Bad Ufo by dsoft20

[raw]
made by dsoft20 for LD25 (JAM)
This is a simple arcade high-score game, you as a bad ufo, and you have to destroy the crop-field, kidnap cows, and destroy enemy vehicles.

The score determines the bonus, or malus, every 1000 points a new enemy vehicles pop-out, at around 5000 points a new cow is created.

Kidnapping cows get you some cow juice, with cow juice you can erase a bigger crop-field area, and with 50% cow juice you can destroy enemy vehicles, both of these action consumes cow juice.

Try to get the highscore while avoiding enemy missiles, if you get hit three times you are out :(

Windows/Web/Linux/Osx
Arrow Keys -> move the UFO
Z-> Destroy crop, kidnap cows and destroy enemy vehicles

Android
Touch left part of the screen:
Move the ufo

Touch right part of the screen:
Toggle Destroy Crop/Kidnap cow/Destroy enemy vehicles

Linux & OSX version are not tested, I've built it with unity, so they should work, but I cannot guarantee that works as expected.

Cool! Love the art and the sound of the cows. Game gets a bit easy, and I ran out of cows so I couldn't destroy the enemy vehicles. Would be cool if I could turn their missiles against them.

The fantastic sound of the cow when it is lifted from the ground, I laughed like a fool! Good idea to create Crop Circle :-)

Funny and enjoyable, with good music! But sound of the cow is out of sync! Why can't I enjoy this sound like others?? XD

I gave the Android version a try on Galaxy S3, worked great (although the UI is pretty tiny, I had the same problem with my game on that phone) The crop circle drawing is great, I wish the android controls were a bit tighter so that I could actually draw stuff! Music was great too :)

Quite an interesting game. I liked the concept a lot and it was pretty good fun to play. Unfortunately I used up all my cow juice early on and got shot down.

I love the graphics and I kinda like that the explosion almost becomes a balloon and flies away.

That was fun! Music was pretty good. My only complaint is that the cows don't see to respawn :( Good game, and good job :)

Great humor with the cow juice; I always wondered why aliens wanted cows so much.

I also like that the best strategy seems to be making crop circles :P.

It seems a little hard to keep your cow juice levels up if you actually bother to kill vehicles... I guess there's a bit of a balancing strategy there. Overall you just gradually accumulate a massive flock of missiles chasing you, so I'm not sure how much killing vehicles actually matters...

Indicators for whether or not you have enough cow juice to do stuff would be good, but this is pretty fun! Nice work :).

I tried the Android version on my Galaxy S3. I worked quite well, although I could not figure out how to destroy any vehicles. Good work!
Update: I've just tried the Web version in Google Chrome. Chrome blocks it by default. If you change the 'https' to 'http' then Chrome does not block it. The web version is even better than the Android version. :-)

The music is excellent. I hope to play it again when it's polished!

Very fun. But hard to make beautiful crop circles with such inertia.

5270! It would have been a lot better if there was a way to replenish cows. Maybe a cloning machine or just via reproduction, but I had fun regardless.

Cool game! I played the android version and the ui is very small. Controls would be better with onscreen buttons. Really like it:)

Looks nice. Nice application of a witty idea. I always knew cows had more uses than we knew!
