that's pretty fun. but i have some bugs... or i dont know.
Sometimes cows appear near my ship and i get milk from them. but they appear when i didnt use tractor beam on cow. and it looks little freezing.

While the controls take a little while to get used to, I very much like how the game tests your ability to multitask. One thing I would like to see is some kind of scoring system for how many cows collected, enemy killed, or time survived. Good job.

Seemed pretty fun, as a mac trackpad user I can't do right and left click at the same time but using the tractor beam was fun and I'm sure the gun helped

The second UFO-abducting-cows game I've played this jam. It's pretty funny. It's a little buggy, could use a bit more polish on enemy AI.

Very humorous and innovative idea. Sometimes, there are no cows on the screen. Abducting cows (and the occasional farmer) is pretty fun!

Very funny. Never thought I'd pay so much attention to a "Milkmeter" ever in my life. Job well done.

My only issue is that at some point cows stopped showing up and I could no longer sustain my milk-o-meter despite evading the angry people and flying boxes! I enjoyed this game, thanks. Good luck!

Lots of action. Sadly with the time I have for each game, I couldn't figure out the controls. they just worked odd and I couldn't do anything useful in it. The action went forward anyway, with regular "you lost" messages :)

Fun game, and I loved the humor. The introduction to this was especially good. The game play I think could have used some more polish... for instance, having shoot by left & right mouse, and dropping the cow just left mouse, I found myself consistently dropping a cow on accident. I think in general you probably shouldn't double-bind a key as this sort of thing can happen. I also noticed that even if I got a cow in the tractor beam, if I didn't position the cow right underneath the UFO, the cow still exploded... it should probably be set up that if you get the cow up there, you get it, and not have to worry about potential wonky movements killing you because it didn't register the cow.

It's a really fun game. But there was like two times that I lost because there was no cows for a while, so I literally run out of power xD

And also there was a moment when a cow appears to be behind the scenario (maybe behind a bush?) and I can't get to it. Still I managed to win :) and I enjoyed it and I like a lot the idea.

Nice work!

I peed my pants already at the intro. xD My girlfriend thought she had to control the farmers, then we realized... We are the UFO. The controls are not so good for one player. But together it is a lot of fun!
Thank you for this hilarious game ^_^
