Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
Play as an alien whose spacecraft has been seized by government agents. Fight through a side-scrolling campaign to take on the agency and reclaim your ship.
Run, jump, and dodge enemy attacks while firing your blaster and throwing grenades. You can also grab agents, attack at close range, bite enemies, and dig underground.
Play alone or in two-player local co-op, choosing from three difficulty settings with different lives and shield rules. The game also includes mini-games, a Challenge Mode, achievements, and difficulty-based leaderboards.
Players often praise the game as a nostalgic classic, citing its run-and-gun action, distinctive cartoon style, and humor. Some enjoy the demanding challenge and playing with a friend, while others find the difficulty frustrating or the campaign too short.
