About this game

In Jinks, you command a Star Fleet exploration mission to the mysterious planet JINKS, a lush and resource-rich world that may support human expansion.

What begins as a routine research expedition turns deadly when scouting the planet with a probe triggers a game of cat and mouse. Navigate the planet’s fiendish traps before the probe and its occupants are miniaturized or annihilated.
