Crazy brain wrecking adventure-puzzle with awesome music. Simply mechanics, but there is no so much sense in using only a keyboard – if rely everything on the mouse – the idea\essense of the game will stay the same.

Awesome concept and execution. The music, graphics and gameplay are all so well executed. I love the fact that you have to self destruct the ship yourself to stop playing (great animation for that too by the way).

The keyboard movement scheme is great fun as well! Very clear and intuitive with the letters and colored circles.

Keep it up! :)

Very cool game, stunning audio and visuals but also not lacking on the gameplay at all. Very strategic game that alot of people will enjoy to play. Great game!

Well done this is a very good game. The graphics and gameplay are both great and go very well together.

Couldn't quite figure out how to win. But what a killer sound track!

Wow superb entry, I think I will actually play this one every once in a while! :smile: Great soundtrack, awesome visuals, generally pretty much a finished game, good job guys, loved it! :thumbsup: although @kostak made a good point, that this could work with just a mouse as well, using the keyboard made me make a few "typos" leading to mistakes, but I guess that's my own fault haha

Quite a good job you've done! The mechanics are pretty solid (Although no matter how hard I tried I couldn't smash an alien with a wall), and the art is really impressive! It fits the theme and is pretty darn fun! The audio is awesome too! Good Job!

Cheers! - The Koala Squad

At first I didn't understand you could move blocks to crush aliens. But after that, I found it a really interesting game. Using the keyboard to move objects is unique, but I found it more a source of frustration. It server no different purpose than simply clicking one tile and then the other. I would either find ways to make the keyboard more useful, or switch to a more standard control method. Overall. Great job on the presentation!

I was really confused at the start. I was like, wait, I can move **any** thing? And then I tried to move portal and I felt like I was lied to and didn't even try to move other things. The game really got much easier when I figured stuff out! It was a fun title to play. Thank you for making the game and congratulations on finishing on time!

It took me a while to understand the game mechanics but I like it, it's a good idea.

Moving the walls to splat aliens was highly satisfying! I like the balance between crew and walls, deciding what to spend that one precious move on was tough. Once you understand how it all works, you can really keep on top of things for a while through careful spreading out of your crew to cover all bases... but as soon as it starts to go down the pan, it's pretty much time to abandon ship, haha!

In all, really enjoyed it :)

This is an incredible entry, the other comments don't give it nearly enough credit. The intro is excellent, I initially though you had to mash the space bar and consequently saw the whole "HIT THAT DAMN SPACE" thing. The core concept is pretty sweet, and I won't slam you guys for going with the keyboard scheme because I believe it has some educational value (try sending the game to schools?). The graphics are pretty decent. I honestly couldn't believe that you actually made the music, because it's professional quality. Overall fantastic game, you guys should be proud!

Wow! Nice game! Hard but fair! Really great job on hit. And the music is great :) Good job!
