Part Time UFO is a physics-based puzzle game by HAL Egg, a mobile subsidiary of HAL Laboratory. The game stars a crane-equipped UFO taking on odd jobs around Earth.As far as plots go, you play as Jobski, a little UFO that crashes onto an Earth farm by accident. Not wanting to leave the place a mess, it cleans up everything that got scattered from the impact, and the farmer's so impressed he introduces it to the concept of getting paid for a hard day's work. This inspires it to start looking for work while it's still on Earth and get used to life there.The game is a score-based system with a time limit, where excellence in your jobs means higher pay. Gameplay relies on picking up various items and bringing them to a designated goal site. Much like real-life crane games, there are only two methods of input: a joystick to maneuver Jobski, and a button to make them pick up and drop items. Also like crane games, precise movements are necessary to get higher scores: each item you bring to the goal nets an extra 10 seconds, with an bonus added if the main mission is completed in time. All levels come with three additional missions to complete, typically involving stacking the items a certain way, collecting a certain item that may be hidden, or even making sure your stack doesn't topple over.The game was released for smartphones in 2017. While it's a standalone title, Jobski would later make cameos in the BoxBoy! series as well as HAL Egg's second title Kame Sanpo.On October 28, 2020, a Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase revealed a Nintendo Switch port of Part-Time UFO, released on the same day. The port enhances the game's performance and adds new features, including tougher versions of existing jobs, a "Feats of Glory" achievement system, co-op play, and the side modes Treasure Island and Tower of Infinity. | |

All There in the Manual: Ankh's name is never said once in the game, only appearing in the official Twitter's in-character posts. In the full Trailer for the Switch port, the UFO finally gets the Meaningful Name of Jobski; its Japanese pronunciation (ジョブ好き, "jobu suki") means "to like jobs". In fact, only two more characters had their names revealed through Twitter posts: Dr. Dharma, the scientist with a daruma doll-like face from the Lab stages. Kuro Hanpen, the phantom thief found in both Farm and Museum stages. | |

Bilingual Bonus: The soundtrack has a synthesized group of high-pitched voices sing a phrase relating to Jobski in Japanese: "Hataraku UFO" (Working UFO) for the title theme and most job levels. "Kaimono UFO" (Shopping UFO) for Ankh's shop. "Kigaeru UFO" (Clothes-changing UFO) for the costume menu. "Tatakau UFO" (Fighting UFO) for the battles on the moon and Treasure Island. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Part Time UFO (Video Game) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: Many of HAL Laboratory's games feature UFOs in some way (primarily the UFO ability in the Kirby series, as well as a costume in BoxBoy!), and this game takes it further by having a UFO as a playable character. The highly esoteric sense of humor found in many of HAL's previous games, most notably Kirby and EarthBound (1994), is also very much present here, featuring a large amount of sight gags and parodies of western and Japanese everyday life. | |

Amazing Technicolor Population: Ankh, the blue-skinned Bedlah Babe running the shop (as much as the game's art style can allow, anyway). Nearing the end of the Treasure Island Mode, Jobski comes across two military-like treasure hunters (both with unusually green skin compared to all the other humans in the game), whom set out to stop Jobski from getting away with the treasures collected. Considering that this is a game about extraterrestrials spending life on Earth, it’s possible they themselves may not even be entirely human at all. | |

Ankh herself is said to have originated from somewhere other than Earth, even as to call herself a "space gal" when greeting a returning Jobski. How long she’s been on Earth is unclear, but it’s assumed she’s been there a while before Jobski's arrival. | |

Company Cross References: Qbby occasionally appears in Jobski's apartment and in the background of many stages after beating the game (in the Switch version he cameos in stages from the start of the game, though he doesn't appear in Jobski's apartment), and several Twitter posts have the pair hang out. Some of the posts also imply Jobski admires Kirby as well. One of the Toy Shop jobs in the Switch version involves moving plush toys of Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Waddle Dees. In the Switch version, Urashima (the turtle) and Inaba (the hare) from Kame Sanpo appear in a job book illustration. | |

Continuity Creep | |
| Part Time UFO (Video Game) / int_de7891ec | comment |
Continuity Creep: While there are a few recurring locations in the game, the later stages start to tie into one another. The creation of a funky-looking mech (ostensibly to protect Earth) ends in the same Mech coming to the rescue when Jobski fights the star aliens. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The mecha fought in the second Moon level is named Comoestas (Spanish for "How are you?"). | |

Mundane Utility | |

Mundane Utility: For such a versatile claw, Jobski is often seen using it in bonus art for changing the channel, eating food, or other day-to-day things. | |

Boss Warning Siren: Moon 2's objective splash screen gives Comoestas one of these alongside some Boss Subtitles. | |

Running Gag | |
| Part Time UFO (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: A smiling, sitting haniwa reoccurs throughout the game for no apparent reason other than to look silly and out-of-place. Every job the haniwa appears in features a medal objective requiring Jobski to place them somewhere in the goal area before completing the objective— even when trying to weigh down the alien overlord's escape pod. The only part of the game where the haniwa isn't part of a medal objective is in Treasure Island Mode, and even then their appearance in the background is relevant to solving a puzzle. | |
