Alien Adventure

Was $? -> Now Free

graphics 4/5
fun 5/5
playability 5/5
overall: 5/5

pros: Great upgrade mechanic
cons: Most of the game is spent doing nothing

I should have posted the review for this game a long time ago - but I can't stop playing it! It seems to be a kids game, but the upgrade mechanic in it is sooooooooo good that I just want to keep playing.

The premise of the game is so simple - you are an alien that (for some reason) wants to travel to other planets. To travel to other planets he needs a blue thingy (for some reason). In order to buy the next-level blue thingy he needs to earn bukz (for some reason). In order to earn bukz he needs to catapult himself over a great distance (for some reason). OK - I agree its a weak premise & to be honest, most of your time playing this game will be spent watching your alien fly and bounce through the air - so much so that if you don't tap the screen your screen will turn off!

But this doesn't ruin the game in the least - the graphics, the sound, and the constant ability to be buying slightly better upgrades to hurl yourself that little bit further provide for a very fun game.

I will keep this one.
