Help Florence save the Alien! (And save yourself...)
The very first submission to a game jam from a husband/wife/9 week old daughter dev team. We stuck to a standard genre but tried to add some funny puzzle elements.
Florence and the Alien is a game about a young girl who finds a starving little alien crash landed in the forest. She takes it upon herself to save the alien by getting it back home and keeping it fed. Let us know in the comments how many attempts and how quickly you managed to help Florence save the alien!
Controls:
Walk - left/right arrows OR A/D
Jump - space
Grab Alien - up arrow OR W
Restart at any point by holding R (if you get stuck in a pit or a bug...)
For a first submission this is great! Some sounds would have added some more depth to the gameplay, and a few of the animations, the running one in particular could be improved. Well done though.
This is a really nice looking game and I love the theme. I couldn't jump while holding the alien though, so I wasn't sure how to get past the first hole with the alien
Made it all the way to the end before I realised I forgot to grab the alien. Once I realised that I had to push the rocks around to reach the end, it made a lot more sense! Great job for a first submission. I got stuck in a few walls and I feel like there needed to be some music or sounds, but the graphics were good and the puzzles and overall concept were good too! Well done.
Yeah: I got it! I rescued the Alien! Nic egame, took me a while to understand that I had to pick the Alien up though (I'm not the kind of guy that reads before playing ^^). Congratulation for this submition! I would advice you to add game clarity, for example, when you're close to the Alien, show a "Press UP to catch me!".
Congratulations on submitting a complete game on your first game jam! I think the third member of your team may have influenced the design of the alien (who is very cute).
I love this kind of gameplay where you have to manage a way for an other character. It's very funny to see the alien growing up. Movements are a bit slippy, but it's not a problem to enjoy to play. Haha. At the first time I fed the alien too much (I had made the same system in my game, as a bird, if you feed too much the chicks ^^). It's a pleasing small game. Congrat.
