Hyper Team Recon

Hyper Team Recon is a 3D platformer about three alien slimes—Ember, Penny and Lite—who travel to Earth to learn about its lifeforms. They can morph into girls to keep a low profile, but after their ship crashes when its captain falls asleep at the wheel, the trio are separated and stranded across the planet. You guide each of them through different locations as they platform, solve puzzles and fight, meeting friends and foes while working to reunite, repair their ship and complete their mission.

Morph and explore

The slimes can copy the forms of people and creatures they meet, gaining their abilities. Friends can join the journey and help the trio, while enemies can be fought by morphing into them and using their own moves. Copied abilities include gliding across large gaps, using a pointy shell to keep hazards at bay and casting spells from a jellyfish.

The locations feature platforming challenges, puzzles and combat encounters. You can revisit completed levels to search for hidden routes and collectibles, push your abilities further and complete optional objectives.

Friends and foes

The trio meet a lively cast of characters across Earth, including a soda-addicted teen and a jellyfish mage. Some become trusted friends who help the slimes reunite and repair their ship; others oppose them, from angry snails and evil turtle queens to undersea pop-stars.

Collectibles and extras

H.E.R.B., a helpful slime AI, tracks the trio’s progress. Collect foil throughout levels and break objects to find more, then use it to fill out H.E.R.B.’s scrapbook and unlock extras. Each level also hides five souvenirs, and completing all three challenging sub-goals in a level earns medals that unlock more costumes. Scrapbook rewards include outfits, bite-size challenge zones and extra cutscenes; optional goals and foil can also unlock special scenes. Collecting every medal unlocks a secret ending.

Visual style

Gameplay uses cutesy, paper-inspired visuals. Visual novel-style cutscenes feature expressive, animated anime models of the characters.
