My Alien Life! by muromets
You are lost in this strange planet the locals call Earth, you were capable of infiltrating what appears to be some sort of base of operations and your task is to blend perfectly and learn from these humans. Unfortunatelly, you were not prepared to face your true, tiny and abundant enemy!
* EDIT * Fixed some hideous bug that i just saw this morning, but was at work, so the update is up just now, some of the UI was hidden thus making progress impossible. Should be updated by now :C
The game is completed, but some features I was not able to finish, namely some moving bacteria to act as an enemy, the duration of the game is 4 minutes, try to get the best highscore!
Made using Unity3D V.2017.1.0f3, Aseprite

The controls are a bit finicky, for example, you cannot walk diagonally anymore if you hit an obstacle, you will only continue in the direction that did not encounter an obstacle.
Also, whenever you complete a task, the character seems to freeze for a few seconds before he can start moving again. Is that voluntary? If so, maybe have some sort of feedback that we cannot move right ahead.
Which this brings me to my next point, it would be nice if it had some sort of sounds, anything works, even a simple click. This is just so that the player feels rewarded for his actions.
Lastly, I think there is a bug with the interactions, if you move while interacting, the interaction happens and the whole loading UI is ongoing, but you're still moving. I used this to my own advantage so I can interact with bacteria covered objects without getting infected because I was walking away towards my next objective at the same time.
Neat UI with the whole room names :)
Fun game to play nonetheless! Good Job!
-The game is beatable, but it is rather hard, the way is to go first to the Meeting room and do everything there since it is the hardest task
-Thanks for all the bug reports, will try to patch as many as I can as soon as I can
-Unfortunatelly I just ran out of time to implement any sound / music :C
-The freeze after using each object is meant to be , but it definetely needed some feedback
if(interacting)
rigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(0,0)
It would have been interesting to hear some sound as the alien performed human tasks. But understandably, sound can be hard.
I don't generally enjoy clicker games, but I think you did a good job on this game. Well done.

Congratulations on making it to the compo! That sounds like a lot of pressure, so I wish you good luck!
Given the conditions, this is rather impressive. The game looks and controls alright, although it gets a bit sluggish at certain moments. Still, content wise, it's a challenging time management collect-a-thon of sorts. I ended up more often than not deciding to procrastinate cleaning myself, and ended up with an impossibly slow character. No one to blame but myself on that one :P
Keep the good work coming! Here's hoping this game lives up to your expectations. Our team wishes you the best of luck! :whale:
Also, perhaps you can change the color of medkits after they have been used? That would make it easier to keep track fo which ones you have used and which ones you have not.
I really like the concept, though. Well done!
