Brief outline of the game
Platformer/rogue-like. You are the survivor of a space shuttle crash, playing through a number of randomly generated levels in which you collect useful items and battle hordes of alien monsters, while trying to find a teleporter.
Content specific issues
The majority of characters in this platformer game are small and pixelated, including both humans and fantasy characters such as flying jelly-fish and stone giants. There is some shooting, but the emphasis is placed on collecting power-ups, meaning players can utilise a number of skills at one time (electricity, ice blocks, missiles), which makes the action very fast-paced and non-realistic. Enemies usually fall to the ground when they are killed, though they may disappear entirely.
