Love the aesthetic and music :)

Very well put together game. Clean flying mechanics. Lots of fun. Love the music too.

Fun game! Great job!

Great Job!

Fun and quirky feel to the game. This made me smile. Well done!

Woo that was fun! great job! would love to play this with some more types of enemies and a faster spawn rate. great controls and smooth gameplay

@DarkStar - if you can keep alive for long enough, things start to spawn crazy fast ;)

Awesome controls. Good job!

Pretty cool. Nice graphics and audio matches well. Outside of a jam, this could really be expanded into a bigger game (ie variety of enemies etc). Great job.

Thanks people :) Interested in seeing what scores people are getting, post em' if you got em'.

My highest so far is 12,250 >.< so many rockets!

Nice game with good execution.

I kind of reached the situation when not enoungh enemies were on the screen. So the game became boring at that point and I had to quit.

@dvdking - I didn't want it to start out too hard :( Like I said to DarkStar, if you stay alive long enough it gets crazy. Having said this, I will have to fix spawn rates early on :)

good job

Very well done, and very fun too. Good job

Good job.

Wow ! Love the gameplay and the concept !! Good SFX and graphics.

Fun game! My best was 6200, I improved massively after I realised I didn't have to trek down to the bottom of the screen to grab people! I wanted to use the cows as missile shields ;)

@steve hehehe use them skill tester techniques! ;) Such a good idea about the cow shields btw. Your entry was super moody btw, enjoyed the true love ending <3

Simple and fun

Very nice soundtrack.

I liked the graphics and the UI. The game also handled very well. (Though mouse support would've been good ;))

Easily the best out of all 'UFO abduct' games I've played today. great job!

@ Jeasonfire - Yeah, while I was working on it my girlfriend came in the room and mentioned I should try making it control with the mouse, but at the time I was too tired and was just like 'MEH'.. but I really like the idea of an Alien pointer hehehe :) Might have a go after the jam. Thanks people! <3

Nice Music!

Love the look and feel of this game, the claw grabbing and dropping is very satisfying.

Cute and well done
made me giggle :)

Love the cows!!! Love the concept, very well thought out game. Music was great as well. Well done in the time allowed .

First thing I wanted to do was be able to pick up a soldier and position them in the air to get hit by their own missile! Fun game though :)

Very smooth to play, addictive and professional looking. Good job across the board.

@Random Seed Games - that is a great idea! Might try implementing that and using cows as meat shields in a future version! :) Thanks for the feedback

Amazing development value, if it wasn't a space game the theme rating would be much higher from my point of view.

Graphics, audio, controls, gameplay, everything is extremely solid, your game is so cool ! ^^

Hahah really funny :P !

Very nice game. I like it overall as it is simple and engaging. Though I would make it harder faster. Up to 4000 points (from my second game) is was quite boring, only then there was some action and challenge.

Nice, had fun playing this one. music on the menu screen got a bit grating. Liked the art and gameplay.

Very nice game, love the retro vibes.
I think it lack of an 'ending sutation' like a huge wave of soldier or or something that can one shot you

By the way, how did you do the music, I love It !

Awesome graphics and audio. However the gameplay is a bit simplistic and lacks any form of difficulty past dodging, though it fits to the theme pretty well. It's a fun game but I did see just a few bugs that occurred when picking up cows (their position was displaced by a good bit, making it impossible to bring it up to the UFO).

The only big complaint I have is that I'm a bit disappointed that I can't pick up the missiles and send them flying back to the enemy troops.

Very well put together

Thanks to everyone for playing the game. I'm happy for the positive remarks and for the critical feedback!

@Fanatrick - Thanks dude, I think it could become something a lot more in the future. I guess you don't like space!?

