3 out of 5 stars Fun, but it was too short.   November 25, 2008

It's a fun game where you have to use various contraptions to clear the aliens and rescue the humans from each level.

You play through 55 levels using what items are provided on each level. After that you play through 50 levels where you can draw in lines and portals to influence where things move/roll to.

It was great fun, but was easy to beat in less than a day.



2 out of 5 stars Great concept, too short for the price!   November 4, 2008

I absolutely have loved any game that follows this pattern. The Incredible Machine (and Even More!) were absolutely wonderful games back in the day. I bought this thinking it was along the same lines.

I found the gameplay to be great. A little copycat, and a little unimaginative with the pieces and the levels, however. Some of the levels were just plain too obvious.

The second mode, which is sort-of a free-form draw mode was pretty good, though the (also copycatted) portals are a little buggy and kind of annoying.

Finally, the game sports only 55 regular levels and 50 freeform ones. I averaged a little over a minute on each one (the game times you). Thats less than 2.5 hours of game play folks. Just not worth $30. I think you'll be disappointed.
