The game is a modern Platformer
with disgustingly cute aliens. The two aliens escape from a prison together and form a friendship centering on the one alien helping the other alien eat everything on the planet. While the characters, the animation style and the style of mayhem might seem a bit childish I can assure you its highly entertaining and very unpredictable.

Not a single word is spoken throughout the game yet there is plenty of story. Emotions are conveyed through the style of animation quite well and I couldn’t help but like the characters. The graphics are cartoony but really well done and the music is fantastic and helps keep the mood. Overall very well worth the $8.99 I spent for it and I’ll probably pick up the $4 – 6 worth of optional content available in the coming weeks.

Twisted Pixel Games, the indie publisher who made the game, has posted a decent trailer on Youtube:
