This patch fixes a respawn bug in Alien Assault where players could, under certain circumstances, respawn during the Game Over screen.

Additionally, it includes a few minor UI tweaks.

This patch adjusts the requirements for a few achievements to make them less of a chore. Hopefully, more players can now unlock these without getting too bored.

Astro Impact:

• Red Rampage, Blue Breakthrough and Green Gain: Now you only need to reach wave 4 with each, down from 5.
  

Brick Smash:

• Night Sky Knight: Requirement changed to reach level 6, previously 8.
  

"Alien Assault" brings a fresh wave of nostalgia mixed with new challenges to the Arcade Classics collection. Choose your tank and take on waves of aliens with a variety of weapons and power-ups.

This addition also brings 9 new achievements, from leveling up your tank to having a large arsenal of missiles and shields, each achievement offers a unique challenge that rewards your gaming prowess.
