Release date announcement!We are extremely excited to announce that our 2D puzzle and digging adventure game Something Ate My Alien is finally in a complete state and will be released 18th June 2020!
If you have not yet added SAMA to your wishlist, now is the time to do it so you get notified when it launches.

After 3,5 years development and basically working around the clock, we have almost achieved our goal of finishing SAMA. Another month of polishing and bug fixing before the big day, and we are more than ready to make this happen.
We promise a chill game with a slight strategy tone where you will explore big levels full of things to collect, puzzles to solve and a fair amount of shooting action occuring. All this while listening to a lovely mix of music tracks suited for this type of game. The most used words testers seem to use describing SAMA are chilled explorer game.

SAMA will be available on Windows, Linux and Mac and it also has controller support if you prefer to play with that rather than the keyboard. We also offer visual aid for the puzzle rooms for those who struggle seeing different colours which can be toggled on/off in the settings menu.
As a 2 person dev team we have learnt a lot during this time, and feedback from testers has been invaluable to us. Reflecting on the time that has gone by since the first story line of SAMA was written down, and seeing where we are now is quite a satisfying feeling. Not only have we proven that if you really love what youre doing and put your mind to it, you can make it happen, but we have also proven to ourselves that we make a good team which bodes well for future endeavours.

We hope you are as excited for SAMA as we are, and that you will enjoy playing it once it is out.
[ 2020-05-14 18:55:00 CET ] [ Original post ] 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
- The ransom list you need to complete is randomly generated and unique to each game.
- 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 your equipment by selling surplus loot for units.
- 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 sell for extra units. 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
Sell your surplus loot and use the units to buy blueprints for upgrading your equipment. What do you want to spend your hard earned cash on? 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...
