Pretty cool entry, you could add abbility to shot up and down, not only side ways, cool concept, but gets stale pretty fast, it would need a bit more content

I like it. One suggestion is the difficulty could ramp up a bit faster. It felt like almost no enemies until pretty far along.

This was a lot of fun to play. It had the right balance of babysitting and protection. Well done!

I loved the sound effects, especially the way the ultimate says "heal" while it's active, it was charming in it's own way, and helped me realize that it did heal since I skimmed the rules a little quickly. Nice work!

Reviewing entries, I've played several games of this style now. One thing that I found interesting and unique about yours is the need to feed your alien **specific** foods. I enjoyed that extra challenge. Also, you get bonus points for good ol' "programmer-making-crazy-sound-effects-with-his-mouth" effects. Those always make me laugh. Well done!

Nicely done, once i got the hang of all the buttons :)

Did it increase in difficulty? I felt that it was a little easy and didnt get harder as I played so could have done with a little more progression.

Thanks for the fun game to play :D

The abilities all work well and I didn't encounter any bugs or anything, good hit detection, the audio is a lot of fun and the drawings are cute. Good work!

Fun little game. I like all of the different kinds of fruits to feed your critter. I made it up to 33,000 points and called it quits.

Lots of depth in the "magic" system for a compo game, well done. The pet made me realize I don't eat enough fruit, then I ate some, so indirectly you game made me healthier.

I enjoyed all the actions but was waiting for the difficulty to ramp up at some point. Nice sound effects, reminded me of Banjo Kazooie xD
