    This is a nice little point and click game where you have to clear the path for a little alien baby. It really is incredibly short. It took me 15 minutes and I think it would have taken even less time if I'd been able to click on some of the areas more easily. It's also quite dark which is a shame because the graphics are rather nice.

    Short, easy, pretty. Good for relaxing. Kids might be able to play, but may need some guidance due to the abstract nature of the game. Without a clear stated goal at the beginning you really don't know what's going on or what to do or even how to progress. For a short, straightforward game like this that's okay. Be curious. Click around. See what happens.

    You click things, watch an alien baby crawl around in the dark, and click things until the game says it's done. There's not really much to this game. Looking to pass a few minutes? Sure play this game. It's free, why not? Want a game with even the slightest bit of substance? Move along, this feels incomplete.
