GAMEPLAY WALKTHROUGH 
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...
This Menu background of Aura is my own (Kats) personal favourite of the 4 different ones in SAMA. The soft purple/blue hues with the glowing turquoise sparkles feels so calming to me. :)

Can you guess which planet each banner belongs to solely on these descriptions? Metis: Rich in fauna & flora; Lelantos: Swamps & natural gas; Aura: Frozen & little sunlight; Tartarus: Hot & active. #indiegame #indiedev #TGIF #somethingatemyalien #sama
Some screenshots from Metis, the most Earth-like planet in our game "Something Ate My Alien" to celebrate #EarthDay2020 -s 50th anniversary. You can experience this green and lush level in our demo on our page!
Kat's task today: Testing achievements & making sure they execute properly. Playing our whole game with some extreme settings to get some of these done will keep her busy!
We are entering the last part of development before releasing our game and things are starting to feel complete. We are currently addressing a few things that we’d want to adjust before the final version will be coming out in June.
Found this very first version of the main character from 3 years ago. It's changed a bit since then!

Inits are creatures living inside ice blocks on Aura and only their legs stick, where it constantly rotates ice balls for water intake. It drops sharp ice crystal projectiles so be careful when walking underneath it. #gamedev #indiedev #MondayBlues #sama
