This is such a cool game! For somebody who doesn't play much it is easy to get into and not knowing what's coming creates a nervous feeling with almost a sense of butterflies in your stomach! The artistry work in the game is really effective and engaging. So far I really find the game very addictive and exciting.

If you're a fan of Steamworld Dig, then this game is a no-brainer. It has more combat and way more puzzles and both are a good thing. While the art and polish are a little less refined than Steamworld Dig's, Image & Form games has like 20 people, while Rokabium games are 2 people (as far as I know). It's a great feat to create such a charming and satisfying game with such a small crew. And considering the lack of "gathering" games on steam (read: gathering/mining for the sake of gathering/mining, not crafting), It's a must buy for fans of the niche genre. For anyone not accustomed to Steamworld Dig or I Dig it type games, you'll find a lovely puzzle game with a great sense of progression and even fulfills somewhat of a power fantasy by the time all upgrades are built (the final weapon is insanely awesome). That said, if you haven't played Steamworld Dig, you should. It's $10 and iconic in its own right. After Steamworld Dig though. you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal for these 'gathering' thrills. (SD2 is more of the same and pricier than SAMA).
It could use more variety in terms of level layouts, puzzles and bosses and it's not particularly comfy couch friendly due to small text sizes and cumbersome controller support (I'd recommend switching to twin stick in the options), but if you love games like the Steamworld Dig series, this might still be worth a playthrough. Be careful with the difficulty selection though, because enemies spawn frequently.
Great, fun game for the price. You have to like digging games and collecting. Puzzles are of varying difficulty but all soluable. Only two really had me head scratching for a while but a bit of thought and experimentation and I eventually solved them. Great controls, nice ability progression. For a game written by just one person I'm amazed.
This is a decent mining game, in a similar vein to SteamWorld Dig, although it feels overall less polished. There's a decent amount of content, the music is relaxing and it has a good mix of enemies. There are 4 worlds, and on each there are 10 puzzles hidden within the depths, which get difficult pretty quickly. Death can feel very unfair; enemies rolling into you from offscreen, or falling on your head, or being able to pass straight through the blocks. The whole 'ransom' thing ('story') is totally dispensable. You could easily have the game be about collecting resources and needing a certain amount, without the 'evil AI' holding the mining ship hostage, which doesn't make much sense. - It's a bit frustrating that every time you mess up, or you make a wrong move in the puzzle rooms, you have to start the whole thing from scratch. - Switching between mining and shooting is a bit fiddly - Good music, although there's only one track per world about 20 seconds long - I never went below 80% oxygen; I'm not really sure what the point of it was
Gets old fast
Ve hře je možnost hraní na 4 planetách. U druhé již píši recenzi a mohu říci s klidným srdcem, že tuto hru nedoporučuji. Začátek hry nám ukáže úvod, proč děláme, co děláme. Začátek je až dětsky nakreslená grafika, zbytek hry je však temný v ošklivé paletě barev. Minimapa je matoucí a nikdy není poznat, kudy se dá jít a kde je prostor. AI nepřátel je absurdní. Vrhnou se na vás nehledě, kde se nacházíte. A spawny? Člověka přestane bavit hrát hru, když vám za zády se objeví nepřítel a ihned útočí. I přesto, že jste lokaci zcela vyčistili. Za tu cenu to nestojí. Nedoporučuji!
End game was a little hard. 8/10. Would rage again.
In this video I take a look at Something Ate My Alien, a self proclaimed 2D puzzle and dig'em up adventure game. Something Ate My Alien is like a cross between Boulderdash, Terraria, and space invaders. Your mining vessel full of gem finding aliens has been hijacked and unless you use your aliens to find the items your captor wants you wont be sent on your way. One alien at time you get to explore and dig below the surface of the planets making sure not to run out of oxygen or get killed by one of the aggressive natives. You need to be careful not to get yourself stuck aswell. There are also upgrades in armour, weapons, mining equipment, and more. It's a well made and fun game providing an enjoyable casual experience.
