Space descent Alpha is destroying alien bases. You have 10 seconds to place and arm the bomb, 10 seconds to return in spaceship and 10 seconds to leave the atmosphere of a planet.
Purple stars shocks you and push you back. Lasergun deactivate and kills all stars near the beam. Laser shot = key Z.
Jumps depends on previous speed of character, so jumps is quite unpredictable. Jumps can be very high. You can obtain skills, if you'll play this game longer))

Its my first platformer) Sorry for unbalanced gameplay. I planned to submit this in solo, but i spent first day on writing my own engine, very bugfull and ugly. Later I found Nape...)

An in my opinion frustrating 'game'. In the sidescroller part of the game you can only complete the last 2 planets if you have a lot of luck, because as far as I could tell there is no way to aim your weapon. The controls in that part of the game also feel unresponsive, which adds to the frustration (when I press 'jump', I would like to actually jump! No run into those annoying purple stars).
The audio and visuals are OK-ish. I don't like the art style but at least there IS an art style.
Quite nice. Reminded me of the old Sega Genesis/Megadrive games. It gets a bit frustrating quick with the unresponsive controls and the lack of checkpoints between segments. But it made me feel nostalgic so good job :)
Damn, this game is frustrating. There's no discernible strategy past the 2-3 first levels, it just turns into run, shoot and hope for the best... well at least it did for me :P Eventually I beat the game though. The space part was nice. It was difficult enough to keep you focused, without being too frustrating.
I really loved the graphics, it sold me right away. All in all I liked the game, but the last few levels were way too difficult in my opinion.
After the first 3 planets the part where you need to plant the bomb gets too random. Could be an amazing little game if the "blast aliens" part was a little more polished. But really cool overall, love your graphic style!
Very nice retro style to the graphics and music! The camera shake as you're escaping is great. It does get difficult though, and the stunning mechanic is frustrating.
Good idea to extend the gameplay beyond 10 seconds without straying from the theme, by including multiple sections.

I loved this game though!
The controls were a bit wonky, I found I got stuck on some of the collision. Which led me to many a death.
Over all really cool
but to hard for me ) maybe, if you expand the time limit it will be more useful)
