Zalien The Alien
Zalien is a friendly alien visiting Earth. He's a bit absent-minded and keeps forgetting his bubble bursts when it touches the ground. You must help him return to his flying saucer by using your keyboard to fire spinning stars at its lights. These stars rise toward the ship, hitting objects that fly by for extra points. If you hit a light, a trap door opens and a plug drops down to cap the volcano directly beneath the light that's you just hit. After capping all four volcanos, you hit the central light. And Zalien's friends send him another balloon and he exits the level. Can be updated over the Internet.
