Space Monsters Meet The Hardy

As usual, when aliens invade the earth, there is nothing better than a fearless hero armed with a laser gun to put an end to their evil aims. Hardy - that's the name of our alter ego - jumps from platform to platform while shooting everything that moves. Each level is composed of an increasing number of screens, and in order to move on to the next we will have to find the keycard that opens the exit door and reach it.

Levels must be completed within a very short time, from 14 seconds for the first to one minute for the last. This is actually the main limit of the game: once you memorize the path to collect the keycard and get to the exit, it can be completed in a very short time, about five-six minutes. Before you can do this, you will have to sweat a lot though!

However, it must be said that the game looks very good graphically, with a remarkable use of multicolour and the smoothness of the character movements, especially the main one, and for the pleasant background music.

In short, Space Monsters Meet The Hardy will not keep you busy for a very long time, but as long as you play it, you will be enticed by the lovely graphics and sound and the fast and furious action.
