Mansion Run is a simple "endless runner" in which you play as a dapper skeleton named Bones Wellington, who must flee from a gang of ghosts while dodging haunted furniture and collecting the bones that are lying around his mansion. It'll put your reflexes to the test, but aside from a steady increase in obstacles and speed, what you see in the first 30 seconds of play is quite literally what - and all - you get.
I may not be able to prove or disprove the existence of aliens, but there's one thing I can say with certainty: Destroying them in video games is a lot of fun. So much so, in fact, that Space Invaders led to a shortage of 100-yen coins at the height of its popularity. While I don't see another video game pulling that off again, there's at least a pretty solid chance Invader Eliminator will leave a lot of retro gamers -- and others -- excited about taking out aliens again.
