Saucer by CodeNMore

[raw]
made by CodeNMore for LD33 (COMPO)
--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!

Super fun concept!

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.

Nice particle effects, the game was a bit too hard though. Maybe more health or a lower bullet speed could fix that.

Enjoyed dropping the boulder on the annoying people that were firing at me.

Well put together and has a good balance of being challenging yet having that 'just one more try' feel to it. Has potential to be developed post LD to be a great game.

I'd like to start by saying that this entry is REALLY similar to mine, although I think you have me beat in terms of graphics and sound. I did really enjoy it, especially the last level.

Quite hard actually. day 2 was already very hard. I think you die a bit to quick.

Also, thanks for playing my game. I think my game fits the theme, because a yeti is a monster too!

I found this game really challenging!

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.

Easy controls and concept, yet very enjoyable.
Loved the last level =D
Also cheats are cool (I couldn't finish without the '/health')

This is a nice game! I love that you can pick up basically anything. it makes me chuckle in some weird way when the guys are shooting and I can just pick them up and go "nope!". Very nicely done.

I really enjoyed dropping the rocks on the cannon things. Nice attention to detail with the color changing UFO; things like that are always a nice touch.

Awesome game! It's ridiculously fun and well made!
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!

Very challenging. Not an original concept, but well executed. Only thing I was missing was that the rocks respawned maybe, because it was difficult to get rid of turrets if you screwed up a single rock.

Hahahaha, we thought about a game like this in our brainstorming, but we decided to do a stealth game.

So, this game has a plus for me, and the execution of the idea is brilliant, so take my like sir.

Well done! also: Cows!
Small thing: Why use enter for the next tutorial screen when everything else is done with space?
