Commander Keen 6 - Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter!
Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter! is a side-scrolling platformer released in 1991 by Apogee Software. Players control Commander Keen, a young genius in a rocket-powered pogo stick suit, as he navigates colorful alien worlds filled with enemies and hazards. The gameplay focuses on precise jumping, platforming mechanics, and collecting items scattered throughout levels. Keen must progress through multiple themed episodes, each presenting increasingly challenging environments with varied enemy types and level design. The controls are straightforward—move left/right and jump using the keyboard. The game emphasizes exploration and skill-based platforming rather than combat, with bonus items and secrets hidden throughout stages. Keen 6 continues the series' tradition of accessible yet challenging level design that rewards both speedrunning and thorough exploration of its vibrant, imaginative worlds.
