Great graphics and solid game, albeit a bit hard to control at first. Overall, really good. :D

The art and graphics are amazing! Sadly the level is a little too dark :/ Overall nice tho, mechanics seem to work as intended!
I'm not entirely sure how it fits the theme. Other than that, the game looks very nice, the graphics is really great. It was fun to play the game, but the level is maybe too dark so it very often happened that something was shooting at me and I had no idea where it was. But overall, good job.
I liked the game, very cool and funny game design and graphics. The controls were a bit hard for me but couple deaths and I was fine.
good graphs, but audio like...)
Cute! Not sure how it fits the theme, but nicely done. The main problem was that you had for some reason decided to limit the player's FOV so drastically, meaning most of the time you were hit by a full broadside of enemy fire before you had any time to react, turning it into a game of mostly stumbling around in the dark and listening to aliens groan to find out if you hit them or not :P Remove the artificial vision thing (or add some way of enlarging it, like a powerup) and you'd do much better!
I really like what you did with the lighting here, great work!
Very impressive game, love the retro menu style and graphics. Field of vision in the mission is a bit small which makes aliens hard to kill before they kill you. Moving down seemed to also be bugged sometimes?
Nice graphic but a couple of complaints: too darkness and a bit frustrating the combat system, because it is quite hard to shoot and avoid attacks.
What I like: - The game is easy to jump in and play. Information are descriptive, for example I can easily *imagine* the stats of a gun at a glance :p - Art style is really cute - The mood is light, feel like old school sailor moon game of sort. You're the cool heroine saving the world, who doesn't like that
What I think could be improved: - Contrast of the cursor need to be bigger on both the menu and the game screen. I can't see the cursor at all and with mouse aiming that mean I can't reliably shoot where I want, and it's really frustrating. - The viewable area could be a bit bigger. If it's a melee combat game this size could be fine, but in a shooting game you basically get shot the moment you see an enemy. It also preventing me from appreciating alien's beauty.
Very nice graphics! Like others have said, the fog of war is distracting. The slow, bubble projectiles have a weird feel to them, but that could be easily fixed.
i l♡ve the art!･ﾟ✧
I like the style you guys went for! I find it a little dark and hard to see where I'm aiming but great stuff!
I like the game! Has a cute artstyle, funny sound effects and is pretty easy to get the hang of. Only critique would be, as mentioned from others, the overwhelming darkness. Could actually be worth further development :D
It's so fun to play like a warrior and have a character who hit with a funny toy gun which "pop" the ammo ^^. Great entry. The levels are a little too dark and hard for me.
Way too dark, so it was hard to see the level layout or enemies at all :(
Too dark. Can't even see my own mouse cursor. Don't know where I'm aiming. Maybe a cone light would have helped.
I really liked all the story stuff! Agree with others about the darkness, although I get it, its on theme. Well done.
This game art is outstanding! Its such a shame its so dark, I kept losing my cursor and not seeing enemies. Congrats, though, very stilish and moody game!
The popping sound of the gun is really fun. As others have said already, the graphics are cool, but the game is really hard because of the dark fog: the only way I found to survive a little bit is to constantly shoot all around me to shoot enemies before I could see them (I have to say that I'm pretty bad at this kind of game, so my comment on this should be taken with caution). Thanks for this game!
Super cute! :)
Hey played your game but this black fog really made it hard to see those aliens. It's a shame because I couldn't appreciate your work more. What was the concept? A cute little game with bubble sounds or a horrorish game with scary aliens? Loved your graphics still couldn't see them because of the fog

Thank you all for your feedback! I did a quick hotfix regarding the darkness. You can now use slider to increase ambient light (it starts at the darkest level). Also cursor is more visible, working as a flashlight of sorts (I also found that annoying that I couldn't see where the cursor is, not sure why I didn't fix that earlier). Hopefuly you and others will find this useful and will be able to play as you see fit.
As always amazing art by @szupinek is the highlight of our game, so it would be a shame if you couldn't see it clearly :)
Thanks again for your comments!
The graphics are nice, shadow effect, animation, dark atmosfear on stranges planets, the music is in accord with that, but sound fx is fun but that don't work with the other points.
It's pity else you made different planets, weapon selection etc... a lot of work on this entry that's great !
(i found depth problem in level 2, if you see my screenshoot)

Unfortunately this is far too dark to be playable. I got hit first every time, and scouting ahead with the cursor was really tedious. Really liked the artstyle so gave you top marks for Graphics and the gameplay (the little I could experience) was fun, but I just can't play this without dying.
I like the style but it's a little too dark to aim the targets. And the tutorial design is beautiful! Great job!!
A very polished minigame, well done guys!
A litle dark but really nice graphics and music ! Good job
The sound effects are so funny haha. When the ambient light intensity is set to max, it's perfect for me, maybe because I'm not great at shooter games. Maybe the low light intensity could work if there was some sound indicator of where enemies are, like localized footsteps? I like the concept of having low visibility but I like to have some sense of where things are.
Overall, cute art, impressive amount of content given the time constraints; I'm impressed you were able to make such a robust stealth/shooter game!
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

I don't understand how this game fit the theme, but it's a well polished shooter game. Difficult for me to play because my keyboard is not a QUERTY so WASD is a nightmare to use. But whatever, the pixel art of the characters is very cute and the movements are very clean. The sound design is funny at the beginning, but too strong and present on a longplay time in my humble opinion. For the obscurity, it's good for the ambience, but I needed to use the light at maximum to play well.
Funny game! I really dig the graphics, and the mission select screen was AMAZING! The sound effects were a little annoying at times.
Well done!
Moody and dark visual style appeals to me. I like the artstyle and the game has lots going for it. I enjoyed the extreme shadows.
Nice little game, but very tough. I think that the game would be a lot easier without the darkness effect, plus it'd make it easier to see the nice character art. I made it past the first level, but got stuck on the second. I thought the shotgun would make the game easier, but the spread was so high that it's pretty much useless :(
Besides the *brutal* gameplay though, this was a very nice entry. Good job!
I liked your game, the atmosphere is very good, reminiscent of dead space, but without violence and in 2D, and that I thought was cool haha. The controls are good, as are the graphics and especially the sound. The mechanics of exploring while an alien might surprise you is well done. The only point I didn't like very much is that the game is very dark, I don't know if it was something on my monitor, but I think it could be a little bit more with light. Anyway, it was a very good experience. Congratulations.
