As a fan of James Kochalka's comics and records, I had to get this and I am glad it turned out to be be pretty good.

Glorkian Warrior is Space Invaders style shooter with autofire and a jump button. Instead of fixed levels, the games randomizes the successive waves of aliens as well as various other elements such as the ground you stand on or side challenges handed over by a pair of bossy sisters.

Enemies drop power-ups as expected and they are sorely needed as your default laser is slow and weak. The rare moments when you're stuck with your default with no upgrades in sight feel a bit underwhelming.

The game controls fine though the jumping lacks a bit in response and precision, IMO. My only gripe is that using a 360 controller the d-pad is set to jump and left/right movement, which would be fine except for the 360 pad being so imprecise, so you must use the left or right analogue stick to move.

It takes about 30 minutes of gameplay to unlock enough rewards to have the game really pick up the pace. Stick with it for a while if the first couple of minutes feel a bit slow and light on thrills.

So power up with pizza, fire up your Flarf Gun and don't pet the Astro Kitties!
