UFO Adventure is just a relatively short but sweet homage to those fun point and click adventure games. You know, the ones you would find on the PCs before there were mobile devices. In this case you can buy it and play it for less than the price of a cup of coffee, and there are no other fees or subscriptions. It's designed to be just a fun little adventure. You play the game by exploring the different areas of the virtual world using the onscreen character. When directed by your your touch, he will pick up items, push buttons, and otherwise do your bidding. In playing the game, you will have to solve different puzzles to find your way out of the situation. In fact, you just may have to outsmart an alien and save the world along the way. Not bad for a day of casual adventuring. And not once do you have to change floppy disks to play the game. (The older players may get that rather bad joke, but we were compelled to share that experience anyway.) UFO Adventure automatically saves your progress, making it easy to pick up and play. There are no words needed, just crafty clicking. Thanks for looking at UFO Adventure!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hell and Back holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hell and Back has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of UFO Adventure's written reviews are positive against 25% of Hell and Back's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

UFO Adventure ships an update every 173 months, Hell and Back every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
