Ain't NO aliens gettin' MY Martian potatoes!

Controls were a bit difficult at first, but didn't take long to get a hang of and made me feel like a champ when I did.

Add some sound, and you should publish it on mobile!

Cool! Porting to android/iOS? Aspect ratio makes me think so.

The controls seem awkward at first but once I got the hang of it I found it to be actually pretty effective. Nice work!

Great visuals, the controls for the missiles are pretty terrible but I love them for making the game a lot funnier to play. Nice job :)

The controls are amazing, they are surprisingly intuitive to use. Great graphics. Wish there were sounds. I had to voice the game myself...
Really fun overall.

Maybe it's because I player CMDR LR before this, but I feel the controls are exactly the opposite of what they should be. But other than that, nice concept and great art.

Akhera:
yes, my initial concept also has the same control scheme like CMDR LR. But when i try to invert it, i think this way is easier and fun. Which control scheme do you prefer?
Thanks for playing guys!

Cool. Even though I don't know what that little alien or so is, I love it.

Neat game. The controls are a bit hard, but fun nonetheless.

I think there should be a small delay before each missile. I lost a lot of times because I was pressing A or D when the new missile spawns.

Controls are a bit tricky to get used to, but once you do this is a great game.

The pixel-art is really good! Especially the background is gorgeous!
I think with a little more tweaking on the physics, the controls would be much better.

Good job!

I think the title's good! It was fun learning how to control the missiles well. I like swerving around a UFO, aiming at it from above, and slamming both blasters on and smashing into it! With some retro sound and music this wouldn't be out of place in an arcade. Good job.

Really cute game! Quite challenging. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/DppxuiW8XzY

I liked the way of movement, I've never seen anything like it. Some music would be nice though.

It's a pity i don't get most of the gfx (bg is just greenish) :/ Enough to be playable though.

"Press A/D to turn left/right" is kinda confusing. It should be more like "Press A/D to turn on left/right engine". When you understand that, controls become pretty simple.

Game has interesting control mechanic, but is boring itself =(

Fun flying the rockets around. Took some getting used to, but in a good way. Liked the art, especially the background. Nice job.
