Love the cute alien and the creative use of the signal theme. The scene transition is great!

cute little game! I liked how the gameplay switched up once you reached the tower, not only the time based JnR, but also adding a puzzle made it quite refreshing (: good work, keep it up!

Very cute little alien :)

This was a really nice little platformer/action game :D I loved that there was a short story, with even a small puzzle to break it up. Also, the running back to your ship section at the end was a lot of fun! This game was just very varied, which was super cool.

It took me a little bit of time to understand that I could do a double jump (I was a little stuck at the beginning at first), but once I understood this it was all very clear. One other little problem I had with the platforming was that sometimes when I run off a ledge and I jump, I used my double jump without realizing. There is such a thing that people call 'coyote time' that you can look into to fix that if you want :) Other than that it felt great to play this game!

Really well done! I enjoyed this :D

I absolutely loved the joke about people wearing tinfoil hats! It’s those little humorous touches that give the game so much personality. Really fun entry, great job!

Awesome little game! Loved the art style and the switching gameplay was a cool twist.

First off - I love the art! Great sprites, beautiful starry background, absolutely stunning job there. Gameplay was cool as well, the movement felt responsive, although it took me far too long to realize that I could double jump.

I really appreciate the tower mini-game as well - very impressive work getting two completely separate game styles into a jam!

Nice game, music and smooth graphics set the mood, and there was good pace going on all the time. Sounds were pleasant and everything had their own sound. Graphics felt mostly polished if not for some sharp edges here and there.

I liked the design of the main character and the cartoony style of active objects that made them distinct from the background.

Game was quick fun and even a puzzle to break the pace. Good job!

I loved the art, gameplay was good, although it took me some time (and many deaths XD) to realise that there's double jump option, but after that it was easy. I liked the fact that at the end there was a completely different mini game with puzzles. It really is a good game ♥

I liked the visuals and cute alien, overall humor of the game! Great job! <3 :D

I had fun with this game, it was just the right amount of challenging, loved the mini game after you got to the tower as well. The game felt really polished overall, great visuals and audio!

Nice platformer. Cool visuals and audio. Good game.

zedgame 2026-04-28 22:04

I like the visuals and audio design a lot!

A well put together platformer. The art is really nice. I didn't realise there was a double jump at first. The time limited gun was an interesting mechanic. After my first restart the first satellite was firing really fast which was odd.

This is soooo pretty! Art and animation is top notch. You really managed to go an extra mile and design three distinct sections of the game, putting the game to the finished state. I was so glad that I actually destroyed the satellites along the way, it paid back for the runback :D Soundtrack is sooo fitting, run and gun babyyy! And cmon, this effect when you get hit with the tinfoil hat on? Dope! Quick and fun and eye candy

i love john glorbert!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's a very beautiful and cute game! i realized how bad I am at platformer games :D i was only able to reach zone 51 and kept slayed under signals... for dummies like me, it would have been easier to play if there were several lives :)

in any case, the game is impressive! it's amazing that you were able to make it so high quality in such a short time!

also, i have a similar plush toy of john from ikea :D

Cute little platformer. The sound effects and art kind of reminded me of the old Neopets games.

OMG I love graphics and mechanics, level design is really good! I played enought platformers but this one is really great. Love minigame in the end.

Very solid little game! Graphics were cohesive and well made! Nice use of art assets and gameplay variety to keep things interesting.

Nice platformer! It was fun to play, the character controls felt snappy, and I made it to the end! I liked the tinfoil hat mechanic :D

sarah 2026-05-08 15:12

This is so cute! I love the graphics and atmosphere (: Picking up items was a fun addition, especially the hat! It ties in well to the theme, but I really struggle with platforming, even very basic levels so I died more than I would like haha. Great work overall!
