I feel like I'm misunderstanding something. I can only use the mouse controls and wasd/space doesn't do anything. I can't move at all, and at best I can get one piece of metal, then time runs out. Are you supposed to unlock movement somehow?

Developer

WASD should allow the alien to move around? 

I am sorry to hear you were unable to actually play the game - but I am not sure what went wrong when you played it.

cute alien and serious Earthbound vibes with the second level. Very addictive

The art and theme is strong in this submission! I agree with the other commenters: there is not enough time for players to meaningfully progress.

I would like to see some direction indicators to help guide the player away from dead ends and towards scrap metal. The minimap is nice, but it doesn't show much more than the screen. It is also typical to move from left to right in most games, so I quickly lost much of my precious time in Level 2 by going to the end of the beach instead of towards the town. Players can be directed away from dead ends by trails of scrap, clear obstacles in the wrong direction, or a big arrow if nothing else works.

From one J.C. to another, though, nicely done!

Thanks for the feedback!

I think adding indicators really would have helped aswell, great idea!

Cute alien! I'd like a bit more time or to go faster, though

Cute little game. I kinda wish I would have a bit more time? 15 seconds was pretty tight. The volume resets when I start the second level I think. I can't test anymore because I am deaf now :')
Good job on the game!
