When you drop cows, press quickly spacebar to catch them before they crash on the ground (feature might need some game level adjustments).

Playing the game is interesting, but the graphics are the best of all. I love the 50 style.

UFO kidnapping cows? Very original! Too bad it was so short, and the end was a little bit tacky. But I liked the newspaper like theme. Thx for the game!

Next time please let us lift some horses, as well! It was fun but a little bit short.

Ulydev25 Aug 2015, 01:26

Very well executed. My hat's off to you.

hey, good looking!
didnt really managed to roofie the cows. :D

Had some trouble getting cows into the ship. Love the art style!

Rocketship25 Aug 2015, 13:09

It looks gorgeous and plays pretty well too. The beaming is quite tricky, especially the part where you need to avoid killing them! Good work!

I really love the way the lighting works and the graphics, they're great. Gameplay seems a little confusing

Brilliant feel (graphics, mood etc.) and nice simple concept that was fun to play. I agree with some of the other comments that it was quite hard to successfully beam the cows up rather than just launching them into the night's sky.

Love the idea, first of all. I wasn't able to actually pick up any cows, for some reason, but I can picture that it would be a lot of fun. The graphics style in this game is amazing, and I love the setting (newspaper, etc.). Very well done (minus my personal unplayability).

@Strike Hello ! For the windows version, there might sometimes be some UI troubles encountered. Try clicking between the title and the ground to play the game

Strike26 Aug 2015, 08:22

I see ! So that's where the Start button i can see on the screenshot is supposed to be ;) Thanks for the tip.

DraKlaW26 Aug 2015, 08:39

The realization is really well done ! I like the theme, the realisation and the graphics ! They're awesome !

Strike26 Aug 2015, 08:59

Ok, so same goes with the game over screen, but with the screenshots i know where to click now ;)

The entire atmosphere of the game is just awesome.

On windows i am stuck on the title screen, WebGL gives an error popup in Chrome. :(

boardtobits26 Aug 2015, 19:58

WebGL wouldn't run on Chrome or Edge (Windows 10). Got a JavaScript error on Chrome. Downloaded the Windows build and got the title screen, but couldn't progress from there. Sorry! Looks really cool.

fafastudio26 Aug 2015, 19:58

For some reasons, the beam up didn't work, and i couldn't restart the game after that !
But the graphic style, the sound design, and the mechanics convinced me ! :)
Well done !

OxyOxspring26 Aug 2015, 19:58

Absolutely brilliant mood and feel! Hats off to you for that!

Mythalore26 Aug 2015, 20:01

Really nice look to the game, there are how ever at least one of these UFO cow stealing games per jam so no points for originality there. :) But a nicely presented game all the same.

Lane26 Aug 2015, 20:02

Good fun! I was just killing them at first, then realized how to put them back down =)

silentlamb26 Aug 2015, 20:02

Hi!

I tried to run it (Win7, Firefox 40.0.2) but exception happened:

It looks great, but the controls on the Linux version don't seem to work :( I press a direction key on start and my UFO goes crazy for a bit before settling down, after which the only control that does anything is space bar to make a beam.

veoviscool1226 Aug 2015, 20:10

Really well executed! Loved the whole vibe and style.

PixelStuffauthor26 Aug 2015, 20:11

Hello, thank you for your feedback, we are aware we encounter some issues with the Windows and WebGL build. Fix is coming :)

Dianouille26 Aug 2015, 20:18

LOVED IT. A bigger screen game maybe, or more different kind of kidnapping, I don't really have something to say, it was so cool. The graphics are the best I've seen so far in the competition.

lemer27 Aug 2015, 14:45

The game was funny and the art is awesome. Great game.

vitorlanna28 Aug 2015, 02:18

I get the cows up there, but I don't know what makes them count or not.
The style is pretty great, though!

Mike Mezhenin28 Aug 2015, 17:35

Hm, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but any action instantly raises the sound warning to 100%, so I'm catched shortly afterwards. Also even a short press on left/right moves the saucer half across the screen, so it's almost impossible to aim at the cows.

Anyway, the style of the game is great, but honestly I just don't seem to understand how to play it.

OnionBlaze29 Aug 2015, 05:54

Loving the style of this, kind of short though. Good pun also. More!

Taldius29 Aug 2015, 12:55

I love the art style, but the game itself was pretty hard.
Good job overall!

Awesome art and theme, great sound effects and a simple, fun game-play. Good job!

mitkus30 Aug 2015, 14:37

Very nice graphics. UFO controls are really sensitive though, almost impossible to be precisely where I want.

Schrodinger Games30 Aug 2015, 15:05

Great game, congrats! We also have some kind of cow-abduction theme :)

SKT30 Aug 2015, 19:56

The graphics are absolutely stunning ! The beam mechanics are a little bit tricky to master (especially the landings) and the game is a little bit short but overall it's very fun to play and it's a delicious eye candy :D

Great job !
