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.

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).

I guess there is something wrong with my web browser (Firefox 40.0.2 on Win 8.1) with the webGL version :

So I tried the Windows version, but I don't know how to start the game. I'm stuck on the first title screen. I have been pressing all keys, trying to click on lots of stuff, or waiting in case it was loading something in the background. I can't wait to play this game. Please help ^_^

@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

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

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. :(

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 !

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

(Windows version) I think there's a bug where movement speed is based on your FPS? One push of the button send my ship flying to one side of the screen and sets off the alert for too much noise. Makes it unplayable, at least for me (OC 2600k/OC 780Ti = >1000fps).

Tried the WebGL version, just got this:

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 !
