I like this XD it was really fun and kept me busy :D you make some really good games lol and it was intreasting finding out about this i would say more but dont want to spoil it X3
I can't get this to work at all. I can see the title screen, but I can't click on anything except the mute button - and when I do, I can't seem to umute it. I also don't seem to be able to "select" the window - after I click on it, the arrow keys still scroll the screen, as if the game window is just being ignored.

Huh, that sucks. There are lots of weird browser issues with Construct 2, I've found :/ That's a common sort of problem, where it can't transition between different layouts(which is why the mute button worked but the others didn't). It's interesting that the window wasn't in focus though.
No-one Has to Die was in Construct 2 as well though, right? That works fine for me. I'm using Chrome and I've tried on both Vista and Windows 7.

Edit: Nevermind, tried it in (*shudder*) Internet Explorer and it worked. Maybe it's an HTML5 thing? Interesting game, regardless. Is the ending supposed to imply that

the aliens' new homeworld was Earth, and they're prototypical humans? Or am I barking up the wrong tree and they're just somewhere else in the cosmos?
No clue why one would work and the other wouldn't :/ Glad you got there in the end though.

A lot of people got that out of the ending, and it's definitely one way to read it, but it's not what I was going for really. But take it however you want!
