The Visitor

In The Visitor you take control of an alien slug, hellbent on Earth’s ruination. And bursting out of as many stomachs as possible! SPLURT!

It’s a rather short, not-too-tough flash game that is mostly about hotspot hunting, but the great graphics and wicked theme make it a gaming intestinal tract worth bursting out of (weak analogies ftw).

I NEED to use the tab function? I beat it just fine without tab.

Liked the atmosphere, just wish there was a little more to the game. Not endgame things either, but more rolling around as a little guy type things.

The included TAB functionality probably spares you 5 minutes of “object hunting” (not really pixel hunting per se).The other 30% of your time is spent on puzzles, like the steam pipes and killing the granny. As for the animation glitch, it’s common in flash games. Else there would have to be code provisions for every single animation and action. It’s the game’s way of saying “This is not Hapland”.

I don’t think any puzzle in this is solvable with reason. Success is obtained by clicking on hot-spots until an animation triggers. And you NEED to use the (tab) function because hot-spots will randomly become active or inactive depending on where the worm is.

Also there’s a weird glitch where clicking on stuff while an animation is going on causes it to restart.

Slither/Night of the Creeps anyone?

^^” It was maddeningly difficult to figure out how to beat the alien in the last scene until I finally managed to figure out where I was going wrong.

Great multiple endings, a tasty treat (although not so for the people you had to rid in order to get the ‘human’ ending…)

Hahaha! That’s a great game concept. I love the whole 60’s B movie “slug from outer space” mood, plus the intestinal splattering animation are delightful.

Note to self: check the mentioned “replay last scene button” since the infuriated slug triggered by clicking the toilet paper didn’t make a lot of sense.

There are three possible endings for the last scene. The main differences between the three endings are in who lives and who dies.

Huh, what’s the point of the ‘Replay last scene’ button at the end? There are various things you can click but everything seems to end the game in the same way.

Cool game. Wish it were longer. (That’s what she said.)

(Uh, to you. Zing!)

Too short, too easy :( But anyways, it was GREAT I wish it had continued

I played it and it was really fun! It would’ve been so fun if it wasn’t for the theme though.

How cool is a worm that takes form of those he infects?

King, you don’t get the fish in the pond. Try something else.

As usual you can cheat with <tab>.

Though it would escape that. Meep.

As usual you can cheat with . The solution is to click the rock and then quickly the top of the rod (left side).
