Game Overview
An intergalactic rescue mission becomes an aggressively silly cartoon odyssey when a deranged alien steals your dogs and uses their essence for a universe-ending scheme. You play a chair-bound alien partnered with Trover, a purple, sword-wielding creature whose willingness to help is outweighed only by his talent for complaining. Trover Saves The Universe channels the crude, surreal energy associated with Squanch Games into a colorful adventure full of grotesque planets, ridiculous side characters, and jokes that rarely leave a quiet moment. The tone is deliberately chaotic and juvenile, but beneath the constant insults sits a straightforward action-platformer with genuine momentum.
From your hovering chair, you direct Trover through compact alien environments while looking around, interacting with objects, and occasionally manipulating the space around him. Combat revolves around quick melee attacks, dodges, enemy patterns, and upgrades that give Trover new ways to cross gaps, reach secrets, and survive tougher encounters. Collectible power babies improve both partners, gradually expanding your movement and combat options as the journey moves between distinct worlds. The campaign supports standard screen play as well as VR, with virtual reality making the scale, sight gags, and odd environmental interactions more immediate without turning the experience into a demanding motion-control game.
What separates it from most comedy games is the constant relationship between player and protagonist: Trover reacts to hesitation, mistakes, poking around, and the bizarre decisions you make. Dialogue often feels loose and improvised, while optional conversations and detours reward players who stop to listen to every bizarre creature they meet. Its platforming and fighting are accessible rather than deeply technical, so the main appeal is the writing, personality, and offbeat presentation. Fans of Rick and Morty-style humor, High on Life, or irreverent 3D platformers find plenty to enjoy, while newcomers should know that the crude comedy is absolutely the point.
