About Alien Video Game Scientist
An alien spacecraft just entered the solar system, but all that's on board is a video game?
As the world's Preeminent Video Game Scientist you've been tasked with solving this mystery. But you won't be alone; the unseen snarky narrator will be at you side the whole time, making sure you don't get all the credit and glory.
Gameplay
Each level is a navigation puzzle: how do I find the exit while collecting all the necessary or optional objects along the way, some of which may be hidden, or hard to reach? Levels are small & bite sized, but open ended with multiple paths. Find a fast enough path to unlock extra rewards, or just muddle thru for a casual experience.
Speed running: optional but encouraged
Causal/chill vibe players can enjoy the entire game at their own pace. BUT, for more challenge and some competition try to beat the in-game time trials or even complete in the Steam Leaderboards for each level.
Features:
- Not a precision platformer
- Death just means quick travel back to the last (user specifiable) checkpoint
- Mazes always have a tell, leading you in the right direction (But wander randomly, if you must)
- Soundtrack can be muted AT ANY TIME (but we hope you won't want to)
- Plays equally well with mouse or gamepad (all brands should work thru the magic of Steam Input)
- Verified to work on at least ONE Steam Deck
- 38 hand-crafted levels
Our GAMEPLAY: a philosophical treatise
A good collectathon lets you choose: the best path to get to the end, which collectables to get, and how efficient to be about the whole nonsense. That's the philosophy behind our levels: there is no single path through them, but there's probably a BEST way, which may not have been discovered yet (or even intended by the designer).
Because large sprawling open world levels can get tiresome, with a lot of backtracking or getting lost, our levels are smaller, bite sized floating platforms where completing a level should never take more than 5 minutes.
The only requirement is to get to the end of each level, and causal players can even search out the hidden skip level option, if desperate. Butfor extra challenge, collect all the things and do it (relatively) quickly. Rather than competing against a world leaderboard with ever diminishing odds of ever placing, our speedrun challenges are designed for a moderately motivated and moderately agile player to achieve given some planning, knowledge of the level layout, and at most a few retries to get it right. Rather than relying on split second timing, you'll get a lot further thinking about which regions to visit first, where to place the re-spawn point, etc.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I had fun playing the first few levels, then my kids saw and took over. They are into minecraft parkour type stuff, and like solving puzzles, and then spent the next few hours playing it until I kicked them off. It was entertaining to watch and listen to them figure it out.2 found this helpful
You play as a tic tac tasked with collecting "data" inside a corrupted alien game cartridge. The movement is simple, but fun once you get into the flow of it and figure out some "advanced" techniques.1 found this helpful
This game does an interesting take on the 3D platformer collectathon genre. The levels take place on an abstract series of blocks, where the player can either choose to head straight for the goal, or take the more challenging route to grab all of the pickups throughout the level first before completing it. Has some nice aesthetics overall, and a funny voiceover. If you are into first person 3D platformers then this game might interest you. But I personally had some issues with motion sickness while playing, so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to that.1 found this helpful
playing this game for 2 hours had lead me to completing the game normally - This meaning not doing speedrun nor all the achievements In this perspective the game was very entertaining with it's puzzles. Main goal being to collect all the blue panes aka data ( in the story ) to get the full gameplay. These being placed in places that people would need to think as they get closer to collecting them all. The game feels very speedrun friendly and allows players to try new ways to complete the game under small amount of time! I love the idea of the story and feel like more work to it would make it perfect but for now the art shall rest! - Do know that everything in the trailer and pictures in the steam page is what the game is like!
Spend now 8 hours to play through the game, had some fun speedrunning a few levels for the achivements. Even when one is still missing to achive everything.
Very fun game. Helps develop your skills for other 3D games in regards to jumping and timing.
