Wow, really well done! What a fun game! Sure, it's not perfect: sometime the character "sticks" to a straight wall, the aliens do strange things (maybe they are supposed to?) and the controls don't seem to listen as they should. But some minor refinement and this would be even better. I really liked it anyway. Fun idea with the aliens tagging along for each level, didn't expect that but it follows the theme nicely. Congrats on making a fun and enjoyable game in this short time! =)

Nice idea! I think this has the potential to add a nice story told over the levels as you progress, but this is already a fun little game.

A good entry, I played 'till the end! Loved the alien graphics and sounds of aliens being rescued. The music works very well, too. Another really nice thing: for a 48-hour development, you ended up creating a good number of different levels, each of which feels unique (this gives a feeling of "this is a real, complete game" that I only dream to achieve in the future).

Has a few glitches, all very forgivable given the short development time. Regarding the theme: surely follows it, but (in my opinion) not in a "surprising" or particularly creative way.

All in all, kudos for you!
