Game's Take on the Theme
The UFO has a spinning saw attack, and the player spins and rolls in defense. The levels circular shape aslo keeps both the player and boss spinning around each other.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
yes 100%

I like the aspect of the game the visuals are cool and mechanics feel solid, the overal fun factor is really high, I find some part where my framerate was a bit lower, but Im running a toaster so its fine, its something local. I rate graphics, fun, control and music the most, but all is great really, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!
Rated! ;) Funny cute graphic style!
Thank you if you rate my game as well.
All the best, keep it up!
What a goofy game.
The audio is absolutely spectacular, sounds like it comes from a YTP or an abridged series. The visuals definitely help to further sell the game's goofiness while being decently made assets by themselves. However, the frame rate isn't very consistent and often dips. (I played the game on Windows 10)
Despite that, this was still hella fun to play 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed the game. We definitely did not test this out on enough hardware varieties.
Got it to run finally. It was funny and I like the shooting mechanics. Good job.
Woohoo that's a relief we are sorry it gave you so much trouble. I'm glad you enjoyed it hopefully worth the hassle haha.
Unable to run it on linux
Don't run it as the root user. (Or any game, Administrative access on your computer should be dealt with carefully.) Helpful hint, if an application complains about permissions, it's often because it's missing execute permissions, not because you don't have administrative right. (That's something I've run into personally.)
Try this: Download a fresh copy, Right click, go to properties, under permission enable execute as a program. Then double click the icon in the file manager.
Or if you prefer command line:
chmod 755 ./Downloads/AlienBaby_x86_64
./Downloads/AlienBaby_x86_64
Sorry for the issue! I bet that can get it working. :)
Sadly the game doesn't run without running it as a root user. Tried all of your steps. Used
chmod 755 ./Downloads/AlienBaby_x86_64
and then ./ was showing a permission error. Had to use sudo
Bummer. Thanks for trying! You can run the source code directly with Godot 4.3 if you know how to use it. https://github.com/Mushroom-Queen/AlienBaby
(You can clearly see the last git commit was before the voting period.)
great shooting sound choice lmao made me laugh, the animations were good. but one thing I would like to see added is a crosshair.
I'm glad you liked the sound effects they were fun to make. The game definitly needs a crosshair added the more I play it as well.
The ‘pewpewpew’ made me laugh xD
It’s fun to play a baby fight a huge UFO.
Thank you! It was really fun designing the alien baby, it was my first 3d model that I rigged. The sounds were definitely fun to make, our own voices with pitch and speed changes.
The gunshot sounds made me laugh! The boss attacks are cool, and the visuals are amusing. Overall, it's a really fun little game. Great job!
Very nice theme! The atmosphere really resembles a calm night on an open crop field. The corn stalks falling down made the arena kind of chaotic at times but it only added to the boss fight.
I was not a fan of how you lose the ability to move when you shoot since you have to move to dodge the boss' attacks. A crosshair/reticle would also help a lot since I kept missing the UFO. Overall, it has some fun elements but needs a bit more polish/playtesting.
Fun game. Visuals and sfx are good. Good take on the theme. Health bar for player would be nice. I see in a different comment you're showing it with the leafs, but I didn't notice that till now.
I'm glad you liked it, yeah we definitely need to add a health bar, the leaves aren't as visible as I'd hoped. Thank you for the feedback!
The grass makes it difficult to see up high up. Quality sfx almost makes up for it but the lack of quality music is disappointing. Should've added a plr health bar as I felt that the baby just sometimes keeled over and died. Fun game
It definitely needs some good background music, we crammed the sfx in just barely last minute haha glad you liked them. The leafs are it's health bar but I've noticed its not very intuitive a lot of people have had that issue so I think we will add in a simple health bar. Thank you for the feedback!
Sound effects are amazing. Pew pew.
Haha thanks we crammed those last minute, all our own voices with pitch modifications and whatnot.
Having the UFO churn up the grass was a nice touch :)
The camera controls made it a bit hard to fight the UFO when it's in the air.
I'll take that into account, I noticed the grass cuts into the camera some too. When its in meteor mode the ship shouldn't be visible but it should be easier to see in normal flying mode I agree. Thanks for the feedback!
I like that the game is unique. I also like that you have destroyable environment when the UFO cut the flowers. I think an indicator of the player's health would be appreciated. Still, I had fun.
There are leafs ontop of the players head indicating life but you are right I should have made it more visible. I think when we have time we will add a simple tutorial.
Interesting take on the theme, I'm not the biggest fan of the sound design (I like the alien noises, but the hum of the UFO gets pretty annoying). Overall, pretty fun
The more I play it myself I notice the hum, definitly a tweak ill need to make. Thank you for the feedback!
