Great job, I like the sound and visuals a lot.

rlangewi 2014-08-25 03:04

Very clean aesthetic, good work!

disdanes 2014-08-25 03:05

Really liked how the people got angry when you didn't select the right destination. Very beautiful game! Took a bit to figure out I could look around more of the map.

burgerdare 2014-08-25 03:06

it feels a little like a bland Hidden Object Game, but the visuals were well enough stylized to keep me involved for a little while. Really a cute setting you've made, it's just a shame that it doesn't feel like there's much to do in it.

Beautiful graphics and smooth movement! Fun take on the classic memory matching game. As a suggestion, maybe you could consider making it time based or something? Overall, well done.

gillenew 2014-08-25 03:14

I liked the clean look of this graphic, and also colors :)

intelligentbean 2014-08-25 03:15

Wow these aliens seem super angry lol. I love the style of this. I would like to see this when you are totally finished with it.

kenrickrilee 2014-08-25 03:19

I *love* the art! I'm really bad at the game though, so the aliens spend most of their time cursing at me :P

huntthewumpus 2014-08-25 03:20

I like the visual style of this game :)

MattHartley 2014-08-25 03:42

Really nice graphics :D

korigame 2014-08-25 04:21

Visuals are really well done, especially for 48 hours! I also really enjoyed figuring out how to play - it was sort of an ah-ha! moment. Thanks for playing my game too :P

fserb 2014-08-25 07:07

gorgeous graphics!

cornedor 2014-08-25 07:11

Nice game, the controls are sometimes a little bit confusing tough, it also took me a while to understand how it worked. Still very nice.

nicotuason 2014-08-25 09:48

Lovely art and animation, reminds me of Pocoyo. But the game is really missing something without that rocket.

drhahn 2014-08-25 13:10

Liked it, so much character on those aliens :D

cultofmonkey 2014-08-25 18:57

Lovely style - would be great on iPad

laremere 2014-08-25 19:35

The art is fantastic and the game play is functional. I think if you made the game expand as you go so there are more planets to consider, and something to spend your money on the game would be really good. Like highlyinteractive, it could fit the mobile / tablet space very well. I was a bit sad when I didn't actually see a little spaceship flying around like the continue screen suggests, as that would further strengthen the game's overall theme.

I liked the realization and the taxi idea but was a little bit disappointed that it was just a kind of "click the good picture" game. Nice job anyway.

capsizedmoose 2014-08-26 22:24

sweet graphics! :D

lissar 2014-08-27 00:28

Slick visuals! Was a bit confusing at first to figure out what was going on.

alvivar 2014-08-27 07:06

The visuals are great. Solid animations.

colapsydo 2014-08-27 08:55

Once you know the galaxy the taxi job becomes easier.
I really enjoyed the aliens expression.
Also, nice work on the graphics, flat and efficient.

phocker 2014-08-28 04:02

this was a very simple game that fit the theme well. great job

vaelzan 2014-08-28 07:29

Simple game but amazingly polished! Really loved the aesthetic, particularly the amount of character the aliens conveyed and the stuff orbiting around the planets. Could easily see myself playing much longer if there was a little more to do as the game progressed. Very nice work :)

zkenshin 2014-08-30 13:35

Good visual style. Shame the rocket didn't make it in, but nice entry. :)

gameproducer 2014-08-31 16:14

I tried cliking planets but nothing happened :| I would have wanted feedback about what's going on... sorry, couldnt rate for this reason.

raphy 2014-09-02 22:28

Great job in the execution, kindda simple but still :)

dusho 2014-09-05 18:53

clean visuals, nice game

dookie 2014-09-06 16:22

Awesome, minimalistic game. The graphics and sound are top notch. I was super confused at first, just saw those popups and couldn't figure out what to do.. but then I may just be slow :P

local-minimum 2014-09-06 18:03

I must admit I was a little disappointed that there was no little critter as main character, but after that disappointment it seems like a really nice game to port for touch device suitable from quite young age. One way of tuning the difficulty would be if aliens only showed where they wanted to go for a brief time. There were also some dialogs that never got removed.
To sum up, a really nice start for a game!

nicepenguins 2014-09-07 13:49

Very cool the mood is great ! The camera movement is a little bit frustrating. I've got a strange bug, some dialog boxes were staying in the game.

hbocao 2014-09-07 22:53

Cool! Feels like match 2/memory kinda games. Beautiful art!

javadocmd 2014-09-08 21:54

Not a bad little game given the time constraints. Love the art style and the character design of the aliens!

I super-confused myself the first couple times I tried to play this though. If you get an assignment, and then click on several wrong planets in a row, you wind up getting multiple new assignments. So as someone is trying to figure out the game, suddenly your map is scrolling around randomly giving you new assignments that you can't possibly click on fast enough. It gets really out of hand! Seems like the game needs to take measures to ensure you only have one assignment at a time.

I also would have liked some alternative scrolling controls. Mouse-edge scrolling is really hard to use when you're playing a non-full-screen game, so enabling some WASD and/or arrow keys would have been nice.

This is a great start for a very cute game!

conflictivelabs 2014-09-11 03:55

Simple yet fun! At first it was a bit confusing but then I got the gist of it. Great entry!

lokarunith 2014-09-11 18:17

Cute game, I like the clean graphics and simple aproach.

sogomn 2014-09-11 18:54

Nice!

tosic 2014-09-11 19:13

Very good and innovative idea, I like the sounds, and it is humorous too!

dunin 2014-09-11 19:16

too simple gameplay (and little bugs) for me. But nice looking and good idea for the theme.
(I like start screen, why the ship isn't in the game...)

iamacoconut 2014-09-11 19:59

Maybe add some instructions, because it took me a while to figure out what to do, and got a bunch of aliens started showing that kept getting angry at me! When I figured it out, the game was actually pretty good, and I really liked the graphics!

badlydrawnrod 2014-09-11 20:57

The art is beautiful, stunning even, but it looks like time got the better of you in developing the gameplay.

(Tell your son he should be proud of himself as his game is very well put together)

barryrowe 2014-09-12 01:23

Nice work. This looks really smooth. Audio is nice. It is also easy to tell what you should do. Good work.

xrm0 2014-09-14 11:52

Nice

hypnohustla 2014-09-14 17:26

Nice and simple. Love the aesthetics. Also love the fact that you and your son both made a game. Keep it up :)
