Cool puzzle game!

Easy to learn and kick aliens into the air.
Cool building system, the game can be expanded and new and varied structures added.
It would also be nice to add more threats to tempt the player to make the wrong decision.

Thanks for playing!

It's a great game. It's well-made and fits the theme perfectly. If the graphics were improved, the game would be a cut above the rest.

Never played a puzzle platformer like this before, awesome! And this lore goes deep! Man, and what a twist at the end with the user input thing. Wish I had known it before, then I would've put in something much funnier! Anyway, good game, good job you guys!

At first I thought this was going a cute lemmings game, then I got hit with a crazy twist that rocked my perception of the world. Audio design was perfect and the sprites sold the narrative well.

I was kind of surprised to see a story mode option. I think for a jam game especially, you don't want to create so many levels that you feel the need to have "shorter" path, rather focus on the levels you do have.

I did enjoy the chain sending aspect, but it felt a little tacked on. The color was a bit subtle, so I didn't note that one of the characters were different, and all the questions happened right before I got to write my own version, so there there wasn't that much of an attachment

What a wonderful grandfather paradox, in which I'm a direct participant. Wow! Make this your wallpaper so more people can see it.

Very nice twist indeed, though I shouldn't have read the comments before playing :P Love the physics based "lemmings"!

I really like the audio, the art style is neat as well. The gameplay reminds me of the Lemmings game and it is great. :D
Overall, it is a nice entry! Good job! :D

Very nice signal spin on a lemmings type game and can see how you could keep expanding the game around this

Reminded me of Lemmings, but I didn't expect that! Good artstyle and sound too.

that twist at the end completely rocked my perception of the world! wish i knew about the user input sooner to write something unhinged
