haha nice. It's pretty effective, I think. Great visuals, too. Spaceman's vertical axis could to be centered. Right now, he jumps horizontally when you change directions.
About half way through I was like "It'd be funny if they were peaceful aliens". I shot them all anyway.

Nice game and surprising twist. Smiley

I first was confused, why A and D didn't work in the tutorial. I would recommend either to allow all actions you mention in the tutorial-message or none. Anything else is not consistent.

In the end I tried to start the spaceship with the right mouse-button, because before I used the right mouse-button for the jet-pack. I think this would be more intuitive than pressing the enter-key.

I seemed to get stuck in the ship a couple of times.  I liked it, though : )

I think it is a considerable talent to be able to integrate the twist into the gameplay. I liked Braid, and this game because of its success in achieving this integration. I wish it was longer, or had a Edmund-like second part; but as (apparently) this was made to be a short experience, the length is not something one should complain about.

Very nice "twist". Maybe it would be better if you continued a little bit more the story, and told about what happens with the characters after the visit to that planet. Something that shows more the consecuences of your actions.

This would ruin the games purity.  Don't think about it traditionally, appreciate it as a vignette.

More like it tells you something about what games are usually like Wink

All in all, a very well done game.  It feels polished, and I really liked the Banjo Kazooie style talk system.  The way you introduce the controls is also very nicely done.  However, the "RMB" and "LMB" bit had me confused.  Since you used "WSAD" for movement, I assumed "RMB" meant you use the R, M and B keys to maneuver with your jetpack.  However, the issue was solved after some quick experimentation, and I understand that you didn't have much space to work with.

This looks so awesome, but is there a way I can work around the fact that my keyboard is AZERTY? (changing Windows' default keyboard language doesn't work).
