It's a challenging game and has some frustrating moments, such as the water bottle section in level 2 and the boss battle in the final level. The player dropping like a rock also made the game harder than I expected. However, I love the art, the game's concept, and the ending. It was satisfying to see the human prevail in the end. 

Great job on the game!

This game is so good!!

The idea for the concept is excellent and fits the theme so well! It constantly reminded me of this old Cartoon Network musical short about Ed, Edd n Eddy getting shrinked, it's called "Incredible Shrinking Day".

The feeling of being incredibly tiny and having to traverse your own room is very well delivered.

The art is simply gorgeous and top level. Props for that!

However it does feel like the gameplay and programming parts needed a bit more time and polish. It's incredible that you managed to make 5 entire levels for the jam! But maybe I would have enjoyed more one single very polished level.

It's a concept that can absolutely be expanded into a full fledged game. I enjoyed this game a lot.

Ah, yes, and the detail of the alien eyes following the mouse was a nice cherry on top that made me giggle after completing the game.

Congratulations to all the members of the team!

This is a nice game. The story is also funny. I did not expect that final part.

But it took me a bit figure the character movement to move better. I don't keen on slow moving in a big open space.

However, this is a nice work.

The aliens look creepy af, but the gameplay is neat and I enjoyed beating the game. Your size being your hp is a nice touch :)

Had no right to steal the benga. This art is disturbingly so freaking good.

Very cool game! Awesome art, looks very pretty but also very fun. :D And the levels being different everyday objects/boardgames that are floating around by the alien magic is super cool.

Cool game! The art was funny and the setting was bizarre and entertaining, great job with the creativity! I liked this game a lot!

Super-funny game and total chaos in the bossfight at the end. Good job!

I think I have to give this full marks for creativity?

This is something straight out of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I thought it was interesting that the more 'damage' you take the better you are at platforming, that's a really neat twist.

There's some minor issues with the settings and some of the nodes (don't worry, it didn't factor into my rating). From what it looks like, the stretch mode was disabled, so the UI elements didn't scale properly in full screen. It looked like mirroring was disabled on the parallax background, to get the full effect set mirroring to the resolution of the background sprite. And the bullets in the boss fight appear to be children of the boss/player, so they move with their origin rather than as independent objects. Again, this isn't a huge deal, just something to watch out for next time.

Overall, this is a pretty strong entry, great work!

Now /this/ game is what makes game jam fun. My partner laughed at the alien's face lol. Complete banger on the weird combination of creative mechanic, chaotic idea, and good execution. Cool game all around, thank you for this! :)

Nice little platform-runner, and loved the art (those aliens look high as f**k :D). There seemed to be a couple bugs (background doing weird things on firefox, and when fighting the end-boss, my shots moved when i moved my alien, making it quite easy), but overall cool game. Love how you end up happy ratatouilling the aliens ;)

Loved how disheveled the aliens look! Runnin' as fast as I can away from those guys. Nice job!
