You are an alien who is traveling far from home, and you're starting to run low on fuel. Fortunately for you, the popular meta-web marketplace known as MONGR is always offering large quantities of fuel in exchange for illicit goods. These goods are galactic contraband and are crafted from the organs of human abductees. How many days can you last?

The game uses mouse pointer control and you can press F1 to go fullscreen.

Concept is easy enough and graphics are charming.

It's kinda hard to keep track of all the requests, would be neat to have something like a side bar to keep track of quest and a cheat sheet for the synth craft.

@snowtv yes, a recipe/bounty tracker is a big QOL improvement we talked about. thanks for the feedback!

I wanted to play this once I saw your post on the homepage and I'm happy to report it did not disappoint! I lasted 3 days and 7 hours.

I agree with some of the other comments that letting you select an item from the synth screen and having it appear on the side of the main screen would have gone a long way to making this easier to play. Some of the things seem extremely difficult for not a lot of return also.

I really enjoyed the graphics and the sound design. A little music would have made the experience even better, but it played extremely smoothly and felt nice. This world is inhabited by the chillest people. You can abduct a person right next to them and they don't even seem to care :)

The pacing works really well. It feels good - an adorable take on a dark idea.

Really fun to play, even if I only lasted 3 days and 8 hours.

I like the easy controls and the look.

I sure will play this more.

Absolutely fantastic entry. I adored the graphics presentation, the UI was stunning. The sense of humor and general vibe throughout was incredible, and it all came off so polished. Not to mention it was just a really original and pleasant and fun game. You all really killed it.

Fantastic job. It's almost a complete game with well thought out mechanics. Is there music in the game? There is in the trailer video, but there wasn't any in the game when I was playing.

Awesome idea and nice game! I like economics and craft in games. And to craft people is anyway more interesting than minerals :) I enjoyed gameplay, thanks for that!

I love the idea! Didn't understood at first that I had to be quick so I lose like a dummy, but once you get the thing it's actually fun!

GG to you o/

Not bad, just needs music. Wish it remembered which recipe you were viewing last time the Synth tab was opened.

Excellent submission! Honestly, its a simple nice fun game, feels very polished, there is only a couple of things missing, and thats music really. add some music and it is perfect id say!

Excellent game! If it had soundtrack it probably would be the best game I've played so far! :D

Fab little game. Really enjoyed this one. It was quite a dark sort of subject, abducting people and then harvesting stuff from them. But it somehow felt light and breezy! Clever stuff.

haha, I love it :D I love every overcooked-ish game though <3
this ones really cute and fun and the humans look really sweet lol. :)
Only thing that I might critizie is that a as a bit overwhelmed at first what to do and a little introduction would surely help; but then again this is a gamejam entry, ain't nobody got time for that :D
Oh I also liked that one human has several ingredients to offer bt you gotta choose and you dont know at first which human has what :)
Overall good job, I like it! The texts and names are also hilarious :D

Easily one of the best games this LD. Really polished and unique idea and nicely fits into theme.

Fun game with a lot of polish! I do feel like there's potential for expanding the game mechanics somewhat beyond just grabbing as many items as fast as possible - perhaps making the humans react to your presence (either on the small scale by running away from the cursor if they see someone abducted, or on the large scale by eventually deploying the military to try and drive you off), or additional objectives in order to unlock new recipes/contracts. Nice work!

This is really cool idea, although the game is quite difficult to play. Or is it just me? Anyway, I enjoyed stealing fellow humans and transforming them into cocktails for the sake of getting more fuel :)
