Finally Uploaded. Give it a try :)
Nice little game, It feels clean, quite complete and fun.
I had kind of an hard time understanding how to drop the abducted though, maybe because the "hole" is a little bit ahead from the place it seems that you can drop them, it feels like you can only crush them on the ground.
But anyway it's a good work !
Fun game and nice job, hope you guys had fun making it.
You could also add some penalties for unnecessary deaths.
Would like to play post-jam version.
It would definitely benefit from some sort of timer to force the player to move faster, as well as a more constant threat to make it a bit more hectic.
I liked the round world, and good feeling moving around. Maybe a bit easy to avoid getting hit by cars after trying for a short while.
Really, though, very fun and original idea, with neat controls.
I left you a rating. Good luck!
EDIT: I did it! I figured out how to release them! I didn't get that many points though... :D
I like the concept and the graphics, as well as the tractor beam sound. :wink:
I liked the sound effects! For some reason the music randomly cut off and stopped playing, which left it a bit empty. Also I think the game is a bit exploitable in the sense that you can just keep abducting infinitely, and then place them all into the silo at once and get heaps and heaps of points, and the tanks only appear afterwards.
Anyway, a lot of fun (until it froze), and a unique, well-executed idea. Good job! :)
Please do check out my game as well if you have time! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/no-minor-task-party-of-a-lifetime
I had some trouble at first understanding how to drop the abducted people in the silo, maybe a different input could have been useful.
The beam physic was really great, and just moving around cars, people and cows was really fun
I had the same issue than above, with a crash after dropping 70 guys, the army seemed to be really pissed off with me ;)

Anyway, good entry ! I had fun playing it :)
The web version lag for me, but the executable is better ^^
Good job anyway !
I had trouble figuring out what to do... every time I tried to drop anything into the silo, it died, so I never got my score above zero.
i love the game mchanic and art.. the controls are very good too
Congrats :D
Please, vote in my Compo game :)

The graphics are really pretty and the music/sound is quite good as well, though the initial tune stopped playing after some time in the game. Game got really slow sometimes over Area 51 but I attribute this to poor graphics card in my laptop.
Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:
Had too much fun dropping cars from a great height..and cows :D
Nice little mechanic that's a lot of fun to play. Loved the visual style, and little bits of polish that added to the feel (like zooming in when moving down).
Fantastic! Good job.
