The way those aliens speed up when you approach is scary! I scrambled to shoot the first one :D The growing part seems underused right now, crops could give some kind of bonus, heal or something. Did you have other ideas you didn't have time to implement? As others wrote, using the hook is limited by the view. Once you know the map you can roughly aim in the right direction, but it is dangerous when aliens are around! Nice entry overall, it feels like a complete package.
