I liked that you didn't just reverse the original game mode but also added a little twist with the "suspended" aliens. It increased the challenge but also my enjoyment ! Great job ! 

Nice job! I had fun with this one, despite its simplicity. It has a similar gameplay loop to Root Beer Tapper, actually. One element you could take from that game is making it so enemies don't fall back down unless you really overload them with bullets. For example, in Root Beer Tapper you can serve a customer but they only get pushed back a bit, not always all the way off the bar. If the aliens shed some of the bullets off of them over time it would cause the player to either fill them with bullets or juggle which ones they're shooting at. 

Just some rambling thoughts I had while playing :)

I played several rounds and I enjoyed the subversion in this game. My one big critique is that I felt I was being thwarted by having invaders in front of another invader thus making it impossible to take them both out at once. Otherwise I really enjoyed it as a arcade game. Well done!

Very polished, intuitive, and fun! Excellent job! I really like the visual of the bullets attaching to the enemies and weighting them down!

That was fun! I liked how you seamlessy communicated the tutorial without breaking the flow of the gameplay

Good game!

Genius that the bullets "pull" the enemies down, makes the game so much more interesting

Nice idea on the arcade classic. Nice and chill music that went along with it too, and the art looked similar to the arcade classic as well. 

108 score! Fun game! Nailed roles reversed! A bit addicting, I won't lie! :D Mass alien exodus was also a great mechanic stirring things up a bit!

SFX and music on point! Great job!

It is a really fun game! Sounds are soo good, my ears say thank you :) 

Simple and quite fun. The enemies bullet are not frightening but their number is their strength.

Very charming and neat idea, I wouldn't have thought of taking space invaders in this direction. Good execution all around. Well done!

Simple and fun. I managed to only have one escape on my first alien exodus!

Super fun game !

I used my trustworthy spam-justsu powers in both up and space at once to get more shots out quicker, even though the aliens ended up besting me after a while I feel like I did pretty good :

(PS: the screenshot doesn't appear to load for some reason so here's a link https://imgur.com/a/rtsdg4L)

Now my arm hurts because of all the spamming haha !

It was very fun still and well paced too, with those resting moments and the mass exodus rushes.

There is some luck element involved given that some times the aliens keep spawning at opposite ends or worse spawn aligned, especially with those BBBs (promptly named Big Blue Bois by me right about now), as they take a lot of shots and don't fall fast it was usually hard to catch them when they spawned on top of each other.

I also wonder what happens when shooting while inside an alien, it felt like it didn't make them fall any faster which often allowed a lot to pass.
I don't expect this shield sacrifice to be part of the code but I'm wondering if it was just a feeling or if these shots really did nothing.

Had a smile the whole time so great job anyway !

Score: 93

The different sizes requiring more hits to bring down was very cool. If you didn't have time to deal with a big ship or there were lots of little ships to deal with you could just tag them once and deal with them later, very neat idea.

Good job!

Fun game! And a really creative use of the theme of the jam :) 
Maybe the big aliens could escape if you shoot them a few times but not enough to bring them down. I think right now if you shoot them a few times, they stay in place or move down slowly. I don't know, just an idea.

Great job!

At the start, I also though of Space Invaders, but couldn't come up with a concept for the 'Role Reversal' theme. This is a nice idea to fit the theme and very polished and unique concept. Good job!

Does exactly what it says on the tin

Simple, and enjoyable 

Good idea.I love the mechanic you get stun instead of dead when being hit.I's a bit weird the enemies appearing overlap with player.Maybe a switch to shoot horizontally is also a plan to consider.In that situation the enemies you shot back can hit with the other enemies that leads to some play strategy.

very fun, i love the physics and kinda adicting :D
