Saucer by CodeNMore
--THE GAME--
You are part of an alien fleet attempting to abduct all humans (and cows) from the Earth within 7 days! If you don't abduct enough humans (and cows) every night before daytime, your boss will get very angry! Explore 3 different biomes, and abduct all cows, humans, and soldiers, but be careful of the turrets! Saucer features a FULL 7 days of story gameplay, as well as a console full of cheat commands, so you can spawn and abduct 1,000 cows if you want!
--IMPORTANT--
Press 'M' to mute the music if it gets annoying!
Please play the game without using the console first to get the actual game feel :)
You can use the '/' key to pause/resume the game!
Backspace doesn't work in the browser, so press '/' to exit console and reset it!

The controls feel a little loose, but that's just me needing to get used to them. A joystick would be great :)
Timing the rocks was difficult, but dropping them on turrets is super satisfying.
Also, thanks for playing my game. I think my game fits the theme, because a yeti is a monster too!
There is loads of neat polish like the way the UFO changes colour when it is damaged.
I found myself nodding to the music after a while.
Loved the last level =D
Also cheats are cool (I couldn't finish without the '/health')
Also incredibly polished! To think it's a compo entry just blows my mind!
I suck at being an alien though, but the game is fantastic.
Good graphics, and good music. I really enjoyed it!
So, this game has a plus for me, and the execution of the idea is brilliant, so take my like sir.
Small thing: Why use enter for the next tutorial screen when everything else is done with space?
