I was enjoying this game, in spite of its kind of low budget, jank feel, until I got to the third level, which required having just one, helpless unit sneak around without getting caught. It was awful. Just annoying and not fun at all. After trying to power through for somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes, I decided enough was enough. Probably won't play the game any more.

Description
Attack of the Earthlings combines turn-based combat and stealth in a dark comedic single player campaign, where you the player, take control of the native alien race to defend your home world from the invading humans.

Galactoil, a comically dysfunctional energy corporation, are hell-bent on harvesting the known universe for energy and will drill anything in its incessant quest to line its pockets with profit. However, their latest foray into energy exploration on Planet X13, has placed them into a bit of a pickle. The Swarmers, the native insectoid species, have another idea - to eat all the workers!

You take control of the Swarmers, a highly aggressive insectoid species, who must convert human flesh into alien muscle, upgrade their units and even find the time to gatecrash a birthday party.
To put a stop to the invasion, the Swarmers must plan attacks carefully. Take control of unsuspecting workers, set traps, emerge from vents and hiding spots to take your human prey by surprise, and assault in groups to kill multiple enemies at once.

The more earthlings killed, the more corpses can be consumed and transformed into new units with specialized roles and unique abilities. The flesh of their own workers is the key ingredient to developing a successful alien insurgency against Galactoil.
Voice actor and Vine extraordinaire, SungWon Cho A.K.A ProZD (A Hat in Time, Paradigm)[/b], lends his brilliant voice to X13 mining operation Regional Manager Dennis Dickinham; a man both massively unqualified and massively overpaid. A gregarious fellow who finds joy in everything, be it catching a few rounds of golf with the boys or rerouting power from sickbay to the massage chairs in the boardroom, Dickinham's a delight to be around! Just never, NEVER utter the phrase "bad idea" in his presence.
The game also features an original soundtrack by composer Mikolai Stroinski (Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Blood & Wine).

User reviews
Just a silly little game. It's pretty easy, don't expect much from it, but it's fun for what it is.
A very fun & cute game. Took me about 7.7 hours to beat, and I had a lot of fun doing it. A couple missions got frustrating due to a lack of a quick save/quick load feature. Which the game BADLY needs. But despite that each mission has fun little combat puzzles to figure out and work through. Nothing was too complex and after a few reloads here and there you can usually get your way through nearly every level. One
