Nice, job guys! It took me a bit to get used to the controls since they aren't your typical WASD setup. Using the number pad would have been a nice option. The mouse controls didn't work for me, but maybe I was just not following directions properly. It's known to happen! That third level was difficult, but I enjoyed it enough to see it through.
(Played on the Web version.)
Nice graphics and audio. Good game play. Good job, y'all!
I had a lot of fun with this! I think it is a very solid entry and with a little more polish, it would be great! The initial pacing was a little slow. Three days of only watering started to drag a bit, but once Tilly and Billy came into play, it kept me engaged more. If you can get the player to stop moving completely while playing the watering animation, it'll help the controls feel a little more responsive. The graphics were solid and the music fit in well with the games aesthetic. Great job!
Nice work on the graphics and audio. The movement of the ship felt a little off, but I also don't do well with motion sickness, so that might just be me! Solid entry for sure. :)
I like the concept! The mechanics were easy to figure out and the goal was simple. Definitely conveyed the stress of trying to keep the alien alive! I can't say I ever managed to last long while playing, but some balancing to timing would help. Solid work.
Nice game! The controls were very responsive and it was fun to play.
Very cute game! Loved the visual style, although I didn't understand what I was in for until I clicked the play button. The minigames are a good style for a game jam, but some additional instructions would be helped. I'm still not sure how to make the Pandas fall in love. XD
Good job, y'all!
Great concept! :)
Overall, I thought the game was great. It was simple, but kept me engaged. I loved the fact that you used sound as the method for finding planets. That was very neat! Great job!
Cool game! I like the concept of it. The first part when you're building your squad is very intriguing and you can tell a lot of thought went into it. I wish the ending provided more details about the battle or why you won/lost.
I like the concept! I think there's some fun potential with this idea. I didn't have two people to play with, but could see how it could be a lot of fun when playing against another player. Of course, I had trouble keeping my earth alive without someone else sending me their trash!
As many others have said, a tutorial would be great and a single player mode would be a nice addition. A little more polish and you've got a solid game. Good job, y'all!

Thanks everyone for the feedback and ratings! This was my first game from start to finish... I've dabbled a little bit this past year, but not actually completed anything. The scope for 3 days was probably too large, and what made it in the game was actually toned down significantly from what I originally wanted!
I'm hoping to take the ideas behind the game and make something out of it. Either way, I'm happy to have done enough co complete it. Wish I'd had time to add in tooltips or a better tutorial. :)
Reverse block breaker! I liked it. Wish there had been some additional power ups for paddle size and ways to defend the tree. An unlucky spawn on the other side spelled almost immediate end for me. Keep it up!
This was fun! Definitely felt a sense of urgency as I scrambled to replace all the parts with new or repaired ones. I wish the collision detection was a little smoother or forgiving... kept getting stuck on corners. Keep it up!
Nice work! Fan of the style. Hope you continue to develop it!
Really enjoyed the mechanics. Especially, when you introduced the light bouncing one. I thought that was a lot of fun.
Solid game. Well done! The only real frustration I had was bouncing off of earth instead of flying over it.
Fun game! I liked the graphics style and the mechanics were very smooth.
Nice idea and the graphics were quite nice! The audio helped set a relaxed mood. More in-game hints for what each item did and which items could be interacted with would have been nice. Overall, solid work!
Nice game! I enjoyed the graphics and the music a good bit. I think they fit well together. Is this something you're going to continue to develop?
