An unusual game, in a good way! At first I couldn’t make it past the first area - I bubbled the aliens, stood on the red button but didn’t notice what happened due to a bad camera angle. I tried moving the box on the button and it didn’t do anything (since I’ve already stepped on it before, duh), which got me a bit confused. Then I re-read the description and realized what to do :)
The aliens felt both too hard and too easy at the same time - they almost surely kill you if they see you, but they have a very narrow viewing range. Maybe make them less strong but at the same time less dumb would make it more interesting to play?
The movement & camera angles made it a bit hard to navigate and orient sometimes.
I also couldn’t figure what to do in the end. I got the spaceship, sucked all the aliens, but nothing happened after that. The spaceship also sinks in to the ground if you fly over empty space for too long, and doesn’t get up ever again (1st screenshot).
I’ve also found a bug where the cow can glitch through the terrain (2nd and 3rd screenshots - before and after sinking; I’m pretty sure the cow didn’t just fall from the cliff, it was clearly sinking in the process).
Thanks for the feedback!
I was aware of these bugs but we didn't have time to fix, thanks for your feedback.
Downloads do not have the required files to run the game, just the executable.
What OS are you downloading for?
tried linux, then windows
I tested the Linux version hosted on the site and it works, just takes a bit of time to load. I’m not sure about Windows as I do not have a system to test on at the moment.
Odd, I don't get the needed files from the download...
Whoa ambitious game to bite off! Good job! Was there any inspirations for this game?
I sort of took inspiration from the 'shenanigan-like' gameplay of Donut County and Untitled Goose Game.
The game looks amazing and has a cool concept. Good job!
this is a neat game with a cool art style and some really unique controls and mechanics. I dont know if this is a bug but the checkpoints didn't work for me and i always had to restart on the first level. The web build was a bit laggy but overall it was a great game!
Did you stand on the checkpoint to activate it?
the aliens arent coming back. promise.
;)
Great level design and theme. It's quite a funny idea! Not sure if there's an ending, but I found the last pickup and it was especially rewarding.. take that aliens!
Yep that's the end. Also I noticed that there is a minor problem with the textures in your screenshot. What browser were you using?
it's a cropped screenshot but my chrome ver is: Version 114.0.5735.199 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Its fun
Fun(ny) idea and very polished look!
love the graphics!
Liked the mellow feel of it... good luck with your entry :)
