Love the gameboy feel

Looked interesting, but I had no way of trying it.

graphics and all were tweaking out on my phone
also the web link on your ld page is broken

Thanks, the link is fixed now

Don't put misleading links. You also need to put link to source code, because you submitted game to the compo category. No rating for now.

Will get that sorted after work, bit of a rush so late in uk last night

Cool game gg guys !

Source and Windows Version now added

I couldn't read the windows file (I suppose you need a certain player to read that file).
So I had to download it on Android.

First and most important comment : you can't restart a level (or I haven't found the way). It's very annoying ! I had to restart the game multiples times to be able to test the latter levels, and I had to redo the first levels.
There is also no tutorial. It should be okay because you could fiddle around and find out about how the game works, but since there is the "you can't restart" problem, you're scared of trying new things out.

The concept is interesting, and the controls okay... You could have used the touch screen in a better way I think. Having half the screen taken by buttons is meh.

The graphics' quality is poor, and sometimes feel heterogeneous (the tile style is completely different from the rest for example).

Anyway : First Ludum Dare Game I tried on mobile platform, was worth testing.

It could really use a restart button for levels.

Cool game, though I couldn't finish the 4th level

Interesting. A post-compo version could use a way to reset levels, or at least get out of your situation with the characters swapping. Love that you went with Android and our aliens were cute.

Thank you for the constructive criticisms, I will get a post-compo version with retry functionality and look into the Windows executable later tonight.

Great idea but I wasn't able to complete any levels. Playing on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Whenever I pressed the movement button on a single alien they would pop up to the top left and then fall. Water filling seemed inconsistent as well. One play the water only filled to the bottom, another time it filled to the middle, and once the water filled to the top of the level. I was unable to get to the ship successfully. Finally, the scoreboard did not fit on my screen, it extended out to the right and made it unreadable.

I love the idea. A restart button would be great, I hate to repeat once and again the same screen.

Interesting concept. I like being able to play it on my phone but I got stuck and could not restart :(

Cool idea. Frustrating to start over again everytime. Couldn't pass level 3.

Fun concept, but could use a restart level button.

I get the feeling a Restart button is the first thing I add in my next Ludumdare

Original idea, I tried the android version :D

F-Secure warned me about the Windows version being on a malicious-rated website; I didn't have an android phone to test it on, either. :(

I have changed the Windows Version to download from Google Docs now

Nice concept :) However it's irritating that I had to replay all the levels after failure. I'd add the "retry" or level menu features as next updates.

I played my phone as Windows installer doesn't work.

nice game, good job!

Good game:)

Could only play it on the pc, which makes for an awkward interface. Didn't quite make it through unfortunately as I failed. Fun concept!

I like the premise - it has a sort of Lemmings or Lost Vikings feel. Unfortunately as many others have said I lost patience with trying the game very quickly since the lack of restart means figuring out how the mechanics work by experimenting is not encouraged. Couldn't work out level 3 (would have spent more time trying if I hadn't had to exit and reload the app every time!)

The source link says there are no files?

sourcelink should be fine now

Cool! :D

Neat idea, liked it!

Trying to download directly from phone, main link is Install->Login->404, and second is Download->.apk->Can't install...
Android 4.2

That was Firefox. Chrome says device not supported on first link, and tries to extract apk instead of installing on second

Post Jam Version now available on Android Store
