AWESOME! tempted to pull out my stylus & tablet and tryhard by playing this like OSU... mechanics were super fun and the end of level point tally was satisfying! could not tell if the constant L's in chat were a social commentary on Twitch's toxic communities or if im just dogwater at the game..

HEAVILY considering buying a drawing tablet for the showcase (Provided we get in!) just to see if the game works well on it. Cause why not! So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for your time! 

P.S... Perhaps its both... #ThinkAboutIt

im a huge fan of the game design, i think its top tier. perfect mario party minigame quality, with a much higher skill ceiling, i definitely am feeling like i wanna keep playing it i think its rlly clever that the bosses also utilizes circle movements. and the art totally works and i definetly laughed multiple times, excellent

Developer

I've tried more played straight horror games in the past, but they never find their legs. I've defaulted to doing what I know best- silly stuff! I've found that if a jam game breaks (which it will) it takes you right out of the horror. But if a jam game breaks and you're already laughing, you're already in a silly mood and can "just roll with it". If you laughed even once that means I did my job! So glad you enjoyed. Thank you so much for your time!

sooo fun, that Disney mom will be the death of me

Developer

Disney adults will likely be the death of all of us, I fear. Thank you for your time!

Crop circle minigame was really cool, haven't really seen anything like that before. The first boss took me out real quick the first time. Finally figured it out and had a good time with that. Love all of the little narrative detail around. Idk if the "streaming" part landed for me, but would be interesting to see how you tie that all in.

Developer

Thank you so much for your time! If the martian's background on social media is a bit of a mystery to you, All I'll say is to keep an eye on an extra special game coming out sometime next year where a familiar face may or may not make an appearance... Say, what's all this about the lost continent of Mu, anyway?

Would be a goated DS game

I don't have a drawing tablet but I am very tempted to steal someone's to play this. Thanks for your time!

Very fun, scratches that Pokemon Ranger itch lol. Like others have said I'd love to play this on a tablet/touchscreen. Maybe I should find my old osu tablet... I think getting a significantly higher score would be a lot easier that way! I love all the personalities and the simulated chat, especially that you can contribute to chat yourself!

My only complaint is my 100k+ score run got ended after clearing a map! I cleared it and somehow died right after the map reset.

Developer

Thank you so much for your time! I'll look into the random Martian death bug. Wondering if its some funky hitbox shenanigans.

Lots of fun to play, a fresh set of mechanics, and a neat framing for the game's story. Cool stuff!

Glad you enjoyed, and I doubly appreciate you taking the time to read the story! All I’ll say is that if you’re a fan of the little gray Martian, you certainly haven’t seen the last of him! Thanks again for your time!

Very fun loop! Would love to play on a wacom tablet with a pen!

Developer

The entire time we’d been developing this, we’ve been wondering what this played like on a drawing tablet! It’s not tested for one, but it should work?  Seems like it would be fun. Regardless, thank you for playing!
