covers
and you collect them by coming into contact with them. Once the Powerup is collected,

can use as many as you can collect at once.

There are fi ve MULTIPLAYER LEVELS
and these are categorized by the planet
on which they’re based.
• VENUS
• EUROPA
• IO
• ASTEROID BELTWAY
• POKE STAR
Trigger any POWERUP by tapping on it
and activating it with the L BUTTON.
This is an ALIEN COLLECTION game. You’re in an arena with a set amount of holes and
aliens that trickle onto the screen. To win, you must place a larger number of aliens into
the holes than your opponent.
• In MULTIPLAYER GAMES, game play shows on the BOTTOM SCREEN.
POWERUPS occur in MULTIPLAYER games but watch out!
They’re both positive and negative! Use yours to hinder your opponent!
• Change the alien’s direction by tapping on it and dragging the STYLUS in the
desired direction.
Be careful! If an alien leaves your screen before you can redirect
it into a hole, it will pop up on the opponent’s screen!
The objective of a multiplayer game is to guide Aliens to collection points on the TOUCH
SCREEN before time runs out. You can guide Aliens by tapping them with the STYLUS
and dragging them in a desired direction. As the games progress, barriers make it more
diffi cult to move the Aliens to the collection points. Each level features a unique barrier
confi guration. The player who has collected the most Aliens when time runs out wins!
