Play as a lone UFO zapping up plenty of helpless humans awoken late at night by your lasers setting their house ablaze! Avoid military aircraft, and collect as many humans as you can before they all escape to safety.

—Try to abduct as many humans as possible before they reach shelter.
—Blast the houses with your lasers to force the humans out.
—Once all of the humans have been abducted or escaped, the game is over.
—Tip: try to destroy one house at a time. This allows you to sweep up more humans.
—Tip: Fly low to avoid fighter jets.

Notes:

Well, I'm uploading, and I guess that's something. It's missing a lot of the features I planned in my scope due to a lack of time/energy (working third shift is hard!), so the only power up is for the beam. Gamepad controls aren't working during testing, you may have better luck. There is only one level as I didn't get the additional mechanics in place to warrant making a second level. Enjoy all two or so minutes that made it to here as much as you can!
