Name your own Martian chaos in Mars Attracts Alpha Test this November!

If you love theme parks and alien invasions, buckle up—because Mars Attracts is dropping an irresistible blend of management sim and sci-fi mania into your lap this November. Set in the unmistakable world of Mars Attacks™, the game invites fans to use their creativity and strategy in a wild park management adventure. And guess what? You don’t have to wait long to get a taste. The developers have announced a limited Alpha test, kicking off in November 2024.

The Alpha test is open to anyone willing to sign up via www.MarsAttracts.com. If you’re itching for a chance to build a futuristic amusement park while defending it from Martian havoc (yes, there will be ray guns and panicked guests), this is your shot. Since it’s an early Alpha test, the dev team is looking for valuable feedback to help fine-tune the game and figure out what works and what needs polishing before its full release. So, not only do you get to play early, but your insights could actually shape the final product. How cool is that?

What makes Mars Attracts stand out is its unique twist on the sim genre. Instead of the usual crowd of roller coasters and ferris wheels, you’ll be tasked with balancing entertaining your human visitors while preparing for and managing full-scale Martian invasions. The gameplay essentially asks: “Can you keep both guests and aliens happy… or at least alive?”

Actual Martian Invasions? Tell Me More!

Yes, you heard that right. In classic Mars Attacks™ fashion, expect things to get chaotic fast. One moment, you’re dealing with long lines at the snack stands, and the next, Martians are zapping everything in sight. Players will have to outwit them using tech upgrades, security forces, and good ‘ol Earth-based ingenuity. The devs have hinted that while defense is important, over-preparing for invasions might come at the cost of underwhelming your guests. It sounds like a tightrope walk between two types of havoc. But hey, that’s precisely why we’re excited to see it in action!

Pro-Tip: A little hint from the devs? Keep an eye on morale: both your human guests and Martian visitors have their own temperaments. Ignoring either of them is a recipe for disaster (and possibly obliteration, if we’re being real). You’ll need to balance keeping the park profitable while staving off planetary chaos. No pressure!

How to Sign Up for the Alpha

Jumping into this chaotic world is simple. Just head over to www.MarsAttracts.com and sign up for their Alpha test. You might want to act fast—slots could fill up quickly, especially since this combines two fan-favorite genres: park management and zany sci-fi. Remember, this isn’t just a demo. Your feedback is crucial to the game’s evolution, meaning your voice matters here.

We’re buzzing to see how Mars Attracts shapes up. November’s Alpha test could be our first chance at building the galaxy’s most (in)famous amusement park. Just watch out for those Martians. They don’t exactly play by the rules.
