As someone who draws characters a lot, this approach is coming at the problem of “I want to design an alien” from such a vastly different direction than I would ever think of, and I absolutely love it. All these designs turned out great! I love these martians!
What an incredibly cool thing to get a peek at. Thanks for sharing! Good luck with the rest of the project!

wow! This is gorgeous! The idea is a lot of fun. I feel like maybe the other guys you pick up should be a different colour – I sometimes got mixed up about which I was controlling. This definitely could use a cursor that really stands out. I lost my mouse a lot. But it's a fun idea and the fact that you managed this art over a weekend is wild! Congrats!
Honestly, considering your constraints, this is really interesting and fun! I have bounced off of much more polished games – not even jam games but actual finished games – faster than I did with yours. I think having the walls damage you is a bit brutal for the first level (and confusing since your rope can go through them) but otherwise I feel like this had way more to it than I expected when I loaded it up. Great work!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
The art (and animation) was all done in Photoshop. I think I used one of the Kyle Webster inking brushes for most of the line work but, honestly, we were working so quickly I kind of lost track of it! I did rough out the first thumbnail of the idea in Procreate, though!
