About This Game

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!
