Had trouble with the OS/X version. This is the terminal readout:

I'm sorry about that. It means that the sfml framework is missing, and that I need to fix that. In the mean time, there's a guide to install it by hand: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-osx.php#installing-sfml

Umm, I really had no idea what to do and how to do it. :/

I figured out by accident that touching the bigger circle thing means I win. I was so lost on everything.
Objective? Controls? Why are one of the aliens bigger and immobile?

I'm afraid I just didn't really get it :(

Sorry but this was very confusing, I had no idea how to play the game...

I'm afraid that the entire time I was just very confused about everything :/

The controls and goal of the game were quite confusing. Also, the movement of the character is quite funky. It takes a while since you press the key and the character starts moving.

I was a bit confused as to how to play.
The music was cool though! And I did get a couple good chuckles out of the descriptions, such as when I died.

I wasn't quite sure what I was doing, I figured out the purple rescued you when you became an alien and I think I won by pressing the red button. Not too sure but I liked it.

Cool game. Took some time to figure things out, but not impossible to play. Nice original game and I especially liked the start screen. Not bad for a first LD entry. Keep it up!

It took me a little while to figure out how the red one helped me until I noticed the big one fading away, but I actually quite liked it in the end. It's pretty simple but it works nicely.

Thank you all for playing, rating, and commenting!
Yes, it is confusing and nonsensical. The upside is that I now have things to learn and improve on for the next time. :)
