Quite difficult, you die pretty easily, and the enemies respawn slightly too fast, but nice concept

A bit of a tough one, couldn't come close to finishing it.

Thoughts on the design. I ended up running away from enemies a lot while I tried to circle around and pick them off, and noticed that they kept bunching together. At one point I had maybe 4 of them taking up the same spot. Also, something to indicate when a small alien is about to change back would be helpful. I often tried to collect one just before it grew back into full size and took a chunk of health off.

Nice work !

Sounds were nice, simple but the "squick" of a captured alien just make me feel good :D
Good controls, easy to play hard to use perfectly. It's somewhat of a challenge to catch two shooting aliens close together because of our low fire rate.

Anyway congratz !

Very hard, but fun! I did encounter a glitch though where an enemy was invincible near a wall...

Simple, but effective. It's so fun to shoot and collect!

I had to experiment a bit what works best, but then I got it :) Too bad the game is over so fast... would love to have more health. Maybe put a health potion somewhere? Was fun to play! Good work!

Fun and surprisingly strategic! You have to think about when to shoot just to delay enemies and when to move in with the net. Graphics and sound were nice and functional although a few animations would have gone a long way. Gameplay was tight!

Definitely has the fun factor for me! Found mopping up the aliens after shooting them very satisfying.

Also, I didn't expect a boss fight! Nice addition.

The game looks REALLY, REALLY well, plays really well, feels well, and sounds well. The whole game is really good except that I got frustrated with the controls because they were challenging, but I think that's what you were going for and it worked. Overall good game.

That was surprisingly difficult. Cool game!

Great sound effects. I couldn't get one of the three eyed guys in the room to the left. Bullets just passed right through it.

Thanks for the support and great feedback so far!

@Drusilla, thanks for the heads up I will go and fix that bug, since collecting all of the enemies is sort of the point of the game having some that cannot sort of breaks it...

I liked the monster design but pretty easily killed by them >.> (Especially because you have to get nearer to capture them. They respawn at that right moment you try to capture them and you die >.>) Otherwise, nice little game!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

hempuli 2016-04-23 21:58

The shooting enemies were much harder to avoid than I first anticipated. Good fun!

luquio 2016-04-26 01:46

Needs a little practice or ull die so fast, as my 3 first times haha :)

mayank-technical 2016-04-26 09:05

Nice use of graphics and great concept. Needs some tweaking and variations

skaz 2016-04-28 16:21

Not as easy at it seems! Great entry.
