Fun game, with challenging gameplay. The graphics style and general mood was excellent, especially the newspaper between the levels was a nice touch.

Cool game, maybe too challenging; those stupid humans are as fast as me :P. The decoys are pretty useful.

I love the gameplay, and the AI is pretty much spot on. A great joy to play. =)
Well done!

There was lag when I rotated the ship, was a bit annoying.

I agree with the other guy; decoys are quite useful. Without them, might be near impossible to catch those bugs! :D

I set them around in a circle thinking out was good to go, but those military people... so many bullets.

Nice work!

Really fun and innovative! (And I mean it). You should change the link name from "Windows" to "Windows | OS/X | Linux" as Java is capable of running everywhere.

The graphics are very good and gameplay is fun. I also thought the UI was very polished. Some sound effects and music would greatly enhance the mood of the game.

Very similar to my own game, but I love the top-down aspect of yours, and it felt good!

I considered a similar interpretation of the theme. Nice to see some actual level design in an entry :)

Sorry bro, couldn't run. Win 7, java 1.7, nothing happens when I start it.

Really spectacular entry!!! Great level of difficulty, theme/story is implemented in an excellent way, just wish there was some music/sound :)

This is great! I wish there was some audio to really fill it out, but overall very fun and challenging gameplay!

there are some neat ideas here, but I don't think they're ever really given time to shine. I quickly realized that using cloaking and decoys isn't really necessary, as you can easily complete most levels by just chasing civilians off the edge of the map and tractor beaming the stragglers with little resistance.
I can imagine that there are a lot of cool puzzles and encounters you could cook up with the mechanics that you've introduced, but I just don't feel like any of the game's current levels really take full advantage of those mechanics.

Very well done. There are a good number of mechanics and it's fun to experiment with how the AI reacts to the different powers. The story parts were funny :)

Awesome game! You really nailed the theme.

I actually thought you were saving people!
The twist ending was great, and it was technically solid!

The ending and newspaper screens could do with a bit of a backdrop, but other than that, great work

Very challenging. I don't see graphics like this often, but I like it. :D

That was some original idea! Loved the green ray effect and how it drags the people back to you, as well as the intelligent decoy add so it facilitates the process. A soundtrack wouldn't hurt!

This was a great concept and very well executed. The only thing I did not understand was how humans could consistently outrun an alien spaceship. Maybe lower repulsion speed just a bit.

Excellent game. The gameplay is solid and it looks good. I do believe it's missing something that shouldn't be overlooked, and that being audio.
