But yeah, overall I really loved it. Great job!!! :)
It reminds me of the oddball RPG aesthetic from the late 90s, except it looks better than an N64 and it happens to be only a few minutes long.
I'm also going to fight several of the above commenters — the ending is anticlimactic but _hilarious_. I don't think anything else would've been nearly so good.
The game is so fun and beautiful ^^
thanks for playing!
The only thing I would say for criticism is I was not sure if what I was doing to the moles was working.
Other then the GREAT Job!!!

It also took me a while to figure out the part about the key in the end. It is *really* obvious in hindsight, but maybe if that big stick tilted a little to indicate that something was moving in a certain direction. I completely missed the mini map at first, and I didn't quite know what to make of the rumbling... (which is 100% my own fault :rolling_eyes:)
It wasn't a big problem though, and overall I had fun playing this. :thumbsup:
I loved the opening cut scene and dialogue. The characters on the planet were a nice addition, some of exchanges you have with them made me laugh.(Especially the guy with the cows.)
Game play was a bit weird at first, but after getting used to the controls I enjoyed it. (Picking up cows and flinging them was fun, until I realized I had to collect them all again. lol) Puzzle difficulty was great. I never got confused or lost when trying to complete one.
This was a well polished game and it shows. Your team did a great job.
The only thing I would of added an option to strafe, as turning the ship can be tedious at times. The mini map was a nice touch though.
