i can seriously relate to this game, although perhaps not in the way the dev intended. see, for a while now, i lost my mom to cancer. anyways, it kinda brought things back if you know what i mean. 'nough said :)

This is one of those rare occasions where you just think, I looked at the screen for five minutes after I finished and just thought.

I don't really think a game is art when it only has one real option. You protect the humans that fed you to exploit you. That is all. The other option is to let the humans die then die yourself as well. I personally dislike this game because to me it seems pointless. I know that few here would agree, but good art for me is something that can fit into any setting. This only supports the idea of you wanting to protect the humans by sacrificing yourself, because they gave you an apple and what some milk? Further more, if it is supposed to be a game its an interactive media, thus I feel that being able to move around your alien to either be hit or let humans die. Is way to limited. I feel that while a game like loneliness can justify the simplicity because of its message. This game is too limited for its message. Because of how limited it is presented. Its not a message given through art, its a forced message closer to propaganda.

It's kind of strange, really, when you protect the people who has accepted you, even though 'you' happened to be a giant alien who seems to absorb a lot of punishment during the war. And the people you save may or may not affect the endgame. Overall, a touching game to look after.

How do you even win this game? a tank comes from behind and a soldier comes from in front and I cant block bullets from both directions at once?

The West is at War. Democracy under Siege. People need to stand up. Learn and research fully before you chose a side.

how am I supposed to block bullets when the farmer guy runs faster than me, and runs ahead, and the bullets are then fired into him point blank?

I really want to give this a high grade, but just can't ignore the fact that it is a game. And as a game, it needs solid and enjoyable mechanics, which it lacks. In my opinion, interactivity deduces from the feel and meaning the creator is aiming for. Could have been an excellent short video, but not a game. Still, the artistic effort is commendable :)

I really liked the music especially the fact that it was partially based on the alien's steps and it getting hit but the bullets and missiles. as far as the game it's self, I'm really not sure how to feel about it.

When I first started this game, I felt that this was going to be a sad game. When I finished... it was sad, but also beautiful. 5/5

Cobra Lionfist, you're pretty lucky. My heroic guy refused to hide behind me, making the achievement impossible as he'd run to the far right of the screen and get shot in the head by a machine gun repeatedly until he died.

What a short and depressing game.. :c I still really liked it though. I love simple games like this. Simple but powerful.

remember, life is short and actions maybe not rewarded as big as you did OR last as long as you wanted to. But live and be as the person you want to be, the rest will come along, and you will regrets nothing.
Dunno if i understood that by thinking of it sitting on my chair when the game ended or when playing the game ... anyway i give you a 5/5 and a cookie.

it's amazing to think there is no way to attack back. All that ppl attacking the alien and the family and all they do is try to protect themselves.

I felt similar to the alien, a connection I cant really describe. A friend in the good times and then a guardian in the bad. This game really describes how hard it is to be the righteous person we all want to be. That's why I think people are rarely that way in real life. Because they don't want to be the alien...
Thanks for making this game.
