Keyboard controls are cursor keys & Ctrl OR WSAD & M.

An awful alien couple, DaYviDD and FiYoNARR, from the galactic megacity have invaded earth because property here is cheap.

They are minimalists and hate mess and disorder of any kind. Convince them to leave by making their living conditions unacceptable!

Be careful, DaYviDD has a gun!

(Post-comp version has some bugs fixed and some additions - it's a lot more fun, and more difficult. Please try it, but you gotta rate me on the compo version. :) )

Such an original fun idea! AI was a bit weird at times though. Loved the sound effects!

Hahaha. I messed their shit up. Great humor and additional points for the music :) DaYviDD having an invisible gun is kinda unfair.. I guess that's because he's minimalist scum. Some more levels would have been awesome.

On occasion the collision between objects leave a larger then comfortable gap between said objects. But other then that, solid work here!

Thanks! Yeah, my AI is buggy - yesterday I had a choice between debugging and fixing that, or making graphics and play-testing.. At least I finished it in time, this way. :)

Good work.

There should be more games like this!

Ha - I instantly regretted hitting CTRL by the toilet ;) What a weird game, and I mean that in the best way possible :)

Where did that gun come from? Oh, I should have read the instructions.

This somehow came out as unbelievably easy for me... if one of them had a gun, he didn't have the manly earth-cajones to fire it at me. I just went around the apartment trashing everything without any resistance. I did like it when one of the aliens actually cleaned something up though. Wish there had been some challenge in that!

Fun game, and very good art. Nice idea and great implementation.

Funny idea, but the sound effects were loud and evil.
