The game could be best described as alien survival game. The games draws inspiration from the first Alien movie, FTL and 90’ies game Space Hulk. You play as the alien spawn and try to breed (as that is what aliens aspire to do, right?). Unfortunately for the spaceship crew, this involves taking captures and defending the nest and territory. There will be some casualties for the AI controlled hu-mans, but that should not become as surprise to them – after all, all these dangers are listed in fine print on your contract with the megacorp, remember?

The game happens on a Nostromoesque spaceship that fits on a screen. The player starts as a alien spawn born out of a first hu-man casualty (hopefully in the series on many). First you have to run and hide until you have grown enough. Then you can try to take an human captive to be used as a host. At this time the humans will probably find out there is something fishy going on from all that blood, so beware those weapons. Dragging the unwilling host of your offspring behind you, you should find a warm spot in the spaceship to build a nest and start to reproduce. Nesting means you can no longer move, but fortunately you now have alien soldiers and alien drones at your disposal. It is time to be the insectoid mastermind that takes control of the spaceship before the hu-mans destroy your nest or initiate the self-destruct mechanism.

Windows only for now, but the Jypeli-library supports monogame, so Linux and Mac binaries may be made available later. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I managed to compile MonoGame based Linux binaries for the game. Download them with the link above. You need mono to run the "ftl.exe" file. On ubuntu it can be installed using apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get install mono-complete
$ cd /home/user/the/folder/you/extracted/the/zip
$ mono FasterThanAlien.exe
