There's something about your blood - the reaction they have to it... it just might be enough to hold them off. This is a rescue mission first, but if you happen to take down one or 100 of these alien freaks in the meantime? Even better...
----------------------------------------------------------------
WASD to move (can be customized on the main menu)
Mouse to aim and shoot. Your blood is your ammo though, so guns blazing might not be the best tactic.
Follow the guiding arrow at your feet to find the next injured civilian and reach them before they die. Stand next to them to donate the blood they need to survive, but make sure you leave enough for yourself.
Red cell count a little low? You can always get more from the chunks of dead alien. If you're into that sort of thing.

I like how your blood is the source for everything, you gotta think about the way you shoot but also if you want to donate some in order to save a dying person, perhaps the best choice would be to let him/her die an recover some health before trying to save the next.
Art-wise, the game is simple yet elegant. Indicating everything through colors(your life, enemy life, etc) works perfectly well.
Nothing much to say, well done sir! ^^
I'll point out what is good and what is bad in my opinion:
Good:
- two types of enemies, well different one from the other.
- Clear interface, points towards objective straight and clear.
- The mechanic is clever, i like having to micromanage.
Bad:
-It's still a gun. It uses blood ammo, but i feel like it's just another rifle.
-It's not clear if killing aliens has any impact. You might have wanted to put win conditions clear on the screen, if there's any.
- Really aseptic. It has no kind of personification, no immersion at all.
Overall i really liked your game although i don't feel it is really on spot with the theme of the contest.
Overall I rated it 3/5 because of the entertainment value and the smoothness.
It's an awesome game! The concept is pretty cool and I think it fits very nice with the theme. I already played many times and have improved my high score to 11, but I know that I can do more! h0h0. Marvelous work, Chris :D
I really enjoyed how it's very conventional, while there's a twist there that's not instinctive, but makes sense once you play for a while. It enables learning and understanding, and that's great.
At first I thought you were an alien there to suck blood..... Well you looked exactly like a Grey. So that looks anti-human and aggressive.
The way the colour and concept tied together in everything is brilliant! having the blood drained out of you provided a very strong visualisation of the concept, and picking up the chunks to fill you back up, everything, was great. Same with the civilians.
The graphics are just phenomenal. The balance is pretty amazing, that there's even sound is just stupid good.
Please please tell me there's a way for me to learn that aberration effect? :D
Loved this. Everything about it is cool. That simple mechanic of shooting hurts you too really forces you to play more tactically.
Here's an odd suggestion, odd in that it would make it harder. If the towers were slowly rotating. Now they are kind of safe. It would have been fun to know how many civilians one failed to save too.
Graphics as usual. Stunning. Very smooth gameplay, though I agree with the other comments on that aiming was a bit hard.
Rocks.
Great game all and all, enjoyed playing it.
Really well done! Good Job!
