Challenging game. I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

The fact that uncontrolled astronauts could easily mess everything up a lose a level is pretty annoying. But other than that, I had a lot of fun playing this. Levels are quite interesting.

Wish there were some sound/music, but you're aware of that at this point ;)

I couldn't seem to get my character to jump high enough to reach the first door. Did I miss something?

Great idea and presentation. Those little buggers running off was awful annoying XD. Still, I got a good laugh out of it. Great job.

I liked it, not having control of the other 'nauts makes really does help it fit with the theme. I must admit I was losing my patience a bit with the third level!

Very cool presentation! The 4-bit palette and parallax on the background are a great touch!

Neat idea! there's some interesting puzzle mechanics here

Very cool idea! I really like the puzzle aspect combined with the fact that the aliens had their own minds when you weren't controlling them. It was fun to have a herd of minions running around! If there were power ups or buttons that would slow them down on occasion it would be helpful. I killed a lot of those poor guys on the 3rd level :(  Thank you for sharing! Well done!

The lack of sound is a bit of a bummer, but aside from that this is a really fun game! I like the fact that each guy runs off and does his own thing when not in control. It might have been cute if they were dogs or something else that wasn't very obedient!

Definitely fits the theme very well, but it can quickly get frustrating. I really like the visuals tho, and I am a fan of the idea :)

Perfectly embodied "out of control" because I was yelling at the astronuts during the 3rd level. I honestly felt like I was loosing my mind towards the end!

Illustrations were great. I loved the little guys- I  even named mine Shawn.

I did loose one of my little guys during the 3rd level when I died, but I did manage to still complete it. I think there are a few bugs to work out, but I would be interested in an expanded game. I can't imagine how difficult it could be with 5 or 6 of the little guys!
