This could be a endless remake. You could do Canadian Fishing Simulator next! You did an amazing  job on your assets!

Agreed with everyone saying the window size of the game was way too big, I didn't even notice where I had to put the humans. And I'm not sure if there is anyway to fight off the drones? or do I have to let them kill me every time lol. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! It seems like most people were confused on how to play, you aren't the only one, you can make the drones explode by hitting them with your burger :) For my next game jam I will definitely figure out the window resolution problem and also include a tutorial/ be more clear about how to play. Cheers!

I really like the way you used the limitation lol XD
For the game, I was a little confused on what I should do, I think some guiding texts or tutorial would be super helpful!

Great Job! :D

Very good at using the limitation.

Great idea!
Managing both the «prey» and the drones was pretty fun.
Loved the music, kudos to your friend.

A bit of feedback:
The game resolution was too big for the frame itch provides. I encountered problems with seeing the full viewport.
- It wasn't clear at first that you need to drag americans to the big UFO. I was trying to insert a poor gringo into the little UFO until I stumbled upon a bigger one 😅

I love the use of the limitation, it's very creative :] However, I also had trouble with the screen size xP Interesting mechanic!

I agree with the below. Im not sure wtf im doing. I grabbed the guys, moved them around, put them to the ufo, and the drone, nothing happened i kept losing.

Also the game size is way to large, it doesnt fit on my screen, had to continually scroll.

+1 for your description on "use of the limitation" it made me lol.

Developer

Valid, the score and health are at the top of the screen so they are easy to miss if the window is not fully expanded.  Also, sometimes the drones spawn inside of you lmao

It might be just me, but I was not able to ever “fish” any ’murican. It was hooked on the burger, swinging around, but never abducted. Did I miss something?

Developer

haha sorry if the instructions were unclear - you have to bring the 'muricans over to the other UFO to beam them up

That’s OK, I was blind to the clear(er) instructions under the game window: “Move with WASD or arrow keys…”. Oops!
