Alien Crush is an alien-themed video pinball game. The graphics feature strong similarities to the art from the Alien movies, and everything has a dark and sinister look.
The main table has numerous moving targets and ball locks and is two screens high. There are at least three bonus games that are accessible from the top screen. Bonus games consist of knocking out moving targets on a separate single-screen bonus table.
Gameplay involves using flippers to guide the ball through the playing field, with the aim of scoring points by hitting specific targets and avoiding obstacles. Players must also navigate through the alien-themed playfield, collecting power-ups and avoiding aliens that try to intercept them.
