It's a simple game, but I love the art for all the different types of aliens!
First, hats off to your artists - this game is visually delightful. The aliens are all fun and weird in the right ways. Sound effects for eating are spot on. A fine little snack of a game. Great work!
I'm a little confused about the end - did the food make me understand them? Or just that I was hanging around so long that now I know them and I'm a horrible thief? :( Also, I don't understand where the encyclopedia is. I see you have controls for it, but I don't get where to use them, sorry.
For your confusion about the end, we want to express that the raccoon is becoming more like the alien because it has eaten so much alien food lol! And about the encyclopedia, there's an icon named Today's Special on the right side of the screen below the satiety display,click it to open the encyclopedia, maybe we should make it more clear to see. It's a precious advice!
Other than that, really solid. Nice one! :D
The character design and the animations are very cool.
A few suggestion are: allowing for diagonal movement, putting transparent circles below the characters to serve as "shadow", making the game window smaller or putting a full screen button (in my 1080p monitor I couldn't fit the game into my screen).
Regardless of these, it's a very interesting and creative game. Congrats!
I couldn't quite figure out how to put on my mask, but I did eat a lot of food! :joy:
Kind of wish the movement wasn't as grid locked... (like I couldn't press up and left at the same time) but it didn't hurt the experience too much.
For a first gamejam entry, this is crazy impressive!
