Find the Alien
How does the augmented reality feature work in Find the Alien?
The app uses your phone camera to project aliens into your real environment, like hiding behind a coffee mug on your desk. It's a neat gimmick for a couple of minutes, but the novelty wears off quickly.
Is there a multiplayer mode in Find the Alien?
Yes, there's a multiplayer mode where you can race friends to find aliens, but it requires your friends to also download the app. If they aren't interested, the feature is essentially unusable.
Why does Find the Alien keep crashing and resetting my progress?
The game has known stability issues that can cause crashes, and when it crashes, it may reset you back to level one. The developer acknowledges the problem but hasn't provided a fix yet, so save your progress manually if possible.
How can I reduce the battery drain and annoying ads in Find the Alien?
Battery drain is heavy—dropping from 80% to 40% in about 35 minutes—so limit play sessions or lower screen brightness. To avoid ads, which appear every few levels and sometimes trick you into tapping them, you can play offline or consider in-app purchases to remove them.
How does Find the Alien compare to other hidden object or spot-the-difference apps?
Unlike traditional spot-the-difference apps, Find the Alien adds AR and multiplayer features, but the core gameplay gets repetitive quickly. It's free with ads, while many competitors offer more content or better stability, making it a weaker choice for long-term play.
