Intro: You are an alien, and like all aliens your goal is to take over the small planet called Earth. Unfortunately, your ship had a few loose pieces (lol).
Leaving you, defenseless and unable to accomplish your evil task. You must find these pieces, gather matter from shops/banks/goats and then make Earth yours!
Controls: - Move: up, down, left and right arrow keys - Disguise: Z key - Menu: up, down to navigate and Z to select
F.A.Q:
What do I do?: reach the alien space ship piece at the end of every level. It's the blueish metal thingie
How does the disguise work?: when you press the Z key it will activate (unless it's in cool down) a short disguise that lasts only a fraction of a second. It only works on the green enemies
Green cop: walks randomly, will ignore you if you are disguised
Sniper: does not move, changes his aim once in a while. Disguise doesn't work on him
Arrowman: jumps over any obstacle, will always follow you. Disguise also doesn't work on him
On every level you are supposed to pick up the alien spaceship piece, the blue metal thing. On the second level there are snipers lurking about, wait until they change their aim and run!
What a fun little stealth game! It got VERY challenging and tricky later on. I enjoyed the music and the overall feel of the game... and the main character looks awesome. :D
I love stealth games, and this is a great one :D i would love to buy upgrades with the matter. The art is amazing, from the title screen to the end. Great game :)

I love the graphics, though the grey 'road' tiles feel a bit repeated. Doubling the screen size wouldn't be a bad idea but could pose a problem with some smaller screens. I like the stealth gameplay that makes the player wait for the right moment, but I found the Arrowmen to be a bit overpowered with being able to walk through buildings. The music is relaxing with aids with the required patience. I rarely found myself using the disguise mechanic however, and there was a bit of lag with the menus and restart screens.
Thanks for all the nice comments and constructive criticism! Upgrades were meant to be part of the game, but unfortunately we didn't have time to implement that. The Arrowman was meant to follow without jumping buildings, but I didn't get the AI right so it became "jumping" instead :S
Really fun! It's a little hard to see if you're disguised or not, but it had some great strategy bits :D And bonus matter for visiting the goats was a great idea! Loved the art too - pixely but arty. The stone was a little bit repetitive, it might've been an idea to have a few different ground textures.
I really like the concept, but I think the difficulty ramps up a bit TOO quickly. The introduction of arrowmen in particular makes the game significantly harder. I would've liked to be able to use my disguise on them.

It gets hard later on, with those building-ignoring Arrowmen! Nice relaxing tune, too.
