Operate a devious little flying saucer and abduct goats. Get a goat to the top of the screen underneath your ship to score points. Controls are a bit tricky - just remember that the ship will always try to fly to where you last clicked/touched.
Based on LibGDX with Box2D physics and more than a few simple PID controllers - the ship only has one "thrust" vector, and it tries to keep balance like a drunken helicopter pilot. Funny enough, I spent much time tuning the saucer controllers so it wouldn't spiral out of control the instant it bumped into anything.
Tested on an Acer A100 (Tegra 2), should work on similar Android devices. The JAR should work on all desktop platforms so long as the machine has OpenGL 2.0 and a decent VM.
I am continuing development of this game, any updates will be posted here or on my homepage at www.korphane.com.
