LOL what a game!

Survived 50 seconds. I guess it'll be better if the UFO can keep tracing the mouse position and shoot immediately once I press the mouse button.

UFO san... Is that you who saved our world(by destroying it)? Thank you...

Fun, I liked the sound effects! Also very cool how the tilting is suddenly revealed to be the thing you're fighting against lol

Good idea of 3d balance game! At the beginning I think the water may imply lean degree but soon find this does not work like that. Then rotate the world and estimate the lean degree of this plane becomes of of the main challenge of this game. Nice job!

Very atmospheric. It is immediately clear that a cool team worked on the game.

Nice concept and very cool menu design :thumbsup:
Also love the towers falling over :D

The space ship is maybe a bit slow to fly across the map.

What a fun concept and well executed. I just wish everthing would fall off in the end instead of disappearing. :D

Okay so first of all, super classy game, the art, sound design, and gameplay is all quite polished. Second, I really enjoy being told to either murder the civilians or watch them die from over population. That's just a good time. The game also clearly has a lot of depth to it, there's a surprising amount going on. It's kinda a macabre take on a zen garden sort of game. Overall it's very innovative and very fun, I like it a lot. Quality game.

Wow.... impressive and a fun entry :smile: Kind of reminded me of a very old game... Nuclear war.. I guess it might be because of the houses.

:thumbsup_tone1: Good job

Impressive! Super fun game and the graphics are pleasant to look at, The only annoying thing for me is the delay to shoot when you get to the location but maybe this is part of the challenge...? 🤔

I love the sound and visuals! The game feels complete, and the humor and irony is great.

I could get past the 1 minute mark, but I think the situation is unsalvageable when the inclination gets past a certain mark, even if I snipe down all the buildings on that end.

For a game with such a short game session it would be nice to have a replay button instead of having to load the menu every time to restart.

Great game, I specifically want to highlight how polished, great-looking and great-sounding game this is.

It's also pretty fun. One thing I couldn't stand, though, were the controls. It just felt too slow to shoot. Basically I agree with what @lighty-the-light said - let the UFO follow the mouse and shoot immediately when the mouse is pressed. You can still have a cooldown in place so it's not too easy and the player needs to think twice before shooting.

Also, I think this game needs a leaderboard.

Overall, really nice!

Very nice game, I like your take on the theme. Ha ha ha, I couldn't keep the world balanced for more than a minute
Good job on your entry

If flat earth was real, cats would have knocked everything off the edge by now... darn cats rofl XD

Great concept, it was done really well. And I LOVED the fly by of the clouds at the beginning, nicely done!

The game is self-explaning! I like the idea, straight-forward and exaggerated!
