The briefing

About this game

Cosmic Spacehead follows Linus, who crash-landed on Earth and returned home only to find that nobody believes his story. Help him travel back to Earth and gather photographic proof of the planet he discovered.

Gameplay

The game blends two styles. In adventure mode, you explore locations, collect objects, talk to characters, and construct sentences by selecting actions or objects with a pointer. Progress also requires action sequences featuring treacherous landscapes and dangerous creatures in side-scrolling platforming sections.

Completed action sequences remain cleared when revisiting locations, and passwords let you continue later from the same point.
