Great job.! Loved how unique the mechanics were

What a creative concept!
Notes from gameplay:
- really like the music, chill and good loop
- pixelated text is harder on the eyes
- nice audio feedback with mouseover/click
- tutorial option is helpful, felt overwhelmed reading the commands on the itch page
- jump noise is super cute!
- would be nice to have less jarring visual feedback that you've selected an alien, didn't realize it was visual feedback at first, thought it was the game glitching
- oh wow this concept is really cool!
- am I supposed to bounce off myself? I don't think I have the timing skill for that. Can't figure out how to get past the tutorial level teaching about confirm orders. Keep falling on the jump to the platform with the eye.
- ah finally got the jump. Difficulty feels a bit overtuned for a tutorial.
- Browsed through the different levels and played a few. This is a really cool concept!
- maybe some extra bright hues or shadow behind the mushrooms to highlight they are interactive, I had forgotten they were and they seem to blend into the background versus standing out as interactive elements
Overall, I don't think I'm skilled enough to excell at this game, but for the right niche of players, this seems to have the potential to become very addictive! I could also see this being morphed into a couch co-op concept where each alien is controlled by a different player. Very creative and well-designed! The music was chill and unobtrusive, while the graphics leaned into the simple pixel style with a pared-down and visually-pleasing color palette. Great work. I could definitely see this expanded out into a bigger project!

The Arcbow AnthologyThanks for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it. I totally agree with you about the jump in the tutorial, it is unnecessarily difficult for no reason, I found myself struggling with it when I was testing the game. I think changing the colour of the interactables is also a good idea. One of the major problems was that I didn't have enough time to make levels teaching the player about the game mechanics so the harder levels can seem a bit unfair and throw you in at the deep end. And thanks again for all the feedback I will keep it in mind when I update the game :D
Loved it - my favorite so far in the jam. The idea is good, the execution even better (and the graphic and sound design is really nice). It's challenging but not irritatingly so :). One -very minor - thing I would change: not have the interact and reset button next to each other (too easy to mess up during the game :))

GanymedeReally fun puzzle game! I was a bit annoyed when having to time gates between aliens. I wish there was an option to resume an oroder from the end, so they wouldnt mistchmatch when doing it myself again.
A few more mechanics, and you could make a lot of levels with this concept! I like it.
