It would be interesting to see what this game would look like after a month of development. I liked it, but not much(
We have it another shot and now it has a Steam page!

Very cute! The tactile nature of grabbing and placing workers is satisfying in its own right
Grabbing and placing workers is something we also really enjoyed! We kept working on this one and now it has a Steam page!

Won with 13 seconds left to spare! Amazing game, the art was incredible and so cool how you were able to do so much without much animation, just rotation and position changes. Loved the theme, super cool.
We looked at this little game and evolved it during the past months. We think it's really fun! Now it also has a Steam page!

Fun concept, and interesting use of the limitation. Had a great time playing!
We also had fun creating this game. Actually, we kept working on it during the past 10 months. It now has a Steam page too! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
The game play is just fab!!!
I loved the concept and the gameplay. I enjoyed every second of the building process.
Kudos to the dev-team!
It took some time but created a more refined and expanded version of this initial idea. Now it has a Steam page! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
Very cute! The concept for the story and the art style is very cute! The gameplay is kinda simple, wish there was more too it, but hey I managed to win so I'm happy with that! Well done!
Thank you! Happy to hear you've won! Let us know your best time!
We also thought there could be more to the gameplay so we spent time on refining and expanding the initial idea. Now it has a Steam page! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
That's amazing! If you ever need help with art, I'm happy to help! I love creating assets.
Fun gameplay, amazing visuals.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed our little game :)
Thank you for the encouraging feedback! We kept working on this game and now it has a Steam page! Hope you'll like this version too: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
Really well stylized and great atmosphere!
Thanks! Erik, our artist really did a great job in my opinion too!
We kept working on this little game and it has evolved into something pretty cool and fun. Now it has a Steam page too! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
Thank you for the feedback! During the past 10 months we kept working on this game and evolved it a lot. Now it even has a Steam page! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
The art is perfect for this game and it really has a compelling use of the limitation for the purposes of the story. I can see a full fledged game being made from this concept for all the history buffs out there.
Thanks for the kind words!
We took your advice to the heart! We spent many months on refining and exploring the core concept and now it has a Steam page!

That's awesome to see! I gave you a cheeky wishlist, I wish y'all the best <3
Thank you! <3
It was super fun, ambiance and sounds are really immersive, controls works perfectly i had a real good time playing it !
Thank you! Glad you had fun!!
We also had a great time so we thought it was worth exploring and evolving this concept more. Now it has a steam page! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
That's a super fun game. Nice concept. I do hope the alien is happy with my pyramid.
Thanks! They most probably are! ;)
They are happy and they want more! We evolved this small concept into something bigger and now it has a Steam page!

Fun little optimization idle game, I didn't realize there was a timer until I had already produced like 40 bricks and no pyramid, so I quickly launched all of my little guys into the pyramid building area and finished with like 3 seconds to go. I think you should totally continue development, getting this refined with upgrades, levels, and a deeper story would be great. Very cool concept.
Haha, glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback, it's really valuable!
We indeed continued the development and explored the idea further. The game now has a Steam page!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
Super fun! Only wish there was more levels/progression or at least more to do while waiting. The presentation was amazing which was a huge plus. Great job!
Thanks so much! You're right, needs more content. Hopefully we can add more in the future!
We spent about 10 months designing and evolving this little idea. Now it has a Steam page and it's called Earthlings!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508530/Earthlings/
Awesome game love it so much. It would be great if you add some kind of points to buy more workers.
Thank you so much for the feedback! We have lots of ideas how we could improve the gameplay. Your suggestion was one of them. Unfortunately we had no time left to develop these features :( Maybe we will continue development later.
This idea is something we added to a larger version of this little concept which now has a Steam page!
