We Don't Know How to Approach You by Drusilla
Hey. I'm pretty new to programming, starting with Lua two or three weeks ago. So, this is mostly a learning thing for me.
You are an alien visiting earth. You have to choose the right form and opening line to get the locals to accept you and offer you fruit.
Most likely they will sends waves of bleu cheese and dates at you.
Select form/words with the mouse.
Use WASD/Arrow keys to move, z/space to 'shoot'.
R to return to the dubiously titled character select thing, ESC to exit.
Soon I'll figure out how to pause the 'music'.
Made with Love2D v. 0.10.1, Famitracker for the noises, and GIMP. Source in the .love.
UPDATE: I fixed the Win 32, otherwise you can get L枚ve here: https://love2d.org/

The "locals" seem to just spew an endless spray of bullets that eventually are undodgable. I did a Cow+moo and "beat" the game I guess, but there wasn't really anything that really made sense to me?
Great entry!

I wanted to be a harmonious snail alien but Earth just wouldn't have me :(
Linux version seems not to work, may be because of lack of resources. But windows one works fine. I like the mechanics of choosing different forms and words before reveal yourself to people and see their reaction. Nice and simple idea, perfectly fits for theme.
Managed to both win and to kill everybody, which gave me the curse of being followed by deadly flying potatoes for the rest of my days apparantly! Fun fact: Had 0.5 hp left
I liked the idea - it's certainly different! I seemed to just get eradicated with a hailstorm of cheese with most combinations. Maybe one day I will find love.
Also, as someone else has said, the downloads page could do with a different colour scheme, but that's not part of the game so it's fine. I'd like to see how you could expand on this. Good job, especially if you haven't been programming for long!
