“Alien Racers is an exciting, innovative and yes, addictive, racing game, in which you have to win at an endless sequence of mini-games in real-time to propel your Blobby racer forward. The faster you finish each mini-game, the sooner you will reach the finish line. Get there before your competitors, who are always on the move as well.

If you succeed at a mini-game you will move forward, but if you fail, you will take a step backward. The distance you move (1 to 3 metres) is determined by the difficulty of the mini-game, which is shown on the screen.

If you find a mini-game too hard, you can skip to the next game. The mini-games keep appearing until someone crosses the finish line, or the timer for the race runs out.

Each alien racer has a speed, where 1 is relatively slow, and 5 is fast. Like yourself, however, even fast racers may sometimes take a step backward, or jump on the spot, giving you a chance to win the race.

Sometimes, a giant magnet, a typhoon or an epic monster will appear, pushing racers forward or backward. On occasion, a shape shifting spell is cast by an unseen force, causing your fellow racers to transform into other aliens, so a slow alien may suddenly become a fast one, and vice versa–this is relatively uncommon, though.

Each of the five series features eight races, and the tracks are of varying distances. All eight races of Series A and B are available to play with a free download. With an in-app purchase (US$1.00), you will be able to unlock all races in all series.”
