Introduction:
Welcome to the official walkthrough for First Impact, here you’ll find
all you need to ace the game and finish with the best score with
help ranging from tips and hints, to a full out walkthrough of the
entire game.
In First Impact you play as Jeremy, an alien from outer space who
has crash-landed on Earth and has been taken away by the FBI to
Area 51 for experimenting. Using his wits, speed, and skill, Jeremy
needs to evade his captors and return to his spaceship to call for
help. Along the way there are collectable items that Jeremy should
pick up, such as information documents on his species gathered
by the FBI, and sheep for him to take him to test on.
Jeremy FBI Agent
(Good guy, not a rabbit) (Bad guy)
There are two types of FBI Agents; the patrolling guards and the
stationary ones who will shoot Jeremy on site.
5. First Impact Official Walkthrough
Items and Collectables
There are two types of collectables in the game; in Level 1 there
are information documents with records written by the FBI on
Jeremy’s species, this information was obtained by the FBI due to
the experimentation they’ve performed on Jeremy so far. Jeremy
wants his species to be kept secret for now, so on his way out of
Area 51 he should try to collect these documents so they don’t fall
into the wrong hands.
On Level 2, Jeremy is outside and will come across some sheep in
his way, should Jeremy choose to collect these sheep they will
greatly benefit his species upon his return home as they will be
used for experimenting.
Not everything you encounter in the game is as pleasant as a
document or a sheep, though. In Area 51 the FBI have placed
Laser Traps in your way, these beams are very lethal and will fry
Jeremy in a second, one type of beam is triggered by a button and
can only be turned off by another button, the other type is on a
timer that will turn on every three seconds.
The dreaded laser beam, one kind is
triggered by standing on
a red button and can only
be turned off by a green
button, the green button
is usually near a patrolling guard.

The other kind of laser beam is the automatic one, there is no way
to turn these ones off so you’ll have to watch them carefully and
time your running, the laser beam will be on for three seconds at a
time.
(On) (Off)
The on and off buttons for the laser traps.
Ladders are the main way for Jeremy to navigate up
the levels, they feature on both worlds and are the only part of the
map safe from the FBI Agents and the laser traps. It's best to use
these to time your movements from the FBI guard who shoots at
you.

Game Walkthrough
Level 1 – Area 51
1). The level starts with Jeremy on the lowest part of the Area 51 base,
immediately ahead of him is a automatic laser trap that will trigger after three
seconds and continue to do so for the entirety of the level. The best thing to
do is to immediately run past the trap.
Up ahead is a ladder, the first collectable and a patrolling guard, he will walk
from the ladder to the right wall, the collectable is just beyond the ladder, so
slowly approach the guard, and watch for when he walks over the collectable
(facing the wall). As soon as he moves away from the collectable, grab it and
get on the ladder and climb about half way up, you're out of his range now.
2). The first shooting guard; just by the ladder. Watch his shots carefully, as
soon as the bullet passes the ladder, immediately vault up the ladder and
head to the left, you'll walk over a red laser button that will trigger the laser

trap on the floor above (this one does NOT turn on and off, you'll have to do
that yourself). If you moved as soon as it was safe to; you'll have made it to
the ladder in time, climb halfway up to avoid his bullet, then immediately head
back down to grab the other collectable by the ladder and get back on before
you're shot.
Make sure you don't get shot, the level will restart if you do!
3). Once you're on the ladder, you notice a moving guard on the platform
above to your left, notice he's walking back and forth over a green button, that
button disables the laser trap ahead.
The dreaded laser beam, and the FBI agent guarding the off switch.
Get as close as you can on the platform and wait for the guard to turn to the
left wall, and as soon as he walks over the green button, get off the ladder, hit
the button, and run over the ladder to the other side of the platform, you'll
have to be very quick in this bit as the guard does not spend long facing the
other way.
4). Now the laser beam has been dealt with, you can run to the exit door and
pick up the last collectable along way. Congratulations, you've completed level
1!
9. First Impact Official Walkthrough
Freedom...well, almost.
Level 2 – Hillside
1). Once again, you'll start off at the bottom of the level. This level is a lot
more challenging than level 1, and timing is crucial.
Immediately head up the ladder in front of you and stand on the edge of the
platform to the right, watch the guard and wait for when he gets near the
double ladder ahead and immediately drop down, collect the sheep, and get
on the double ladder and out of his range before he comes back. You will
have to be quite quick as the guards' speed on this level has been increased.
2). Like with level 1, you now have to time yourself carefully, this guard shoots
every three seconds. As soon as the bullet passes over the ladder, head up
the ladder and immediately run to the ladder to your left, the path ahead is
blocked by a barricade so you'll need to use the ladder in front of you to climb
up and over it. Climb to the top of the ladder but stay there to avoid the bullets
above being shot from another guard at the left end of the platform. Like
before, wait for his shot to pass you then you can either head to your right and
reach your spaceship or head to the left to collect the other two sheep.

3). In this instance, we're going to go after the other two sheep. Once you get
up the first ladder to the highest platform, head to the left and go down the
second ladder straight away, collect the sheep on your right.
The next bit also involves some precise timing.
Watch the guard, as soon as his bullet passes the sheep, drop down on to the
platform, collect the sheep, and drop down again, you're now back where you
started. Simply follow steps 1 & 2 to get back up to the final platform.
4).Head for the spaceship, you've done it, congratulations!

Hints & Tips
Ladders are the safest part of the map, you can stay on them for an
infinite period of time and not be damaged by any enemy!
You don't have to obtain the collectables to complete the game. (But
you'd be cooler if you did.)
Be careful of the first laser beam in level 1, it'll trigger after three
seconds, then you'll have another three seconds before it comes back
on again.
The patrolling guards never leave their pattern, so once you master
their route, you should find getting past them fairly straight forward.
