That's such an original and brilliant concept for this theme ! The execution was really good : it lacked some music but the rest was really solid. Congratulations =) !

Cool! Fun gameplay, smart concept and great art. I feel like some fast-paced music would also help the atmosphere of the game. Nice job!

I would love to have the ability to create a cool music like the one from your game but I'm really bad at that. On top of that I left it for the last minutes and could not make anything good to put on the game! :(

But thank you so much for playing!! Glad you liked it! :D

I actually enjoyed your game, really liked the idea. I just have some feedback if you wanna update it after jam...

bullets can go through the buildings and it makes it a little easier to kill aliens.

there is a bug that humans can't move around some times.

there is no cooldown time for memory eraser and I can spam it.

and also infinite fire rate for the laser gun which I can spam so fast.

after the game end, you can still shoot the gun and if you use your memory eraser the screen goes white and the score can't be read.

is this real?

Ooops! Seems like I got more bugs than features in my game! :X

I will for sure update it after the jam to leave a fun and a little more refined game in my library! Thanks a lot for the suggestions and for playing!

Another thing I would like to add to this, being able to use the memory eraser AND gun at the same time is very overpowered.

And good job on the high score, I have been trying but can't seem to get past 200

Good game, one thing that I think could be improved though is making the indicator of the direction of the aliens just slightly more prominent, it could be pulsing or something. I also really liked the concept, it is very unique compared to some other things I have tried. 186 high score. Theres a screenshot in the post you made
