"Alien" Infestation

Technically and graphically impressive as always. I wish I could've seen the side effects. And maybe have the enemies/hive things have a little less health. All in all, great entry.

The art and sound for this game are great!

I like the premise but, unfortunately, the 48 hour time crunch meant it was unfinished.

I found the number of shots required to defeat enemies and environment to be so numerous that it was a bit frustrating.

Hey kwis, You can really tell that this game is unfinished.

I like the ideas you had going into this, but I think you had more to do then time to do it.

If you are still wanting to make a metroidvania in 48hours, I recommend you get someone to help you or plan out a design doc before the jam starts.

But as far as proof of concept goes this was a fun little game.

Really lovely graphics and sounds! I couldn't beat the wall though. I included it in my GM48 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/2x0hqeP3RWA

Ahhhh what a cool soundtrack! Love the art also! Control wise I would have liked a mouse aim so you could shoot in different directions, as sometimes it was tricky to make sure things were on the same plane for shooting, but I understand this is probably an intended portion of the difficulty!

This is a fun start to a game and I feel like there's a lot more going on here that I don't necessarily understand - quite a few unanswered questions about what I'm meant to do and where I'm meant to go but I get that the time management wasn't on your side on this one. It's a solid foundation and I hope there's more to this as what you've got so far was a lot of fun :)

Fun game, had nice movement and combat, and the screen effects and change in music were cool. a shame you couldent get it done in time but the groundwork is there for a solid title. Nice job :)

I loved this game's artstyle and aesthetic, especially the little touches like your alien host starting to sway with nausea as you progress further and fight the infection. Your character also handles pretty well, and the trajectory on their bullets makes fighting enemies a little more interesting, since you have to use the terrain to your advantage. The use of music to set the mood was also great. My only real complaint stems from the difficulty curve — since you can't shoot up, some of the blocks of alien spawners take a long time to destroy, and you can get overwhelmed pretty easily if an alien spawns from off-screen.

Huh. It's very adorable but unfortunately I wasn't able to progress very far.

Don't know if I was doing something wrong but the enemies and spawners seemed too hard to kill. Also, having the controls listed somewhere would be nice. Other than that, good art, good music, uses side effect theme, and what's finished seems stable.

Real shame you couldn't finish it in time, the idea was pretty cool, including the side effect one which you also couldn't finish :( I will say though, the art in this game is very nice. The music that plays when you start fighting that horde of aliens too.

Damn :( a lot of potential here, hopefully next time you're able to finish for me it took like 12 tries but you can get there if you don't give up

Would have liked to see the pills finished. overall a fun little platformer :D
