So you want to know what happened to the Broom Alien after Zak and the girls left Mars? You've come to the right place and Fangame.
What this game does right:
- It lets you revisit places from Zak McKracken and expands on the story (a bit).
- Also it has some music.
What this game doesn't do quite right:
- The mixed art, the inventory items have a different style to each one, cut out photographs, icons, pixelart. The Broom Alien character is scaled down more crisp than the rest which leads to different pixel resolutions.
- What are the Sierra controls with clicking through mousemodes doing in a Lucas Arts Fangame? For real?
- And then you have the different cursor modes but almost nothing to click on.
- Also the hotspots are not displayed which leads to lots of random clicking just to find interactable objects. And when you examine them with the look option there are no interesting lines to read.
- The chainsaw fuel is there and no interaction or comment for it? Come on!
- The puzzles are non existant and absurd (look at tram entrance to find a crowbar) and illogical (why does the TV remote found in a hostel (on mars) open the statue? It made kind of sense in the original Zak McKracken, as both the TV and the blue crystal have this red dot on them.)
- 28MB filesize for this? WTF did you do to your graphics?
So I recommend you just watch the longplay and reminiscent on Zak and the Broom alien and don't waste your time trying to find hotspots.
But you should totally check out the trailer for the fan film for Zak McKracken by the same creator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO4iwquuE3U
