Reminiscent of old 2D side-scrollers, this game did not interest me at all since I was more attuned to games that had higher graphics and a 3D world. But speaking from a neutral perspective, I could see where the game drew people in. Like the old games of yore, this game represented the best of 2D side scrollers; a buff, blonde American in a dead-end job as a janitor waking up in a world infested with aliens crawling out of the sewers. He is then given the task of fighting an infinite horde of aliens that pops out of the sewers and bathroom stalls with his poorly animated karate jabs and kicks.

This game was quite simple to play, with only the W,A,S,D buttons to move, jump and duck. The only other two buttons were J and K, used for punching and kicking respectively. With an ingame engine that continued to generate levels as you progressed through the game, there was no way to actually finish the game by my count. I was at the 1337th level before I gave up out of frustration at the hours I put into the level only to be overwhelmed by a screenful of green aliens with supernatural powers. I also had to buy a new keyboard since the J and K button on my old keyboard was nothing but dust by the time I quit.

Looking back on the experience, I regret ever picking up this game at all. Just like how the [cookie clicker](http://orteil.dashnet.org/experiments/cookie/) destroyed my mouse, this game destroyed my keyboard and I regret it to this moment. Even staring at the broken letters of J and K on my old keyboard, my fingers twitch as if they were remembering the game.

Heed my advice...never ever pick up this game...or else.
