People on the Internet have been praising Inkvaders. It’s currently only 59p, but will be going up in price soon. Two good reasons to buy there, but the thing that finally pushed me over the edge was when I read that the hero’s name was Generic Marine. (His friends call him G.)

Generic Marine. Honest, with a pinch of humour.

Sold.

Anyway, the game. It seems all right, actually. You run left and right and shoot martians until their brains fall out. Sometimes you boost yourself up into the air to grab meteors, which act as the game’s currency. There are weapon upgrades, item boxes, that sort of thing.


It’s all presented in a charming style, with a human hand changing pages as you go through the menus and everything looking like paper cutouts. (Not unlike Zombies vs. Sheep, actually. Really must play that again sometime.)

So, yeah, seems to be worth 59p, but I can’t say I’m too wild about it. May well grow on me, though. Watch this space.
