About the game
In Alien 51: The Elevator, you will become the coordinators of a team of workers and compete to be the fastest to take them to their jobs. This will not be an easy task since the elevator of these offices does not work too well, which will turn a daily routine into an epic feat. Alien 51: The Elevator has 3 different game modes. The Competitive Mode (2 to 4 players) is modulated in difficulty and takes place during the chaotic time of entry to the office. In it, players will compete to be the first to place their workers in their jobs. The Cooperative (2 to 4 players) and Solitaire (1 player) modes pass during the office's closing time and both share a common goal: to remove all workers from the building before the boss meets the strict closing time and leave them trapped inside. En Alien 51: El Ascensor, os convertiréis en los coordinadores de un equipo de trabajadores y competiréis para ser el más rápido en llevarlos a sus puestos de trabajo. Esto no será tarea fácil ya que el ascensor de estas oficinas no funciona demasiado bien, lo que convertirá una rutina diaria en una hazaña épica. Alien 51: El Ascensor presenta 3 modos de juego diferentes. El Modo Competitivo (2 a 4 jugadores) es modulable en dificultad y transcurre durante la caótica hora de entrada a la oficina. En él, los jugadores competirán para ser el primero en colocar a sus trabajadores en sus puestos de trabajo. Los Modos Cooperativo (2 a 4 jugadores) y Solitario (1 jugador) transcurren durante la hora de cierre de la oficina y ambos comparten un objetivo común: sacar del edificio a todos los trabajadores antes de que el jefe cumpla con la estricta hora de cierre y los deje atrapados en su interior.
