Game art was nice and cohesive, I liked the style and thought everything visually communicated pretty well. The music is somewhat suspenseful which I think goes well with the tough gameplay. Although I had trouble deciding if an incoming dessert was alien food or space debris since everything so far had been chickens or metal junk. lol
The game was a bit difficult for me. I found the difficulty was due mainly to two things: having to stay at the same pace as the earth (hindered by various things) and being handed lot of controls/info at once. If expanded further, it would benefit from teaching a few concepts at a time in mini levels, because the game looks to be a nice combinations of mechanics but starts pretty tough for an intro.
Nice game! i like the idea of "save the earth"...
the only thing maybe to improve.. make white border on the small junk soo it's easy to see it...
GOOD JOB!
Interesting idea! it would be cool to see an in-game reason why you need to keep the alien on the ship. Maybe an ability to use to help protect Earth? Cool game!
I liked the concept and the art. The controls are a bit quirky and its a bit hard to really protect the planet but still had fun.
Good job :)
Game looks nice. I just didn't know what is going on and how to do it :(The wall of text in the tutorial didn't help. Sorry ;(
I like art and the way that controls works.
Sorry about that! We've updated the controls under the play window to hopefully make things clearer.
I really enjoyed the visuals, they look great! The music also really fits the gameplay and the controls feel responsive and satisfying, however the gameplay itself was somewhat confusing.
Cool visuals, didn't really understand how to play.
I thought this game was fun, but I didn't know which mode I was in.
The gameplay is complicated and hard to understand
its very fun to play, the music is also pretty good
One of the developers here - thanks for the feedback everyone and please keep it coming. It's been really insightful. We're planning on discussing it within the next couple days.
Didn't get it at first, but once I did I had fun with it! Love the art too it looks very original!
Very great mechanics, art, and sound. A tutorial that allows the player to replicate the actions mentioned would probably make it easier to understand but otherwise a great entry.
a really well polished game
Fun game! I agree with a lot of the other comments about the difficulty, but overall the mechanics are solid! Great entry!
At first I was a bit confused, but when I got into this game it was super fun! Also, the art style fit the theme perfectly and made this a great experience! Thanks :)
wow this is pretty! very difficult though :/
Game looks and feels quite nice however mechanics were kinda confusing. I did read the tutorial however I wasn't able to replicate some of the things it mentions.
I didn't quite understand the objective but the flying felt nice and I like the art style ;)
Felt the same.
The game is quite difficult to play. Switching between metal and food is hard, with the goals being too intense (food is too needed and earth doesn't really need to be protected.). It could be improved to be a really good game!
