Hungry Alien by mikkelin
You are the villain. Stocking up on food on measly planet Earth. Try not to get hit by a tank shell.

Yes, you will fly away from the planet (winning!) once you have collected ten animals. I didn't have time to implement proper UI/win screen. Well done!
Pretty fun - those tanks were total dicks, kept interrupting my dinner!
Well done.

Thanks for the feedback. The game is too hard at first, then too easy once you get the hang of it. I didn't have time to tune gameplay properly.
@sev_inf
That's by design. But it would have been nice to have smaller animals move faster and heavier animals move slower. Maybe even be able to lift tanks and trees after a while...
@gameXcore
Thanks for the feedback. I agree.
@Beerman
Well done. I wanted to have tanks early on in development but were only able to put them in the game last minute. Wasn't a proper game until then...
Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking about having an energy bar or shield. Maybe allow the player to heal by scavenging tank wrecks... Didn't make it that far in development, though.
@h.attila
Thank you. I recorded the animal sounds in GarageBand on Mac, and edited the pitch there as well. The other sound effects were generated with as3sfxr.

Yes, would have been nice to be able to pick up the tanks.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, some kind of visual feedback on your progress in the game is certainly missing.
i have to admit, when i saw the spash screen, i thought it was a bad game, but it wasn't, art is curious but ok, you have a consistent style and grabbing animals is really fun.
Good job on your game :)
