Great game, maybe a little too difficult for me, because I didn't manage to escape, but for some others it might be actually easy :) I loved how I could look over my shoulder to see where the alien is, it made the game a little scarier.

I enjoyed the narrative around this :D gives it a truly special friendly vibe :)
Really good game. Loved the idea. Didn´t manage to escape. But that is ok.:) I love unforgiving games. Will try it for sure again later.
Beautiful graphics, good sound design made a great atmosphere in this game. The best moment was when i missed the alien boi by just a little margin and he just passed me by like usain bolt and touched my soul :D Good runner :)
This was a lot of fun! Couldn't put it down until I escaped :) And it is cool to see that there is somebody else who took on the "first contact" a little differently like we did :)
It is difficult, but for me it hit the "hard but enjoyable" spot just right. It was a fun challenge where every time I played it I got a little farther, so it was rewarding. I think I spent around 25 minutes playing it.
One thing that was a bit frustrating was the first alien. You have to hit them with either the first or second stone, and there is a hill in the way that makes it pretty hard. So if this first guy was a little slower, or the hill was not so much in the way, first time players would probably find it a little bit more enjoyable.
Nice runner, although it's annoying that stone can hit hills instead of aliens, so depending on where alien is it can be almost impossible to win. Good controls, matches theme and kinda fun to play.
