Midterm Project
Directions:
A, D - Move UFBoi horizontally
W, S - Move UFBoi vertically, jump
Left and Right Arrow Keys - Move Alien horizontally
Up and Down Arrow Keys - Move Alien vertically, jump
Guide UFBoi and their alien companion through a series of 2D puzzles as they platform to the end of each level. Solve the puzzles, platform across the stage, and make it to the end of each level to progress onward. Each level will increase in difficulty so exercise caution or trial and error your way through the challenges that stand in their way.
Devlogs talk about creation process and postmortem thoughts.

This is a really interesting mini-game! The aliens in the game are super cute, and I also enjoy the puzzle-solving aspect of it. I do hope, though, that the camera zooming in and out could be a bit smoother, so I can focus more on solving the puzzles~
Really neat idea of a game. Nice sound design! One thing that I would consider to make the game more replayable is having the puzzle pieces procedurally generated inside of the maze so they spawn in different areas every time you replay. I would also consider adding enemies in the maze, player abilities, etc, to make it more interactable/challenging. Also if you could figure out a way to make the puzzle more multiplayer, or a 1v1 situation, would also benefit the player experience. I like it!
I loved the interesting ideas shined in your design! I could see you have think through when during the game play.
However it could be done better, like you can make your characters fully compatible, they need to do more stuff together to finish one goal.
Love the puzzle game as always!
Keep it up! And think more about the narrative!
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice sound effects throughout this game, it felt very satisfying to collect the pieces. One thing it would be good to have a death sequence if you fall out the first level, I ended up falling forever and had to restart. :) Overall I loved the movement of character and the idea merging different game mechanics in one.
Thanks for the feedback!
I like the ending where I gradually piece together the happy ending scene. The maze level feels a bit long but I appreciate the maze disappear after I collected enough puzzles so I don't have to go back and find the way out. The characters sometimes feel like they are stuck on the maze wall. And the collectables (puzzle pieces) linked to the 3rd level gameplay. Small bug: on level one the character could fall into the void.
Thanks for the feedback!
