Played for a couple of hours and I feel like I've sort of gotten the big picture of what the game has to offer. The plot is absolutely ridiculous and fantastic; you're an adolescent alien that needs to go through a rite of passage by playing pranks upon dumb Earth men/women to get lotsa cash, by stealing and wearing their skins (let's not think too hard about the implications here) and then becoming a public menace. The main gameplay loop is fun enough, but it gets a bit repetitive since you will run out of tools for pranks and will need to capture more skins and head back to UFOs that move around every time you use them. Also, there is a CPU that is actively trying to defeat you and will attack you to break down your disguise; once that happens, you're stuck in hitstun for quite a while, and if your disguise fully breaks, you lose a lot of money (that you cannot regain) which does slow down story mode a bit. And that's more or less the gist of it; it's a great game for laughs and giggles but I agree with BastardJodie that this game is probably better experienced as a chaotic party game of sabotage and proto amogus (I think it would be a ton more interesting if both you and the CPU couldn't tell by the tags whom was whom under the skins) and having to constantly run around for more skins and skin renewal via UFOs does slow it down a bit. Nevertheless, I think it's an interesting hidden gem that folks looking for something off the beaten path should give a shot.
