Abduction is an arcade "upgrade-em-up" in which you control an alien UFO and abduct humans for research. Each round lasts 30 seconds, during which you must abduct as many humans as possible. In between rounds, you upgrade your ship and unlock powerful special weapons to challenge the increasingly harder waves of enemies. An average player should be able to unlock everything in 15-20 minutes.
The audio for the game not mine, and full credits for the sources of the audio tracks can be found under /res/sfx. Everything else was created and programmed by me.
Setup:
The game has been tested on Windows 7 and 8, but is currently untested on Mac and Linux. If it does/doesn't work on either of those systems please let me know. Abduction is a java game and will require a working JRE to run.
To setup, download the zip file from the given link. Extract the zip and run the .jar file. Alternately, if you are on Windows, you can also run the .exe file.
Controls:
WASD or Arrow Keys: Move UFO.
Spacebar - Hold to use tractor beam.
Mouse - Move to aim, left click to shoot plasma blasters.
E: If owned, deploy microsingularity superweapon.
R: If owned, deploy mind control superweapon.
T: If owned, deploy wormhole superweapon.
Update 1.1: 8:51 PST should now work on Linux.
Edit: Added "all platforms" and "source" links. I was deprived of sleep when I submitted and didn't notice I could change the downloads. Sorry for confusion.
