**Aliens!** is a casual mode in Tom and Jerry: Chase.

## Info

A mode consists of 10 players, 4 players is required to start a game. Both cats and mice can be in one of two teams, earthlings and aliens. The earthlings must complete several missions while trying to figure out the identity of the aliens, while the aliens must act innocent and fool the earthlings so that they can knock them out. The earthlings can report knocked out teammates or call emergency meetings if they notice anything suspicious, while the aliens can use the passageways, open and close doors and cause trouble (which the earthlings have to fix), such as setting off firework crates and turning off the lights in the attic.

Once someone has been found knocked out or an emergency meeting is called, players can have a discussion before voting on who to dispatch. Players can also abstain if they can't come to a decision. The player with the most votes will be dispatched. If too many players abstain or there is a draw, then no one will be dispatched. The earthlings win when all aliens are dispatched or all missions have been completed. The aliens win when all earthlings have been knocked out.

There are five special roles for earthlings and aliens which they have unique abilities and skills.
