Yeah alien! I liked getting the jump on dudes outta the vents! Really liked the visuals, but could have used more sound effects / some simple ambient music to add more to the atmosphere. Was a little confused about the controls, specifically whether you were actually supposed to be able to pull bodies or if it was just a glitch. Overall great work!
Glad to hear you liked my humble little game stjahns. Indeed, you were supposed to be able to slightly drag the bodies after you, but in hindsight the effect is far too weak.
Game installers are evil :(
FTL fan club! ;)))
Hi there, nice work for 48hours.
Most people here don't like installers, it would be great, if you could offer just a zip file with everything needed inside.
At first I thought that I need to avoid red rooms, but after few deaths I realized how to make a nest. I like that.
nice work...
Couldn't play it as AVG flagged up a warning. Almost certainly a false positive but seeing as we're supposed to post why we can't run something, that's why. Pop a zip up and I'll try again -- it looks really interesting!
Cool game, but kinda confusing to figure out exact objectives, and it seems cruel to have the player lose when your drone gets killed (or are you meant to drag other bodies back there?).
Why did the place explode? I am so confused. I thought it was quite a neat idea, but I thought the collision made trying to play it quite cumbersome - my xenomorphs kept getting caught on stuff, and taking corpses back to a heat zone was always way too tricky. Still, I liked the game - keep it up! :)
Hi there all!
@onilink_ , @InToGames and others: First of all, sorry for the installer. In hindsight a zip file with instructions how to install .NET 4.0 and XNA 4.0 would have been preferable for the technically savvy LD audience. Next time I will provide that. (luckily the one-click-install is quite nice in a way that it installs quite cleanly into 1 directory without polluting the filesystem too much).
Also, thank you for your supportive comments. The difficulties in moving the bodies (and getting stuck) was due to severe case of featurisis and not doing enough playtesting. The objective is somewhat fuzzy, but I call that intentional - you are just spawned alien on a strange environment after all.. :)
I simply have not had the time to play too many submitted games. The more grateful I'm for you all for taking the time to play my humble game and give your input. Thank you!
And on why did the place explode? -> The backstory is that Sigourney found that red button saying "do not press" and initiated the self-destruct mechanism, but to be honest, I just wanted a showy endgame event. :)
Nice little game.
