Gameplay
Alien Girl puts the player in control of Aliana on a mission to destroy the Alien Queen.
Move Aliana around the environment, pressing the fire button to shoot in the direction she is facing. Shoot alien Xenoforms twice to eliminate them.
If Aliana is touched by a Xenoform, she will lose life points, flashing briefly. While flashing, Aliana is invulnerable, and Xenoforms on the current screen will stop moving.
Pickups
Various pickups can be found throughout the screens in Alien Girl. Move Aliana over a pickup to retrieve it. Aliana can find ammo, health and grenade pickups.
Certain blocks in the environment can be moved by Aliana. If there is nothing blocking the object in the direction it is being moved, walk into a moveable block to push it in the direction Aliana is facing.
Doors
There are several types of doors in Alien Girl. Some doors require the player to interact with a terminal, or find a keycard to open them. Look for the connected terminal in the level to open a door, or find a key to open key-locked doors.
Some doors can be shot open by Aliana - shoot these doors continually until they disappear.
Lives
Aliana begins the game with 5 life points. More life points can be gained by walking over health pickups.
