Human Collector by tangiblegames

made by tangiblegames for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

Human Collector

Play as an indebted alien from Alpha Centauri trying to make a living by capturing humans to sell them to alien collectors... Hoping to make enough money before other collectors come after him.

Now, we made a game for PSP for a change.

Download an emulator here: https://www.ppsspp.org/ or install the same build on your PlayStation Portable console!

UPDATE: You can now play online on itch.io: https://tangible-games.itch.io/human-collector

One build fits all OSes :)

Controls

Arrows – left / right movement and selection

Z = X, S = Circle, A = Triangle.

A is VERY important, it activates your Tractor Beam.

Running on Mac, Win, Linux

I played this game on my PC via an emulator. The controls are fun, and the characters' voices are over-the-top. Playing it on a PSP would definitely be even more entertaining.

Actually was able to run it on my phone using PPSSPP! Very cool for making a game jam game for an emulator! And the game is quite fun as well

The excitement squared men cathing more than two people, But this is hard.

Very interesting game, it feels really good to catch these little people, and it's challenging when they move left and right

Fun little game, it's actually quite hard to catch more than one person at a time, I wish I could swoop hundreds of them at time would be very satisfying. Crazy that this is made for PSP, good job!

This was fun to play! I did eventually get to a point where I guess I just collected all the humans? Around level 14ish, there just weren't any left to grab. I got a good chunk of the way to the 100000 but all the way, so I guess I should have put more energy into figuring out how to sell optimally.

I had some problems using a controller in the game, so I had to use keyboard. I recommend a bit better mapping of the keys to be a bit more intuitive. Otherwise cool take on the theme.

Really interesting game and unique theme! But felt little challenging moving the UFO to keep the human moving up, maybe because I use the keyboard?

Interesting idea, to be sure.

Would be cool to see some human intervention forces trying to shut you down if you get to arrogant with the kidnapping (but also higher risk, higher rewards)

The interactive keybindings are a bit strange...? But I did attract humans at the very beginning!