@bumbu - I agree, I rushed the spawning logic and the tempo (difficulty curve) doesn't feel right yet... I'll work on this in the future! Time constraints are serious and I think I spent too long on the audio >.<

@Sanka.X - I honestly hadn't thought of that! Was going for something more infinite play / score challenge.. but boss spawns or massive waves could be really cool. I made the music using an LSDJ cartridge with my old Gameboy ((http://www.littlesounddj.com/lsd/) It was relaxing to take a break from coding by holding a DMG in my hands :)

@Infininete - Had a few other mechanics happening to increase the difficulty, but scrapped them for simplicity's sake in the end. Thanks for the bug spotting, I noticed that issue a few times during development, it seems hard to reproduce. I thought I fixed it but will look into it! By the way, grabbing missiles is an amazing idea dude... I was thinking of ways of giving the player a way of fighting back and that just might work perfectly! Thanks a lot for the idea.

Nice and funny game.
It s a bit easy once you get the hang of it. You can just keep grabbing things e bringing them up (or letting them go if they are soldiers) before they can even realize they're alive

Love the game, so much fun =)

Lots of fun!

Thanks guys <3

Fun game, and very nicely polished. Good job.

I think the difficulty curve should ramp up quicker. For a good portion of the game there was only one or two cows/soldiers because of the rate I could dispose of them.
Good job with the music and art. Dropping the soldiers felt satisfying.

nice, those cows can take a fall!

Solid entry, nice graphics, nice concept!

It took a while before things started getting real crazy but other than that, it was really fun! The controls were solid and the music was totally kicking. Loved it, great stuff!

High quality, I think everyone's said what I wanted to say :) good work

Fun arcade feel, didn't quite get why the cow tether would switch lengths as I flew around.

Love the music. The cows & militay could spawn just a bit faster, ended up with nothing in the screen ;)
Great job !

Very simple and original game =)

Great game overall. Nice flying. GREAT MUSIC by the way. Was very fun

Very fun with good graphics!

Very fun game. Nice graphics and concept. Good job!

Clean flying mechanics and fun aesthetic. Controls are great. I want more. Thank you for this entry ++

I liked it! There's been a few alien abduction games on here, but this was my favorite. I felt like the claw wasn't as efficient as just swooping down and grabbing things, but that may just have been my play style.

Lol it's so addictive! Good mechanics, it was fun!

Gameplay is really smooth and fun. The combination of everything just makes it really addictive and gives it a great feel. Good job!

it's become too easy if i kill every soldier first. But great mechanic though!

10/10 would abduct aliens again!

Really, really cool!

Awesome! Really polished and solid. Super addicting.

Great job. The game is polished so well. Hooker thing nice. A cliche about the alien, cow and soldier. Nice game.

Very good game! :D

Music is BEYOND amazing, sounds like Chipzel kinda quality there! The fact you made this with LSDJ in 48 hours is just even more amazing! Well done!

Well-made game, decent fun, a bit slow to start, but the music is great!

Simple but incredibly funny game! I really enjoyed it! Well.. There is nothing much to say. I love every aspect of this game. Good job!

Fun, great gameplay, the particle effects on the missiles are going the wrong direction though. could use some mooing or shouting background sounds

Awesome job!

The graphics were very simple but worked well and the music was extremly fitting for this fast paced game. I love the concept of stealing cows and I found the idea of a twist on the grabber machine but with aliens very amusing. It was fun, simple and well presented. Great entry!

Nice! Game handled well, simple graphics yet everything seemed to fit together. Quite a challenge and fun to play. Good one!

Great graphics and fun gameplay!

Score 2775. Mising some goals and it will be fantastic challengeable game. Nice graphics, mood and sound.

Well polished game, had a lot of fun. Would like to see more enemies and boss battle of some kind like others mentioned.

Wasn't quite sure how to stop the missiles, but apart from that it was fun! Liked the graphics and simple mechanics!

Thanks everyone for your awesome feedback and constructive criticism. I have tried to implement nearly every single recommended change into the post-jam version, I couldn't have done it without all of you!

<3
Until next time!
