Description

What exactly is cheese?
You are an alien (well… technically _NOT_ an alien, since… you don´t have the concept of being alien to yourself) just traveling home from work with your buddy. All of a sudden, you receive a mysterious signal, telling you about… cheese? You’re intrigued by that word:
Cheese 🧀.

And since curiosity never killed the cat, (what an absurd phrase!) you and your buddy decide to follow the signal to get cheese. But you don´t know where that signal is coming from. So you will have to explore a few planets and gather all the intel you can!

Good luck and may cheese be with you!

Hi! I liked the visuals, the models and colors were good, but I think there might be too much post-processing effects.

Nice Game great Design but i think a little to much effects

Very nice game, it was fun! I liked the graphics and the audio. I loved the audio comment "Sorry aliens, but your cheese is on another planet", it made me smile.

The only problem I got was that when going down, the spaceship stays close to the bottom of the screen, so I cannot see obstacles arriving, the camera should make sure I can see things in the direction in which I'm going.

Good job!

Made me question my existence. There is a surprising ammount of content here, so well done on that! The game could use a volume slider though, because for me the audio was too loud. I wish there was a way to manipulate the asteroids, this would allow to avoid having to just fly through a barrage of bullets or make it easier to avoid rockets. The audio was top-notch lol. Good job!

I liked how the asteroids bounced off the ship. I think the ship need more inertia. It seemed liked it cam to a complete stop when you let go of the key.

I quite liked it! Very memey/humourous vibes! Good stuff! Agreed with @quetzakol it was hard to see obstacles coming sometimes. Other than that it was good :)

EDIT: Also, it would be awesome if the missiles that follow you could blow up other misssiles and ships! :)

The visuals were really good and the last level gave me a really good challenge which I liked. It made it feel rewarding when I completed it. The only thing I think I could really suggest is making the camera more centered on the player and when I would move up or down I would hit things without even seeing them. Same with moving to the right.

Nice game, short and sweet! :cheese: I especially liked the humor it has, very funny. Also the graphic is well polished, and the audio is great.
I wish there was an instruction arrow at the start of the level too, It took a few minute for me to realize that I need to go downward to progress. XD

Nice graphics and audio. Unfortunately for me winning was rather a matter of luck. It's hard to see obstacles in the lower parts of the screen when camera just doesn't want to show you what's below.

I absolutely love the concept of a quest for cheese - brilliant! I like how the asteroids move about. This is a fun little game and for me, the music really stands out - great work :)

Wonderful 3D graphics! Good job!

This game looks and sounds amazing. I don't know what more to say about that - it's really just about as polished as it needs to be. I enjoyed it a lot - once I figured out what to do. Because the camera seemed to really fight the UFO going up or down, and the obstacles were moving sideways, I assumed the game was a sidescroller. I played it like that for a good couple of minutes before I figured something should be happening and tried pushing on the bottom, but I might not have tried it even then if not for the theme.

Great game! I feel like "psychedelic" is the best descriptor for this game. The graphics are pretty wild and they really fit with the absurdity of Aliens looking for cheese. The music is a great fit for the vibe as well.

Nice job on this.

Nicely done!

What I liked:
- fun concept
- graphics and animation (especially a the one at the end of each level)
- space theme without having the player shoot stuff
- game pad controls felt nice
- strategically bumping into asteroids to clear the way
- music

What could be improved (in my opinion):
- less post processing
- more forgiving collisions between asteroids and shield
