How does you game fit the theme?
The player is in a dark colony, but they aren't alone.
Since the other creature with them is an alien, humans as a race aren't alone in the universe.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all of the pixel art assets in the game.
I wrote all of the code myself.
All of the sounds are from the Freesound website and are under the creative commons license, except for the alien sounds which I made myself.

cool but short game loop
I loved the art and the effects and the game loop was fun. But it was VERY SHORT, Its a game jam game and the polish was great but it had 20 seconds of play time. It did a good job at replayability but it wasn't challenging enough for me to replay it much though. I just wish it had a little bit more space and some scale over time maybe a score system. Again I LOVED the art, and this game has a lot of potential if you had some more time and made it longer and more challenging.
I do know this is a game jam game and time is limited but it takes the phrase short and sweet and makes it so short you can barely taste the sweet.
But this game has a lot of potential.
very nice atmosphere and very cool fighting mechanic
Very cool! Loved the art and graohics and liked the fact it was so polished! Nice work!
It was short, but it sure felt polished :)
I only have one gripe ; it is a little annoying to go back to the main menu when you die, so maybe simply relloading the scene would have made the scene ?
Anyways, good job :)
Yeah, I probably should have. I did have the time for it so that's due to lazy development
Short but I really liked it, nice work. It felt very polished!
It's a good idea and the graphics is really nice but you should've made it longer
I would have if I had time, I was mostly focused on the polish.
Hey,
I really like the concept of the game, even though it is short.
The graphics are really nice, and it's really fun to play!
I like that you took the time to make it very polished and short, instead of adding a lot of stuff that does only half work.
Nice job!
Very short game but still enjoyable. I tried to beat it twice to see if it was randomized in some way and... it doesn't seem so? Or I had luck and it was twice the same xD
Liked the art style and the atmosphere, digged the lights and sound too, congrats!
The actual environment isn't randomized, but the position of the weapons box is.
Beautiful game design, and fun game style, loved the graphics!
If you don't mind, check out our game too. :) Thanks
Beautiful atmosphere and color grading for a game-jam game. Well done! 5/5 Game Design!
If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.

Nice atmosphere for such a short game. Great work!
Short game, but feels nice to complete something. Great to have the red arrow guiding you in these obscured vision games. Polished! Great potential!
Good concept that you can build on!
I liked the part with the spacebar to shoot the gun
Cool game, I enjoyed the level design mixed with the ambient lighting and the pixel art was cool. Something to improve on is the UI for me was a bit delayed? This could be a WebGL or my PC problem though! Good game overall, a great submission to this game jam. If you would be so kind to rate my game, but its entirely up to you :)

I really like the art and sound design. It really does a lot for selling the ship environment. The death animations were great too. Obviously it was over pretty quick, so more content would be nice, but I kind of see why you might not have had time to do much more with all the polish that you put into the parts you already have.
Really nice short game altogether, thanks for sharing it. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.
Great job, I feel like this could be the great basis for a rogue-like.
Loved the style: the among us animation, the alien that follows you, the way you shoot the alien. Good job
