Looks great and I enjoyed wondering around the world and the story so far...
I got into places by opening the gates and saw aliens flash up and disappear - however, I tried using the bomb but the game froze. I tried a few times after restarting, but no luck. So there were some areas I couldn't get into.
Still, I enjoyed playing it and it had some good ideas in there. Great job :)
Yeah, I was supposed to remove the bombs because they crash the game when you use them, but forgor. Thank you :)
This game is interesting. I like the idea of using aliens as the whole theming around aberration, cool idea! However, there are a couple issues: the game does not tell you that there is an ending, the only way to know is to go back to the people in the camp, which was kinda confusing for me. with that, there were also missing tree tops and hints that didn't really do anything? It's that one sing that says E + cursor = bomb, but it didn't work. The game also stuttered quite abit in seemingly random areas, I'm unsure as to why. Lastly, sometimes the way to go wasn't very obvious, which was kinda confusing. Overall, this is a pretty good go at a first game jam project, but has some strange flaws that make it harder to follow. Nice Job on your first jam game, though!
Yeah, I know. You gotta have to find out the ending yourself, and hopefully know to go back to camp when you are done. I should of added a couple more messages and stuff to let the player know. The missing tree tops is just a decoration, and the bomb is supposed to be used for the puzzles but just didnt work, so i added barrels to block them, but forgot to remove them fully. I wanted to add stuff like footsteps on the ground to kind of guide the player for where to go but forgot for some reason. Thank you :)
You're welcome! hopefully I didn't sound too harsh :)
Considering this is your first game jam game, I am impressed. My first one was definitely worse compared to this hahah. I like that the aliens disappear when you come close, makes them very mysterious
Thank you! I played your game Tsunami survivors, and it was really good! Much better than mine. Took me a few tries to win though
Fun game, I wish I could explode those pesky guards tho.
Me too, I wish I had more time to add some funny stuff to the guards when you beat the game but had no time, and thanks!
Nice game! It lag so much in the beginning of the game, but that might just be my crappy pc. The colour scheme also doesn't match, and the perspectives of the sprites are all over the place. In my opinion, this only adds to the charm of the game. The puzzle element is fun, and the pixel art really fits the style of the game. Overall a good job :)
Thank you :)
If the keys color can match the doors, that could be much easier for player to know how may puzzles solved and how many left. It also can lead the player twards the path you want them to follow, like the explosive barrels do. I think when you put player into a maze，you should avoid player to go trough a path that lead to nowhere or no feedback. I really like the spooky dispearing guy for it's a positive feedback.
Yea. Except I added the main story and gates and stuff on the very last day. Hoped I had more time. Thank you :)
Wow, cool game) One suggestion. I really lacked some SFX. Music is moderate and fits well, so it covers for lack of SFX. But for future, you can always use next resources to get free music/sounds https://pixabay.com/ https://www.beepbox.co https://freesound.org/
Great choice of granting superpowers at the end. Was fun to roam around. The game crushed, though, when I pressed E on a bomb)
My game is also about zone51 :D
I know, I just left the bombs instead of removing them, could of added sound effects with some spare time. I know your place is about place51 because I played it, and thanks :)
Nice work! :) I love the story and the alien art!
Thanks!
Cool game with lovely pixel art ! I kinda wished that there would be more puzzle gameplay involving the mazes instead of the exploding barrels clearing up a way for you directly, but I think that's just my preference. Zooming around and breaking everything at the end was fun too. Overall, I give it a ALIENS ARE REAL, PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO IGNORANT TO REALIZE IT / 10.
Thanks. I hope I had started 3 days earlier (the day the jam started) making the game, I would of gotten 3 extra days to figure out the bugs and add more stuff. Glad you enjoyed it though :)
Nice game! Especially like the ending!
Thank you! Me too
Pretty fun! I liked roaming around after beating the game, though I think the game froze after using too many bombs haha
Thank you :) and the game does crashe when you use the bomb items from the ground.
i love the ending
Me too
Very nice game music, works well with wandering through that forest! :)
Thank you! :) I think so too.
First and foremost I need to thank the barrel community manager for placing those exploding barrels in the exact right spot as to create a path for me to walk through (or was that the alien all along...!). Great choice of music, set the right atmosphere for the adventure! My friends are too dumb to not believe in aliens anyways, glad we camped 40 yards from Area 51 lol.
Overall some nice graphics, fairly straightforward game but neat little entry, great job!
Thank you for the funny comment! :] I can completely relate and agree!
If you want to know if i cheated in any way. I didn't. Just follow what i supposed to be the right way (edit the post to add the missing point changing the sense of my sentence, i didn't cheat at all ;))
oh
I guess i reach the end of the map. I was a bit stuck from there. What did i miss? I would like to know if aliens exist.
How you get up there
Just following an alien.
yeah I made it up there too, then I circled over the top to my friends again
I FOUND AN EASTER EGG! Cool game
Ayyy congrats! Thank you :)
This game is like all of your friends coming over and then working together on one project while having the time of their life.
Pretty basic, but a complete package with some decent polish.
And yeah the exploding barrels are nice :D
Let hope for more alien games!
Me too, and thank you!
aliens are real
😏
i had a hard time figuring out what to do. cool world you made though
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, I could of made some instructions, but I had no time, sorry
