Walkerton in: Aliens took my Doritos
Creator: David Willis
This game takes the form of a platform adventure, and you play a member of the SEMI task force who must fight to save the planet and its corn chips from the nasty little purple aliens. Your actions decide which path you will take to complete the game, which comprises some fifty frames. Throughout the levels are little animated sequences which fill you in on the story, a light-hearted tale that is unashamedly predictable, ridiculous and entertaining.
In the screenshot, for instance, we see Walkerton fighting the mutant frosted honey bun.
A strange aspect of Aliens took my Doritos is the impossibility of losing. You can't ever lose, no matter how hard you try. If you die, an alien will grab you and drag you off to another level, and you take a different path through the game. This means, of course, that you get to see all the graphics and cut scenes. Aside from a few other minor bugs, however, this is an elaborate game by a talented cartoonist whose Walkerton games are well worth the download.
