What do you think?

Hey Devs,

I gave it a go. First of all, this is a really well done demo, I have seen tons of poorly done demos on this site, but you guys made a good one here. Also the tutorial is pretty solid. I tried it on insane difficulty and it was indeed difficult haha, though I do think the enemies feel a bit bullet spongy, I think many weaker enemies would make more sense. I do love the visuals and the variety of enemies and ore. The crafting is also a nice touch. All in all, very well done. Keep up the great work!

ABOUT THIS GAME

Find us: Steam | Discord | Twitter | Facebook

Something Ate My Alien is a 2D, digging and puzzle platformer game where you take the role of the AI Antalasia, and control your little Alien blobs to explore the planets you visit! Your task is to dig through the ground of the different worlds and find all the items required by the pirate that is hijacking you. During the adventure on each planet you have to battle environmental dangers, fight off wildlife, solve secret puzzle chambers, and all this while surviving on a depleting oxygen supply and a threat far scarier than the local wildlife.

Key Features

  • Dig through the depths of 4 different planets and collect as much loot as possible.

  • Solve puzzle chambers by pushing and pulling blocks to reveal secret treasures.

  • Survive by finding oxygen recharge stations and dodging environmental obstacles.

  • Fight the hostile flora and fauna with your choice of 6 specialized weapons.

  • Upgrade and build your equipment by collecting items and energy.

  • Find hidden relics and collect achievements.

  • Engage in bigger battles with the scary huge threats guarding the hidden secrets.


DIG

Guide the Aliens to find all the resources the pirate demands, and any additional items you find you can use to build upgrades. Some planets are rich in gems, others in specific minerals, fossils, artefacts or gases. Collect as much as you can!

SOLVE PUZZLES

Each planet has an array of puzzle chambers that once solved reveals hidden treasures. Pull and push the blocks into the correct positions to get the tokens containing parts of the code you need to unlock new places and move your adventure forward.

SURVIVE

Your Aliens need to survive in the perilous environments while digging and exploring. Find oxygen recharge stations and beware of pools of corrosive, super heated or poisonous substances, falling rocks, slippery ice, toxic gases and open flames.

FIGHT

There are 6 unique weapons all with different mechanics to defend yourself against the abundant flora and fauna. Look out for charging animals, flying creatures, armoured beasts and be careful walking underneath hanging fungi.

UPGRADE

Use the items the pirate doesn't want to build new upgrades for the Aliens. What should you pick? Faster mining? Better guns? Bigger oxygen tanks? Longer lasting jet packs? Or perhaps something else to aid your Aliens while exploring the caves?

THE BIGGER THREAT

The same alien race that left behind a maze of locked teleporters and the hidden codes to unlock them also left behind something very dangerous to guard it all, a fail safe. This looming threat is continuous and the more chests you unlock, the more unsettling the threat becomes...

We changed the Guld enemy to be a golden yellow rather than red, purely because he was so hard to see on Tartarus. Fun fact; the name Guld means Gold in Swedish, so the new colour is even more fitting :)
