The concept is nice, but the game really lacks some background music.

Interesting idea! I don't think I fully understood the rules and how to prevent a game over, but I can see how this game would be really fun with a little more polish :)

Thanks! In the end I didn't have time  to polish out some of the parts of the game to make them more understanding so I had cut corners a lot

This a cool little experience - although it was super tough! Would have loved it if it was a bit more forgiving but other that I thought it was a cool little experience. Big well done!

Glad you think so! Play testing was made one hour before the game I had to submit the game so I decided on more difficulty then balance, wish I had some time to iron it out.

Glad you liked it, wanted to add my own sounds for once but didn't make it this time.

Nice premise for a game, just think it needs a bit more balancing to speed things up a bit more. I kept running out of aliens too quickly :D. Maybe a choice to spawn new aliens, or new planets.
Well done putting this together in the time, and nice take on the theme.

Thanks, really proud of the theme on this one but the idea was getting harder to visualize as time went on

Neat game, gets pretty stressful when you have loads of planets, well done!

Good, that's the point :D, but yeah I wish I did a bit more balancing on this one

Nice Game and I love the concept. The only thing missing is a bit more polish. But the game is pretty decent!
