Very cool game ! If you're interested in playing our game, here's the link: https://astral-creation-studio.itch.io/your-princess-is-in-another-dimension

a well put together game, it feels nicely polished. Love the concept of it, even if i don't see how it fits with the theme of this jam.

It's cute and quirky, aesthetically pleasing. Well done :d

Now that was unexpected... With the two dimensions AND the duality of watching and abducting... But oh well, thx for trying my game! Can´t take too much credit for the style because it´s almost exclusively Kenney assets ;D.

great game!

Interesting game loop and good progression (power ups and the change in scenery/gameplay but I notably like the thesis themeing with the chapters as progression)!
More content than I thought there would be.
Good stuff!

OMG!  I loved how I abducted things "for science" and ended up getting $1390 in cold, hard Alien cash!  Fun game, I love the concept!

Very cool as the humans would say.  Enjoyed the mechanics and whimsy.

Controls could be a little more responsive, early response feels a little sluggish.  And portal could be a little quicker to switch you over.  Would be cool if you had certain targets to observe in each research tier too.

Overall, thought it was great, well done on finishing a game for the jam!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Certain quests/goals were actually one of the things that were cut because of time issues.

Yo nice! At first i  was super confused (maybe make the portal react faster or give an additional visual trigger) but it was super fun. And it`s easily to expend on. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!

Pretty cool game! I like the loop: abduct, sell, upgrade, and repeat xD. I think the UI could be better though, like the fonts you used for the aliens, but still, cool concept! Good job!

It's really a great job for your first jam! Fun mechanics, though it's kind of confused at really first place, but after I run into the protal and the arrow, and then I start to hunt human beings, and then the money start to run out if I stay in the Earth for too long, you get so many good points to combine around, the basic close game loop is done. Great job!
