Moos from the Depth of Space by notnasiul

WE WERE ONCE A MIGHTY RACE WHO CROSSED THE GALAXIES
In our voyages we found a beautiful planet and many of us fell in love with its pastures. The grass was indeed greener there! Some kept exploring, but most stayed behind.
However, those who stayed were soon enslaved, milked and... devoured by humans.
Now it's time to save them, time to bring them back. Time to return to the DEPTHS of space!
HOW TO PLAY
- Fly your UFO with cursors/arrow keys
- Activate your tractor beam with Z
- Drop cows on your mothership's tractor beam to save them!

I actually liked the fact you can pick up hunters and throw them on others to stun them. Was funny to see. The controls were feeling nice since it was really challenging to picj up and stay in the air, just like somehow flappy duck.
A cool little game that you finished to the end, congrats! :)
How can i eat burgers now?! Well, i will eat it anyway, i guess.
Cute little cows! And game ^_^

Graphically pleasing and the simple tune sets the mood well.
Good work.
The cows are hilarious and adorable. I may have crashed my UFO into a cow more than a few times.
I wish there was slightly more music/audio but the sounds you do have are perfect.
Even the fire/burning animation on the gameover screen shows a full attention to detail.
IMO it's one of the top entries for LD57.
Very solid game and idea here. The art looked adorable as well
That said, I think the ship's vertical movement needed some tuning. It seems to fall a little too quickly imo
At first I felt the number of farmers spawning and shooting at a time was a little too much, but I do love that you can pick them up. It makes things a lot more manageable and fun
That said, I feel like the game got pretty monotonous after a while. It really needed atleast one more enemy type, or atleast one other type of obstacle.
All things considered though, this was a pretty damn good and funny entry
Flying being on up is breaks my brain for some reason, it's 100% a me problem but I strongly feel that I would prefer thrust being on a button (especially considering that the second pico 8 button is unused).
Tried it on a keyboard, have beaten it on a physical device with d-pad and it still control felt weird for me.

My best is 7 cows save bc to much angry farmer !
