And sometimes, the games on Newgrounds can get kind of weird in their sheer simplicity, this is why we’ve got games like John Citizen to talk about.

Basically, the aliens have landed one of their own on the planet Earth.  Charged with the duty of planting a series of Doomsday Devices all over the planet, he’s come to kill us all.  He’s armed to the teeth, ready to kill, and indistiguishable from anyone else.  He’s John Citizen.  And we’re not going to be happy to see him.

The gameplay is pretty simple, run, jump, blast things, avoid spikes–and the worlds all look vaguely similiar with some odd differences.  For instance, why do Dubai and the Netherlands look so much alike?  And last I knew, Ottawa in Canada was NOT comprised entirely of a long row of spikes with a series of platforms suspended via invisible restraints directly over them.  I’m baffled on that one, really.

But one thing is clear enough–John Citizen is a fairly fun and fairly quick casual game that’s worth a few plays.
