Oops - I forgot I can't use outside assets, so this is actually a jam entry.

Game summary:

This game comes PACKED with action, adventure and gameplay rivaling the CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED E.T. for Atari. This has more story than the back of a taco bell HOT SAUCE packet, more ACTION than your last friday night sitting at home watching TV. More ADVENTURE than indiana jones puppy at daycare! Don't pass up on this great game.

This game is ON SALE NOW for the amazing price of ABSOLUTELY FREE. If you ever dreamed of changing the WORLD, you should play this game.


Competition notes:

Art for the walking dude, big alien ship and tilemaps are from opengameart.org. All other art created painfully by hand.

All code, except for FlxExtendedButton and Fx classes (which were created last weekend), were created over the last 48 hours.

All music created using FL Studio.

All sound created using audacity.

Looks like I can do infinite jumps. The sprites aren't reallly fitting, but the intro was amazing. You've also got a lots of points for innovation and theme :)

I think Larry said it best when he said, "WHAT THE ****!?" I like the sound and being able to fly. Great effort!

Was a little confused about what to do and I think I swam into space, but nice job on the art and theme!

The guys are flying when we hold down the jump key, weeeee! Nice intro though, the game itself felt a bit weird.

Very awesome effects and story "delivery" polish. The jumping and movement could have definitely used some work, but the base concept is pretty decent. :)

Music, graphics, and humor were great! High marks for those. :)

I was surprised by the story. The "What the ****" part made me giggle =P Neat concept. The controls are a little iffy but I definitely enjoyed playing it.

Music got a little overwhelming, but the concept was cool and the game was fun enough :)
