It's so cute when a lil alien in shorts carries of your squadmates to meet their horrific demise <3

For JAM games, the completion level is very high, the graphics are very exquisite, and I like the "paper man"

Love the art style! Great work

Love the unique art style. Fun little game!

The art is nice, gameplay does get a bit repetitive though

Funny idea, really creative! Really liked the paper characters. We've been looking forward to play this all day, it was worth it

i really love this 2.5D style. so cute uwu

btw, it would be good if it would be easier to bring her children (maybe reduce marine fertilizing time)

Un concept intéressant ! Les dessins et animations sont très sympas. Le puits d'acide (ou de je-ne-sais-quoi) à côté de l'endroit où apparaissent les œufs est un peu pénible, vu que les marines y tombent direct après s'être fait choppé par le facehugger la plupart du temps.

J'ai eu un bug où le bruit du marine qui s'étouffe se jouait en boucle. J'ai réussi à bloquer un marine au niveau de l'arche, ça je sais pas si c'est normal ^^

Your game has a great visual style that I really love.

The gameplay is simple yet enjoyable, and I think adding background music would have made it even better. Nonetheless, I think it's a solid game with good results.

Congratulations!

Totally love the visual style and artwork; really different from all the other things. Also, the game idea is creative. A simple menu would be helpful to restart or quit the game and it is also a pity that a lot of infected marines fall into the holes. But overall, a nice little game. Would love to see the visual style in a bigger game. :smiley:

Very fun style and I enjoyed your artwork

How did you manage to make something so horrific *this* adorable?! A great concept and executed well outside of some minor bugs - but the visual style and the little charms really make it a blast to play (especially for fans of the series).

Some added hazards, music, and a pause menu would be welcome additions to completely the package, but great work!

At one point a marine just walked up to an egg on their own, lovestruck - it was just like Prometheus lol

What a strange concept for a game lol - but a good one. The stand out for me is the visuals, love both the hand drawn and 3D components, they do contrast quite a lot but you've managed to put them together quite nicely. I found the gameplay to be a bit lower standard though, it felt like I was mostly just hoping that they wouldn't randomly wander into the holes, and it doesn't really get much more complex.

I found a lot of the time with the 'pregnant?' marines, they would just go straight into the hole next to the egg before I have a chance to move them - and to contrast, grabbing them for food is very easy. I think I also might have had a bug one time where all the marines were spawning off screen and stuck in the bottom right so I had to run really far and spam E hoping to pick it up.

I think with a bit more of a refined and expanded gameplay loop this could have been an amazing game, other than the issues I mentioned it felt very polished overall and I know I've already mentioned it but visually it's both unique and good looking. Overall great job with the game!

I really like the art direction here! The paper-style characters in the 3d environment, and of course I like the Alien take on delivery! This is the first one I've seen where it isn't humans and babies. A really good idea and well-implemented too!
