Things I liked:

The gameplay:

The attack mechanic was very cool, and very engaging once I understood it.

The graphics:

You really made Emcee Flesher's artwork shine.

The level design:

The map was really well made, and really made me feel like I was on an elevated research station.

The premise:

The premise was very on theme and was a really cool idea.

Things I disliked:

The movement:

The movement was very fast, which made avoiding accidentally falling off an edge very hard, and it also hurt the scary feel of the game.

Things that you could do to improve the game:

Add some ambience:

Adding some background sounds could really up the creepy factor. Groaning metal as the station heats up, creepy paulstretches, ect.

Slowing down walking speed:

Slowing down walking speed to a labored walk and adding some heavy footstep sfx could really boost the claustrophobic feel.

Synopsis:

Very cool game. The feel was very engaging, and the gameplay was really fun.

Thanks for your entry. :)

Very interesting idea which also fits the theme of the jam.  The game manages to tense the player despite the cute sprites. Your game is  good at creating a scary atmosphere of an abandoned space station with lighting effects and the cool heat wave shader. I don't like the way aliens attack you, i would prefer that they pounce at you or just dash at you and attack. Falling of the ledges also didn't make much sense to me in this game but i understand that you wanted to add a challenge to the game so i respect that. Also i got stuck at some point in the game, i think i need some keycard or somethinmg but i couldn't find it.  Overall it's a pretty good game for a jam. Good job!!

Very impressive entry! Falling off of the map is super punishing and I do wish you could toggle between walk speeds as I would frequently just fall off due to the fast walk speed and lighting. It was also a little awkward at first figurine out if I was close enough to interact with a console. Combat is neat and I enjoyed the telegraphing you put into the enemy attacks. I am not sure what one of the pickups did but other than that probably one of the cooles games I have seen submitted yet.

This was a really fun experience! I think the menu and GUI were done very well - however, more visual indication of what was happening and what consoles were etc. would have been nice. 

I also think the firing animation should have been more useful and show where the bullets were going (though that was done slightly by the alien damaging animation) - however, that and other small fixes cannot be done in a jam-like environment with such a short time. Given the time of the jam - this was very impressive!

This is one of the better jam submissions I've seen on Itch lately. It is still very rough around the edges, but given its large scope and short deadline, that can be pardoned.

Cool game!

I liked all the shaders, but I had to disable the heat shader in settings because it was making the game lag. I enjoyed spamming the left mouse button shooting aliens. Tried holding it, but it seemed to shoot a lot slower (about 1–2 shots per second).

The fast movement in combination with being able to fall was frustrating, but I guess that's part of the challenge. The spinning earth on the title screen was interesting! I didn't get what the pickups did (except for armor; found that out after paying more attention to the health bar), but figured they did something good (perhaps more visual feedback would help?). The heat damaging the player slowly gave an intense feeling to the game.

Thanks for submitting the game!
