Simple, but fun little game. The music is great. There are a lot of things to polish, but it is fun to play for a while

@jmarkohun You can make the game more appealing visually, by making a nice background and one or multiple sprites for the planet for example. Also, shooting feels a bit weird now, because the planet is very small and the bullets fly in a straight line; because of this you have to walk very close to the zombies to hit them. Also, I feel like the balancing of the weapons could be a little bit better. This is also partially caused because of the bullets going in a straight line; i just feel like the crow bar is a bit overpowered. Another thing I noticed was that after playing for a while, there weren't any planets near me anymore where I could jump to. I don't know if it is part of the game, but it felt weird that one of the big mechanics, which made the game more interesting, couldn't be used anymore. Stuff like this could really improve the replayability of your game in my opinion
Amazing game! I love the artstyle and the voice acting, sound effects and music are just fantastic! It's a very original concept and it is very polished. It perfectly fits the theme and the game feels very smooth. Definitely one of the better entries!
Amazing art and very nice music! Also, the game is polished and gameplay works great. Fun game!
I really love the art, sound and mood! Not much gameplay though :( Would have loved to see more
I love the art and music a lot! Very retro. Also, great concept and polishing
Nice game! I especially love the 3d pixel art! Great job on that. Also the mechanics are polished. It can be confusing what to do in the beginning though.
I'm afraid I'm addicted:joy: Graphics and sound are great, but this game did best in the fun category in my opinion. For me this is the game I found most fun to play of all submitted games I've played. It gave me a bit of a Super Mario minigame feeling. It also felt VERY smooth to play and it was very satisfying to save a creature just before he falls in the pit. After playing for half an hour, I found a tiny little bug (it was really really minor): If two creatures are on exactly the same spot, both get picked up. This only occured to me once since it is very rare, but wanted to let you know. I Love this game
Fun game! Apart from sacrificing your wings, it is a bit unoriginal, but it is very well executed and has really nice graphics. Great job!
Nice game! Pretty hard, but very fun to play! Very innovative use of the theme
Cool game! The art is really great and I think the little messages were a fun addition. The game feel is also very good. Very nicely polished and fun game overall, although I agree with the other comments that you could have made sacrificing the crew members more clear. But besides that, not much to complain :thumbsup:
Really fun game! I played it multiple times, because I liked it so much. I have one point of improvement: it is a little bit too easy to win the game. I think it could be more of a challenge if you allow less citizen deaths. Didn't spoil the fun though! I would have loved to hear some music in the game, but I understand it is hard to make everything in 48 hours. Great job!
Awesome game! Altough the concept is a bit simplistic, I really loved it! For a jam game the amount of polishing is amazing. Beautiful artwork and aesthetics, nice music and fun levels. Good job!
@firesplash-entertainment Hi, I tried to play your game, but unfortunately jumping didn't seem to work. I would still like to play it if you can make it working
@firesplash-entertainment This is what happens when jumping ezgif.com-optimize (1).gif
@firesplash-entertainment Yes I tried the fixed version
Cool graphics! The game gets boring pretty quickly but it is very fun to play for a while!
I almost got all the grunts in the basket. Nice little game and very original! The usage of the windows was very inovative. The game is very hard. This makes it a nice challenge, but it can be frustrating sometimes if you die when you almost have all grunts in the basket. Fun game
Amazing art! Really gorgeous. The music is beautiful too. The gameplay is simple and gets boring pretty quickly though
Really fun! It's hard and gets repetetiv quickly, but it is worth playing for a while! Love the pixel art and music
Great game! I really loved the atmosphere of the game. It's simple, but polished very well. Also, the ending was just amazing; it gave me a very creepy feeling.
The amount of polishing is amazing! The menu is so beautiful, especially for a jam game. Very impressive! I also love the art and the gameplay is great as well.
Nice concept, beautiful pixel art and good music! I really like it. There are two things I would improve: - The responsiveness (shouldn't be too hard, but would improve the experience. It gets frustrating after a while if you have to press an arrow key multiple times before the character moves) - More difficult levels. There are A LOT of levels, and I would have loved to play all of them, but when I was at level 30, there still wasn't much difficulty, which made me lose interest. Overall, good game though!
