Dropping from ceilings, and chest busting aliens... Most legit I've ever played! If it weren't for all the glitches... It would be freakin awesome.

This is pretty funny. Scream sound effect took me by surprise!

Hard to go wrong with a whack-a-mole game

Might be the best game of the Alien franchise.

I love the concept but it's really glitchy and confusing.

smilingcat 2014-04-29 01:44

Very nice graphics and atmosphere.

Thanks, guys! :D But yes, lots of bugs. Much glitching. I plan to fix up most of that and polish it up in the coming days.

Nice graphics, don't think I've yet to whack an alien

Good Work.. really impressive

Art is pretty sweet.

Whack-A-Mole :)
The game seems to have gotten stuck after a while, because nothing new happened.

The scream definitely makes it. Wish there was an easier way to start over than reloading the page, though!

That scream! Nice presentation. Definitely a little buggy though.

It's all fun and games until a chest burster flies into your face. Wacky idea, and good execution, only bug I came across was after wacking the Medical Hammer tm (great name) a few times in a row, no more patients came down.

Great idea!!!

timtipgames 2014-05-02 07:59

Very funny. Very bugged. ;)

cmaster 2014-05-04 11:08

Kinda funny.
Shame it tends to lock up.

Guessing most of the graphics are pulled from elsewhere?

Hi. Several bugs on mouse tracking. Really good mood.

Glitchy, but pretty good for the time. I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you want to check it out :) http://youtu.be/wBne0r55jPY

Cool idea.^^ I played several rounds :)

The most hardcore whack-a-mole game I've ever played! It's a diamond in the rough :P.

I went back and revised the hell out of the game over the last couple weeks; fixed lots of bugs and polished things up. Learned a lot. :) -> http://fortyseven.itch.io/whack-a-burster

Came back to link to the final version on GameJolt: http://gamejolt.com/games/arcade/whack-a-burster/30298/

It's still barely a game, but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. :)

fortyseven 2014-12-18 05:12

And I'm just realizing that it's probably the same build. I should have looked first. [Talks to an empty room.]
