First contact didn't go as planned, when aliens woke Murray Mendelson up from his afternoon nap. Pulling the trigger first has drawn Murray in to full scale war with these alien visitors, and they’ll stop at nothing to destroy him. Armed with his musket and inconsolable rage, Murray must defend his home against all odds. Why are the aliens only attacking this one house? Who knows?! Shoot first and…




- Simple, fun, and addictive gameplay reminiscent of classic arcade and tower defense games like Plants vs Zombies and Space Invaders.
- Free to play with enjoyable casual mechanics and charming graphics and sound that make it a good time-killer and stress-reliever.
- Offers a decent variety of weapons, upgrades, and achievements that engage players for short sessions, with a humorous and unique concept of defending a lawn from aliens.
- Gameplay becomes repetitive and grind-heavy quickly, especially with slow orb (in-game currency) accumulation and expensive upgrades.
- Strong presence of microtransactions and pay-to-win elements that pressure players to either spend real money or endure lengthy and tedious grinding to progress.
- Lack of cloud saving causes loss of progress and purchases when uninstalling or switching devices, along with limited features, poor optimization, and occasional bugs/crashes.

The game relies heavily on microtransactions to alleviate a tedious grind, often pushing players toward in-app purchases to progress, which many find intrusive and frustrating. While some appreciate that microtransactions are optional and offer convenience, others criticize their presence—especially in a free game—including an achievement requiring a purchase—leading to mixed feelings about the monetization approach. Overall, the freemium, mobile-style monetization is seen as a major drawback that can diminish the player experience.
“As someone who has played this game longer than anyone else, I can say that the $150 I spent on microtransactions was well worth it.”
“Fun, and the microtransactions are delightfully unobtrusive for one of the free games on Steam.”
“There's in-game purchases, but they're a) not needed to have the full experience and b) not shoved in your face every 2 minutes.”
“You need orbs for new weapons and upgrades and to buy power-ups that allow you to make progress, but you don't get enough orbs from playing and then the game starts asking for microtransactions to buy orbs.”
“A fun little time-waster that unfortunately wraps itself in blatant monetization; the game has a 'screw you' point where difficulty abruptly spikes to literally impossible odds without using the for-pay power-ups, or grinding through multiple lower-level runs just to earn enough 'orbs' to buy one.”
“Get off my lawn is a grindy, boring waste of time with some of the most tasteless freemium monetization I have ever seen.”
