Alien Breed Next — Playable Prototype
Tight corridors. Hostile aliens. Four sections between you and escape.
Explore an infested space station in this unofficial, fan-made top-down shooter for the ZX Spectrum Next, inspired by Alien Breed. Find access keys, unlock bulkheads and fight your way from Docking through Maintenance and Reactor to Escape.
Keep an eye on your supplies: health and ammunition carry between sections, and the final exit is your way out.

– One playable level across four connected 768×768 map sections.
– 320×256 Layer 2 graphics with scrolling in both directions.

– A larger docking bay with a 192×144 shuttle, consoles, recessed vents, machinery and cable runs.

Latest visual update
Floor seams now line up across decorative tiles, wall shading wraps around inside and outside corners, and ventilation grilles have recessed frames. The shuttle is three times wider and taller, with an expanded hangar and a clear route around it. Scattered decorative arrows have been removed. The ship now rests above a closed split docking hatch with guide rails and warning stripes. Wall edging remains continuous beside equipment, and the hangar console has more clearance. The docking hatch is scenery, not an animated mechanism.
