Play Alien Sector Online

Alien Sector (or Baraduke, depending on where you find it) is this weirdly charming arcade shooter where you play as a space explorer—either Kissy or Takky—bouncing around in low gravity with a jetpack. The whole thing feels floaty in a good way, like you're barely in control but somehow making it work. Your mission? Investigate Planet Paccet, which used to be peaceful until these little alien dudes called Octy took over.

Each of the eight stages has six floors—five regular ones and a boss fight at the end. The first four floors are all about clearing out Octy before escaping through these chutes on the edges. The fifth floor is where things get interesting: no enemies, just a bunch of capsules hiding surprises. Some give you points, others upgrade your gun, and then there’s the Bagan, which looks like Pac-Man’s angry cousin and will absolutely ruin your day if you open the wrong capsule.

It’s got that classic arcade vibe where the mechanics are simple but the execution keeps you hooked. The jetpack takes some getting used to, but once it clicks, zipping around while blasting aliens feels oddly satisfying.
