So, you’ve been snatched by aliens—yeah, just another Tuesday, right? Instead of probing or whatever other alien clichés you were expecting, these extraterrestrials have you jump through their bizarre hoops of logic. Welcome to Alien Intelligence Test, the game that pretty much screams, “Prove you’re not just another earthling meat sack.” Spoiler alert: you’re going to need more than common sense—though, ironically, all you get is a mouse or touchpad. Because aliens clearly know best.
The heart of this cosmic brain-buster lies in its puzzle mechanics. You’ll be clicking and dragging buttons, pulling weird levers, and flicking mysterious switches, all in a quest to decode alien logic patterns. Think of it as a twisted version of “Simon Says,” but instead of a friendly voice, you get alien monotones and the fear of cosmic lobotomy. The challenge? Figuring out which combination of clicks gets you to the next level without your sanity evaporating. I tried to get the crafting down on the first machine and ended up with a mess worthy of MasterChef—except nothing tasted good, if you catch my drift.
Everything here is about pattern recognition and experimentation, kind of like when you’re trying to remember your Uber driver’s name while simultaneously tracking the pizza delivery guy’s ETA. The controls couldn’t be simpler: no joystick gymnastics, no button combos to memorize. Just your trusty pointer finger (or thumb if you’re a touchscreen sorcerer) doing its thing. And just like in real life, sometimes the solution is obvious, and sometimes you’ll stare at a panel of blinking lights like you’re decoding the Matrix.
Oh, and don’t think the aliens are going easy on you! Each level ramps up the complexity with new gizmos and logic twists—kind of like leveling from a toddler’s toy piano to trying to conduct a full orchestra. The sense of accomplishment when you finally crack a level? Pure GG. Who would have thought that getting tested by intergalactic beings would be less about shooting lasers and more about the cerebral gymnastics? First stage was manageable, but the one with the multi-lever puzzle had me talking to my mouse like it was gonna answer back. Seriously, who tested this?
