Very, very cool. I love the animations for the arm grabbing stuff. I problem I did have was the parts of the ship you have to drag things on being quite small causing me to miss and just drop the item. Other than that this game was great
I lvoe it, it is not easy to manage all the stuff but it's pretty adictive, i made 695 :)
fun concept, gameplay was a tad slow at first but it picked up. i liked the tentacle grabbing stuff!
I've played it a few times and I generally like the concept. I think the balance gets completely out of whack at around the 400 m mark (Cars start showing up in both lanes, completely block resources on the sidewalk or other shenanigans), but I'm happy to say I almost made it to 600 m. I have no idea when the ending is or if there is an ending. It was a fun game though. No bugs either, which is nice.
If I were to make suggestions for improvement, I'd suggest letting the alien drive forward and backward so they can actually be strategic in how they navigate around the cars. Also, water works for coolant too in desperate times, but that's just from personal experience.
Also, take the black cars out, as they blend in with the asphalt a little too well.
The game looked fun, but I couldn't play it
We have to grab a wrench, but when i hit space, the tentacle goes towards the middle of the road, and I tried for 5 minutes but I just can't get it.
Edit okay you have to use your mouse, but it was not written
Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

Quality game, I enjoyed that you have a tutorial, always very helpful. Also just like @pilarius mentioned above, the main reason I clicked on this game was because of the great thumbnail.
This game was nice. The humans faces when you steel from them are funny. The movement is a bit on the slow end. I don't like that you need to drag different things to different parts, especially because the hitboxes to some parts are pretty small.
Really fun and challenging game! Loved the art and effects.
I had fun playing it ! 300 meters is my best score. At first I thought I could have caught humans with my tentacles but it was just what they were holding. You found a good balance with the gameplay. I like that the cars move when you hit them, little details that add so much to the game. Good entry.
Very good job! the mechanics are uniuqe and fun and overall it looks very promising! the only thing in my opinion that could added to your game is the ability to move backwords and forwards
I spend way to much fun on this game ^^ Its an interesting design and the balancing of watching the street and juggling several health bars was great. The only issue I had were the already mentioned hitboxes of the several parts resulting in throwing away needed Ice Cream cones. I also liked the added non usable items like the helmet.
Not sure why by I had some performance issues when hitting a car. The number of spawned particles could be the issue. But overal great entry and beautiful not grey thumbnail :wink:
Funny and good looking game!
This is a well-polished entry. Good difficulty level and has enough variety to keep it fun/interesting. The tutorial was surprisingly well-made for a jam game. I didn't encounter any issues.
Nice but can be improved.
I like how many plates you have to keep spinning in this game, also having the stuff you take be affected by physics in your inventory really adds to the panic.
Cool tentacle idea. Also, loved how good the tutorial was.
Very cool game! concept and executions were pretty good! fun and challenging! art and music were very good too. The sound for the tentacle grab is top notch paired with the animation it feels really good!
I am totally impressed by tutorial! I am never brave enough to make good interactive tutorial on game jam, in fear i won't make it in time, but here you pulled off very, very nice one! I like how complex game is. There is a lot of elements to manage, they are both super funny and present cool functionality. It was very hard to manage all of them once i started playing, but that's charm of the game I think. I am going to be an expert on multitasking after this :D Also the tentacle mechanic and aniamtion are super smooth!
Very good game, looks great, juggling everything wash hectic and fun. When two cars came towards you at the same time it felt a bit cheap. The areas on the ship where you place the items were a bit small. But very good!
Having your inventory represented by physical space really makes the game unique in a way. The hats are a really great idea but the cars are too big and sometimes unfair. Also the tentacles need to be a bit bigger. Overall really great game!
I was very suprised that you manage to include a full tutorial into the game. I really liked how the inventory worked. The art and audio were very good.
Nice it was fun, the tutorial was useful. Keep it alive!
Nice game guys, great 2D style & nice mechanics. And that tutorial is on point ! I feel like the balance could be improved, but hey, it is an awesome entry !
Loved the art, very nice illustrations, and the concept was pretty cool.
If you were to develop, post-jam, I'd say simplify the mechanics a bit, the tentatcle grabbing things was cool, but the draggin/dropping from the inventory didn't work very well for me. This could be automated, so the play had more focus on dodging / collecting.
A very funny and challenging game! Very clever mechanics with easy handling. Although simple, the art is well made and pleasant. Music is an extra point. It fits perfectly with the mood.
Congratulations for the game!
Congratulation to the team! This game is very well polished for a Jam entry. The idea is in the theme, and the way to keep you ship alive is very funny (I love the ideas of the ice cream and the way to catch the objects and characters reaction...). There's a lot of thinks to do and that's very nice. I think you have a solid original game play.
Loved playing this in our stream last night, was really fun for everyone to watch too! The gameplay is super solid and love how you have to grab the items. Simple controls and it was really intense which I love! As I mentioned to you last night, it would be amazing if there was a day and night cycle to shake it up a bit. Awesome entry, congrats!
Awwww! Such an awesome game! First of all, what a cute design EDO has, I looooove him! soooo adorable, a real good job creating him :) His tentacles also were spot on! The idea is funny and challenging, I also really really liked how you did the tutorial (with an own level) this was really great for teaching player's the mechanics and it was fun! I also really enjoyed the ideas like grabbing the icecream to counter the engine overheating. It has this cute and silly Point&Click logic which I really enjoyed. I also liked the variations, like how some smarthphones showed that mum is calling (She'll never believe THAT excuse for not taking her call, that's for sure!) The gameplay felt really solid, I didn't realize any bugs, everything went smoothly. I also really liked how your inventry is physics based and not like this "hard coded" slots :) It leaves you escited and be like praying "please don't fall off, pls don't fall offffff...! haha I once picked up this propeller beanie lol, I wish that would have been some sort of time based upgrade or something :D like you can fly a bit when you activate it (if it does indeed do that, then I was simply too stupid to use it ^^) The music was fun and fit the mood, it was also fun stealing things off of people and listening to their outraged "Hey! >:[" while being all like "Oh SORRY, I'm just a cute alien who really needs that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Teehee, thx byeeee!" xD For a gamejam a really outstanding achievement, congrats to the team! :) As for polishing and post-jam, I maybe add a bit more of a "snapping" as soon as you're close to the spaceship part that needs certain items, or maybe make them bigger, and if you're urgently lacking a specific item make it spawn sooner and a bit more often; sadly I've died while missing icecream because the only one that would have been there on time was blocked by a car :( But that's really advanced stuff already, for a gamejam entry this was more than decent! Good job <3
This was a pretty good game. The mechanics were very easy to learn thanks to the tutorial, and there was overall a lot of nice elements, including the physics-based inventory.
I do feel like certain elements of the game make it rather frustrating. For example, I lost due to lack of fuel. But I was unable to refuel because my hand slipped when I was trying to fuel the car, and then my tentacle didn't work when I tried to grab more fuel. I think that both the drag-and-dropping onto the car could be a little more forgiving, and I think the tentacle-grabbing is a little janky and sometimes fails to work for no apparent reason.
Nonetheless, I felt that the game was pretty complete. The audio complements the mood nicely, and the variety of characters and mechanics is fun and engaging.
One game-unrelated nitpick: I'm not sure, but you might be supposed to opt out of audio if you didn't create the music during the jam. I've left it unrated in any case.
@fatpenguin Thanks for the great comment, i absolutely love your idea with propeller beanie! If it could make you fly that would be totally awesome! :D
