Way more effort put into this mod, to the point you can barely tell this is a mod for Keen 6 "Aliens Ate My Babysitter." The enemy design are very imaginative this time around, including the final boss of the game, who is an alien imposter of Commander Keen. I think this is the first time you have a full on boss fight in this franchise (Keen 3 doesn't count, because you don't fight Mortimer one-on-one). I can't wait to get to Keen 9, if I remember it's the most ambitious of the 3.
It's probably the weakest of the unofficial "The Universe is Toast" trilogy, as it is simply a reskin of Keen 4 slightly modified with new maps, and I think that is by design. I think Ceilick is trying to ease into the more out their ideas that will be present in the other two entries. This does a really good job otherwise of establishing another planet that Mortimer McMire has taken over, and the Krodacians will be back in the 9th and final game.
While not as bad as "Keen Must Die" in my opinion, it is still a step down from the previous two in this trilogy. I don't know why, but for some reason the platforming on the slanted ledges are just so buggy in this entry. I do appreciate them adding another planet to this franchise to expand the lore, and the new enemies have fun and goofy designs. It's a shame the story for this was left off on a cliffhanger, but luckily a CK fan known as Ceilick created a whole new trilogy to finish the story. Episodes 7-9 I will review next.
