You know picking favourites shouldn't be possible. I always let my 3rd dude get in the ship though :wink:

Haha thanks @akros that was me at 11pm on the 2nd day, super-tired, just adding some fun :)

Absolutely wonderful! Loved the audio. Great simple puzzles that hint at the possibilities if you continue with this game! Very polished.

This Lemmings-like is very innovative and a perfect fit for the theme. It's great that you took the theme and made it central to the gameplay itself instead of just the theme. Good stuff!

Where's the source code? I think you have to spread that for COMPO.

Fun game. I liked the retro style graphics and the spacemen's cries were certainly right in the funny department (though I got a _little_ annoyed hearing them over and over again, but since I didn't find time for any sound in my game, I certainly don't think I get to complain about not enough different sounds in someone else's).

One thing I'd like to see is to be able to switch between abilities quicker - scroll wheel maybe?

Nice game. I would add one feature to it: spacebar to pause the game so I have to move my mouse less quickly. That would also allow more complicated puzzles for the player to solve.

Still though, very fun game.

Very high scores all round! Like a darker version of Lemmings :laughing: Played it through and felt it was very well balanced. Could use some number keys to quickly jump through options. Very well done!

Loved the concept, and the voice acting was super fun! I guess the game needs a better UI for selecting the actions.The game play really fits the theme! Overall I really enjoyed it. Best of luck :)

It could use some keyboard shortcuts for switching between actions. In general fun game almost like lemmings maybe you can develop it further :)

I like the graphics and particle effects :D Very innovative, and also controls work very smoothly. But yeah, this needs some sort of keyboard shortcuts!

I felt so stupid when I finally found out how the last level worked. :laughing: I also love the voice acting! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: What I did miss were some keyboard shortcuts as mentioned above. Other than that, a great game. :smile:

Took several tries before I figured out how to control the game (was trying to use keyboard), but once I got it going, it was really cute and original with some nice music :)

Really solid game, gameplay was straightforward, easy to get into, and I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the humor and sound effects and the artstyle was very consistent throughout the whole thing. This one gets full marks for me :) Well done.

This is really excellent, I mean it. Great fun, just the right amount of puzzle and action. I love that the map spells LD and the sounds are excellent! "Wait for me!". Be proud of this, it is great :)

I really liked this game. It worked great with the theme, and was darkly hilarious. Nothing like using the bodies of your comrades to make sure you survive. I totally think this could have been expanded into an online game. Great job!

Nice game! Hearing the voices the first time made me smile :D These are very good and are fitting really good. The theme is clearly adapted and everything looks and feels nice. Your note at the end made me smile too ;)

Keep up the good work!
