Friendly Alien

Guide a little alien around a fenced field and pick up all 20 candies. Once they are gone a space phone appears in the top left corner: walk to it and he calls home. A spaceship then lands in the middle of the field; walk onto its ramp and he flies home. Cans of cola give him an allergic reaction: he drinks one, glug-glug, and staggers a step in a random direction, possibly onto more cola, a candy or a flu bug. Touching a flu bug, or running out of the one-minute clock, gives him the flu and he cannot go home. Skill levels 1 to 5 set how many flu bugs and cans there are, and at level N, N of the bugs wander about. The best time is kept for each skill level.

Controls: Use either controller. The stick walks the alien in eight directions; hold it to keep walking. On the title, push up and down to choose, left and right to change the skill level, and press a button to start.
