does anyone know the title of this game?

does anyone know the title of this game?

Post by mariuszp »

I need to help someone remember the title of a game, based on a description she gave me, in order to find something else out in exchange.

It's apparently an old game, runs on Windows XP, with old OpenGL-style graphics, about an alien trying to save his girlfriend. It starts with a comic strip of her being kidnapped. The alien is human-like and "either green or blue", in a transparent ball/bubble that bounces around, and he tries to colelct coins and avoids pirates. Googling those terms doesn't yield the right results.

I thought someone on this forum might perhaps recognise this game, or at least know of some forum where I could get better information?

Some parts of your description remind me of Psychonauts, but it's definitely not that game.
This is 3D-platformer game?

Perhaps try http://gaming.stackexchange.com/; somewhat larger and more focussed audience.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

Can you tell us, or ask them, if they remember what genre the game in question is? (RPG, Shooter, etc.)

Sounds like a platformer from the description but I'd like to keep my assumptions away.

She said it's a 3D platformer indeed.
I also posted the question on StackExchange as suggested. Perhaps this game wasn't very popular so I'm trying different forums.

EDIT: The alien apparently looks like "beast boy" from "teen titans".
EDIT: They don't allow the question on StackExchange because I lack screenshots/audio etc.

You don't need screenshots at the link I posted above. You might want to try that one.
