Alien Buddy: Beneath the Surface of a New Mexico Landfill

Felt like I was playing a 2600 game, from the controls, the sounds, the big blocky characters. Very nice design.

Hah, very topical, well done

I had a good laugh. Initially it plays as bad as the original Atari 2600 E.T. game, but adding the digging sequence makes up a lot. Could find some cartridges. Very fun!

Great idea for a strange game

A fair rehash of the Atari 2600 game E.T in which you dig the graves of your foes whilst being pursued by child predators in a hellish, abstract dreamscape. Educational!

Delightfully clunky and conveniently topical. Great job!

Nice graphics and nice game

Oh the nostalgia, it burns! Funny topic

I was hoping someone would do this. and you did not disappoint. epic movement sounds. did someone see elliot?

Like it :D Very fun

Fun, I like two different viewpoints.

A very fun game. I didn't quite get the point but great nonetheless

well that brings back memories, not great memories, but still well done on the game

Hilarious and very true to the original game :)

Well that was unexpectedly relevant to recent events. Kudos to you two!

Oh no, why the alien doesn't merge with the Kid? ;-;
So sad...

This is really hilarious. I've never played E.T. but I've seen it being played a few times so I was laughing pretty hard at how accurate this is. Sometimes it's a bit too accurate though, a little less confusion and some less ear-grating sounds would have helped.

Nice!

I started my gaming career with NES, so I didn't have first hand experience on E.T. for Atari 2600, but after hearing A LOT about it on the net, I just knew I had to try this one out.

I had no idea what was happening. I thought the music would break my headphones. I still don't know what some of those graphics resemble. I loved it!

I had fun! I really liked the 2600 style art and I loved how topical this was to this weekends dig. Great job.

Very funny and Ad hoc game...

Also, the atmosphere and the graphics are great, perfect mock up!

5 stars on theme, graphics and Audio... for sure.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Keeps me motivated to work on my larger projects.

Hilarious! I love the 2600 style.

Fun game, I was wondering if people made an ET game for this LD. This is one fun ET game.

Nice version of ET I included it in part 14 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/-VvtqXfr-Xs

Yay, I'm glad someone else had the same idea that I did. I liked your take on this!

Very true to the original. Wasn't expecting that twist ending.

The digging part was good, however the noise just destroyed my ears. I ended up muting the game...
