Very good idea and art i enjoy it!

orsi 2020-04-21 01:40

Really liked the visuals! Found it very difficult to drop your buddy and to shoot :P

julius-vander-arend 2020-04-21 01:40

Overall, I think its a solid game, nothing to crazy, but a good platformer with an interesting mechanic relating to the theme. :)

Excellent entry. Really loved the art style, kind of like Futurama - really polished and nice to look at. Enjoyed the concept of the game. I thought it was a nice spin on 2D platform shooters! SFX and music really worked too, so well done on that. Great job guys!

ranjan 2020-04-21 01:41

Very polished! Gameplay was straightforward and enjoyable.

dranrebdev 2020-04-21 01:41

Enjoyed playing it! XD

It felt a little weird having to shoot the direction you are facing rather than where the mouse is pointing. I have to say the art is really cool though. To me it gives a nice Alien Hominid feel while also being a set up in quality.

I just need two try to find out that I need to move with the plant :p but I'm pretty stupid. Game is fun, I like graphics and the style !

weil 2020-04-21 01:42

i really liked the visuals! the idea is also neat

apos 2020-04-21 01:43

That was super hard! Great graphics! It's so clutch to let the plant heal, gotta go fast!

scalliondelight 2020-04-21 01:44

Almost quit after losing the first couple jumps but glad I stuck with it. Cute design!

kamranicus 2020-04-21 01:44

WOW the visuals, looks great! It took me a little bit to get the hang of it but I thought the balance was good! I managed to get pretty far.

As others have said the art style is superb. How ever I found it very difficult to drop the character and start shooting enemies. As soon as I dropped the little guy a swarm would begin to attack. That coupled with the shooting controls being hard to use made this game a little more difficult. Over all though nice game!!

janachumi 2020-04-21 01:46

I think it's really interesting what you did here. Great to play, a bit hard. Overall, very fun. I added to my "i like it" list on itch.io

bernard-bumblebutt 2020-04-21 01:47

Liked the art!

chaplike 2020-04-21 01:48

Great art an animation,I feel like more terrain obstacles would spice things up a bit. A great challenge tho

quincy9000 2020-04-21 01:50

Fantastic animations!

The intro screen is 10/10. The music is great, the font is well chosen for the game, the art style is gorgeous. I love the character design, the color palette and the animation are so nice and fluid! The characters are also easily distinguishable from the background and the controls are well though out and ergonomic, so thank you for that. I also adore how the credits show up in the intro screen: nice, simple and aesthetically pleasing. I going to play this game again during quarantine, quite fun, loved it!!

homunculusgames 2020-04-21 01:53

Kind of hard to aim and gets difficult really fast but the graphics are good!

gustavus-coding-club 2020-04-21 01:53

A pretty good game, love the graphics. The aliens look really cool.

tec 2020-04-21 01:55

Very nice art! I would like to see in this game a dynamic play like contra

welby 2020-04-21 01:55

Love the plant buddy who needs to be planted to recharge. Very cute!

willjardine 2020-04-21 01:57

I had some problems with my controls but the art's totally gorgeous. Awesome job!

anrqangel 2020-04-21 01:57

Good concept, great execution!! Love the art style..

adonisdevs 2020-04-21 01:58

Stopped at 20 :) I really like this game and it's atmosphere!

smallgaier 2020-04-21 01:59

Amazing art and graphics! I also really like the interesting game mechanic that comes from needed to drop the plant to heal it and to shoot. The flying enemies confused me a little bit since they were at kind of anawkward height to shoot and I wasn't sure if I was hitting them, and they also didn't seem to hurt me.

croze 2020-04-21 02:00

I dig the unique take on a platformer/shooter! The coins weren't visible on my screen, so I'd just randomly get them sometimes, but I get to 10 before I died. Would love to see a shop made post-mortem <3

asiago 2020-04-21 02:02

super cute, very solid gameplay, I love the art direction to death. Could have used a bit more sound, and the music volume was too low, but otherwise I loved it.

mmason 2020-04-21 02:12

A little bit confusing at first but easy to get the hang of. It felt a little bit bare it terms of what I was supposed to do or where I was supposes to go.

bloody-xdlol 2020-04-21 02:19

The art is amazing but what really surprised me is that innovative mechanic, why couldn't i think about it ! :alien: :))

chrisevry 2020-04-21 02:23

Great work! The art is incredible considering the time-frame and it's an interesting mix of things to manage.

gary-kim 2020-04-21 02:31

This is simply a really fun game. The artwork is really impressive and the mechanics are simple to understand but hard to get good at.

corruptor2037 2020-04-21 06:22

So stylich, I wish I could draw like this. Hard game though

jamesolivermusic 2020-04-21 17:13

The character/ enemy animations are fantastic! Sound FX are need improvement, and it feels like some mechanics are missing, like aiming. Some of the enemies in higher positions seem redundant if you can't interact with them nor them with you. Also, there should be a sense of objective so we know what to do. But again, the graphics were excellent!

hwaet 2020-04-24 02:14

Great art and the drop mechanic is really interesting. I don't get the flying enemies. Sometimes they'd hurt, sometimes they wouldn't. Is it a collider thing? Either way, great game!

robert-li 2020-04-25 04:11

I liked how there is a control menu at the beginning and the art is awesome. However, I find it hard to shoot at the beginning especially when the enemies are coming from both side at the same time, and some of the enemies are a bit higher and it is hard to aim at them.
