About Hyper Team Recon
About The Game:
Hyper Team Recon is an adorable 3D platformer about three aliens and their adventure across Earth! Three energetic alien slimes, Ember, Penny and Lite, are tasked to travel to Earth in order to learn more about the lifeforms inhabiting the planet, using their species' unique morphing abilities to disguise themselves as girls in order to keep a low profile! But after their ship crashes after a non-specific captain falls asleep at the wheel - *cough* Ember *cough* - The trio get split up and stranded on Earth, leading them to each traverse through a variety of locations full of platforming, puzzles and combat, meeting a lively cast of friends and foes along the way!
On their journey, each of the girls will make friends with the people and creatures they find on Earth that they can trust! Friends who will be happy to tag along and help the girls re-unite, fix their ship, and complete their mission, as well as let them copy their forms to gain new abilities along the way! These abilities include a glide to cross large gaps, a pointy shell to keep hazards at bay, magic spells from a jellyfish, and more!
However, there will also be some people who won't be as hospitable for their alien guests, ranging from angry snails, evil turtle queens, and even undersea pop-stars! These enemies will stop at nothing to make life harder for the squishy slimes, but that won't stop them from simply morphing into their enemies and using their own moves against them in combat!
Tracking the slime's progress every step of the way is H.E.R.B, a helpful slime A.I who keeps up-to-date with what's happening on Earth, while using the foil collected to fill out his scrapbook, a special book to fill with foil to unlock goodies, like new outfits, bite-size challenge zones, extra cutscenes, and more!
The adventure doesn't stop there! Complete all 3 challenging sub-goals in a level to collect medals and unlock even more costumes, and unlock a secret ending that may or may not be there once you collect every single medal! (Or you might just get a slightly different jpeg at the end of the credits, we'll see)
Features:
- Transform into anyone you meet - As shapeshifting alien slimes, morph into friends and foes alike to copy their forms and gain unique abilities!
- Mechanics - From platforming, to puzzles, to combat, use the morphing mechanic to gain new abilities to help you in each of these fields!
- Travel the world - As the slimes travel across the planet, jump, solve, and fight through various platforming challenges, puzzles and combat encounters in a variety of locations!
- Collectables - Pick up foil scattered throughout the levels in order to fill out the scrapbook, as well as break open objects for even more foil! Be on the lookout for rarer collectables too, such as the 5 souvenirs hidden throughout each level!
- Charming visuals - Cutesy paper inspired visuals during gameplay are paired up with expressive, animated anime models of the characters during visual novel-style cutscenes to add a further level of charm to the game's world and storytelling!
- Lively cast - Meet all sorts of cute and colourful characters on your journey across Earth, from a soda-addicted teen to a jellyfish mage, all with their own forms and abilities to copy!
- Unlockable extras - Complete optional goals or spend foil to fill out the scrapbook to unlock different outfits for the slimes, as well as special scenes to watch!
- Replayability - Replay old levels and push your abilities to their limits to find hidden routes and collectables to clear optional objectives!

A very cute and fun platformer. Ember, Penny, Lite, and all the others really provide a wonderful cast of characters (if a bit trope-y at times). I particularily like Ember (who gives off strong Neptunia vibes), Lite, Ali, and DJ Pincher. The story is a little bit all over the place, but its still fun regardless. The levels themselves can be a bit basic, but still fun, and there isn't a whole lot of content outside of levels - just some challenges, costumes, and more funny scenes. I kind of wish this game either had some minigames you could unlock or a medal which was tied to a level-specific challenge to add variety. I also wish the base movement speed was a little faster - I know it would change a lot about the physics of the game, but unless I was a slime hopping along, it felt a bit slow moving. But overall, anamazing hidden indie gem. I would highly reccomend to anyone remotely curious.1 found this helpful
A short cute game, plays well on Steam Deck at any resolution. I do feel movement is a bit slow, but the levels don't demand much movement. Levels are cute, but doesn't have much varied platforming challenges. A cute, if short and simple, platformer that I would recommend. Hope the next game is bigger.1 found this helpful
Hyper Team Recon is a fun and adorable Platformer, which shines with It's witty and funny writing and pleasant Paper Mario like aesthetic. The writing shine through It's main trio of Ember, Penny and Lite, but also it colorful cast of side characters, who each of them have great design. Characters have great chemistry between each other, which makes experiencing the story a joy. The gameplay is good, with memorable set pieces like the train segment in Chapter 5, the chase segment in Nicola's factory in Chapter 8 and the boss fight in Chapter 9 as a few examples. The best Chapter in my opinion is Chapter 7, which offered good platforming challenges and nice aesthetics. The main gimmick of being able to transform into enemies or side characters was also a fun gimmick, which changed the platforming in good ways, through the likes of the crab or Servitors transformation. The music was good, not much to say. The level clear is very memorable and my favorite track from the game. There is some critic regarding to the gameplay. The transformation gimmick, while fun, could have been more. The game reuses the same enemies/npcs to early on and some transformation are nearly identical or se…
Funny and relaxing! The story is very silly and the characters are adorable. It is fun to run around and use the copy abilities! Had a great time getting 100% of the achievements!
It's a short and fun little platformer to play on an afternoon you have a couple hours free. Cute slime girls, side characters, and enemies all packed into one entertaining story. What more could you ask for?
Super charming and fun, I love this game. It's short and sweet but well worth the spend, absolutely recommend it
