I really like the concept, I fee like there is a lot of potential, I was frustrated I couldn't do more in the game :p
It's a complete entry, so that's very cool

I really like your art style and the gameplay has a sense of tension and chase! Overall, great work!

Nice vertical slice, was a little confusing figuring out what buttons did what, but otherwise a solid experience

You never turn your back on family...

Saved my alien brother!!

Nice mechanics, I like the idea of being able to abduct other people and then wear their skin. Reminds me of the game Prototype. Could be a great concept if expanded on. I only ever saw powers in slots 1 and 2, is there some secret for having a power in slots 3 and 4 like the instructions say about "Choose Abilities"?

The sound is good and the art is fun (assuming you made all the assets yourselves?). Great job!

Haha I notice I can just walk off the ship on the ship screen.

Really good game idea, with the theme being "collector" I definitly didn't expect stealth games, well done! Also the abbilities are very creative and a lot of fun to use! The light green area around everything is a little anoying though, maybe make the camera static or confined, and you can just walk of the spaceship!

@zeq maan, I totally forgot about UFO colliders :D. There's special "Stun" power for Guard npcs when you wear their skins. Yeah, games like this should have tutorial to explain stuff

Interesting mechanic! Nice job on the graphics too. You can use the send to ship mechanic through walls which is kinda funny haha This could definitely be a good idea to expand on though. Well done!

Really cool visual style and concept but a bit more detailed tutorial would have been nice so playing wouldn't have been that much trial and error. Anyway really enjoyable entry!
