Day of the Alien: Tentacles Ate My Babysitter!
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a pretty old game I made way back in 2002. It all started when I asked myself, "What if Commander Keen entered the universe of Day of the Tentacle?" The end result is a chaotic mishmash of platforming levels and mini-puzzle sequences shared between Keen himself (stranded in the DOTT timeline on Earth) and Bernard, Hoagie, and Laverne (each of them stranded on a different alien planet).
This game would later become the middle chapter in a trilogy of fangames I dubbed "the LucasKeen trilogy," comprised of Maniac Mars (which entered development shortly after DOTA:TAMB), this game, and Goodbye Monkey Island (which I started working on two years later).
