This is a very traditional 2D point'n'click adventure game. It includes lots
of funny Star Wars references. You play the role of a teenager called Benjamin
who's visiting his uncle's house at Halloween. His uncle, a home-grown scientist,
attempts to activate his latest invention, the wormhole spawner. Amazingly enough,
it works and rips open a wormhole to another galaxy, transporting an alien
spacecraft to Earth. The aliens kidnap your uncle and, surprisingly, your mission is
to rescue him (and the world, but you knew that already). It's a fun, unassuming
science fiction adventure that is great for young adventurers due to its
family-oriented plot and easy puzzles. It must have been developed with the
fledgling gamer in mind, and in that sense seems to be going in the right direction.
Along with its clever animation and interesting storyline, it reinforces to the new
or younger gamer the idea that fun, challenging gameplay doesn't have to include
violence. The tone of the game is well established very early and nicely maintained
throughout. There are the usual gathering and intelligent deployment of assorted
objects for puzzles. |
