About Abduction Bit
Abduction Bit is a retro‑style arcade action title where you control an alien tasked with abducting humans. The game features four distinct stages—construction site, hotel, military base and laboratory—each requiring you to capture every human while avoiding traps.
The title includes local split‑screen co‑op for two players, selectable level packs (including free DLC), alien palette customization, a save‑state function, Steam achievements, Steam trading cards and partial controller support.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story premise
The narrative follows two aliens who must catch many humans for experiments. The four stages—construction, hotel, military base and laboratory—provide distinct backdrops for this abduction mission.
When a human is captured, the alien uses a sci‑fi gun that temporarily paralyses the target, erases their memory, strips them and teleports them to the UFO, reinforcing the alien‑abduction theme.
- Observe how each stage’s layout influences where humans appear.
- Remember the memory‑wipe is a story detail and does not affect gameplay.
02 / THE GUIDE
Core gameplay
Players move an alien across platforms, jumping and shooting a paralysis gun to capture humans without touching them. Completion of a stage requires abducting every human while avoiding dangerous traps.
The game is described as a retro style inspired by 80s arcade titles, offering simple controls with a high difficulty curve that demands precise timing and positioning.
- Practice timing jumps to stay clear of traps.
- Use the gun’s range to keep a safe distance from humans.

Level packs and DLC
Through the main menu, players can select various level packs, each providing a different arrangement of stages. The description notes that additional packs will be released in the future.
Future releases include free downloadable content in the form of additional level packs.
- Check the main menu for newly added free DLC packs.
- Try different packs to experience varied play styles.

Local co‑op play
The game supports shared/split‑screen local co‑op for two players, allowing each participant to control their own alien on the same screen.
Co‑op does not change the objective; both aliens work together to capture all humans in each stage, adding a collaborative element to the single‑player goal.
- Coordinate with your partner to cover different platform areas.
- Communicate trap locations to avoid simultaneous failures.
05 / THE GUIDE
Alien palette customization & save state
Players may customize the colour palette of their alien, providing a personal visual style while retaining the same abilities.
A save‑state feature lets players save and resume progress, offering convenience for longer sessions.
- Experiment with palette choices to suit your visual preference.
- Use save‑state before challenging trap sections.
