Commander Keen Episode X aka. XkyKeen1 is a Keen 1 mod by Xkylyr Rauh. It's the second mod ever created for an original Commander Keen game. It won the 2002 Keen Awards.

It takes place aboard a spaceship. The story takes place after all the official Keen games, and is an interpretation of a possible storyline for Commander Keen: The Universe is Toast.

Story

In this episode, having stopped the Shikadi Armageddon Machine and saved his babysitter Molly from being devoured by the Bloogs of Fribbulus Xax, Commander Keen finally sits down to decypher the mysterious message he found in the command room of the Q.E.D.

Upon translating, Keen was shocked to discover that Mortimer's plans extended far beyond the destruction of Earth--or even the Galaxy! No, Mortimer's plan is to destroy the Universe!

Checking in on his still-groggy parents, (whom he had recently nursed back to conciousness via ice cream,) young Billy once again donned his brother's football helmet and blasted off into space, destination: McMire's ship.

After a considerable trip, Keen's ship slowed out of hyperspace and crept up to the underside of Mortimer's stealthy mothership. A simple frequency scan granted him access through some bay doors, and without a second's hesitation, Keen set out to dismantle key structures in this Universe-threatening ship!

Levels


Levelpacks

There are three levelpacks made for this mod.

  • KeenRush has made a levelpack called xky1tuned. The 16 new levels of the level pack are considerably more difficult than the original levels of the mod.
  • Years later after his first one, KeenRush released another levelpack called xky1rooms. It's a remake of 14 of the levels from the original mod as one-room levels.
