Synopsis: Astronauts vs Aliens is an asymmetric fighting game that utilizes bombs  to clear a path to eachother to be able to fight. The astronauts are a team of two players that have to work together to fight the alien, Player Three. 

Player One drops the bombs strategically, and Player Two sets off the bombs, but only in the order in which they were placed down. The alien must avoid these bombs and kill the astronauts in order to win.

The sprites are so dope and the animations add to the vibes this game has. The controls are straightforward and the gameplay was really exciting and made everyone competitive, which was fun. I also love how we started experimenting with different strategies for the astronauts. I think a pause menu/restart button would help, but other than that, great game!

Great job on this, Kurt! I know you’ve encountered some challenges working on this project but overall it is good! Maybe adding on some UI elements that indicates some controls would help players navigate through the space easier. Maybe the player can also have other special abilities compared to the Alien that maybe will help balancing it out a little more.

Definitely seems like an interesting game. You might want to change a little of the aliens. They seem a little too OP. Like maybe have the bombs be set off the moment you place them down? other than that, super consistent with artstyle and the music really adds to the game play!! 

I love the opening screen, the visual design and the music. At the same time, I think the core idea of your game is very good, and the asymmetrical experience is very interesting. However, there needs to be some adjustment in the assignment of tasks for different characters, otherwise the astronaut team loses only one player. Also, some bugs in your game may need fixing.

Seems fun but you may need to change the controls a little bit. The bomb buttons don't work for me(also mac don't even have a right ctrl). Also maybe you can put key names inside the game as UI. It may make it little more clear.

this is a fun game. I know you all had some complications but the end product is good. The art and sound are fantastic. The main point of feedback I say is balancing. At this moment the alien might have to much health based on his enemies current move set.

This seems like a fun game but I can't get the right ctrl to work for some reason...I think if more elements are added to the map and theres more to interact with the game would be more fun. But regardless I'm looking forward to see your presentation in class tomorrow!
