We’ve been downright spoiled so far in 2018, what with games like Alto’s Odyssey staking their territory straight out of the gate. Following that trend is Part Time UFO, a brand new mobile game from the creators of Kirby and other Nintendo favorites.

The game launched in Japan last November, and now Part Time UFO has debuted in a number of western countries, including the UK and the US, as well. It’s a colorful, classic gaming treat to help us through these last few, drab winter weeks.

Part Time UFO is a quirky interpretation of arcade crane games. You play as a little UFO come to earth to help people out of predicaments using your helpful claw arm. It’s essentially a game of drag and drop as you complete little odd jobs, be it stacking crates of oranges for a farmer or constructing a pyramid of cheerleaders. It’s silly, yes, but the sheer variety will have you hooked on Part Time UFO for quite some time.

Part Time UFO is a premium release at £3.99 and you can pick it up right now on iOS and Android.
