Cool concept, I like the tilting of the ship when moving.
There is no real incentive to ever turning your tractor beam off, so maybe add some sort of charge bar that needs to be recharged giving you a reason to pace it.
Or even better imo have obstacles that damage your ship if you suck up like rocks, or bombs.

Quite the cool game, There is still some potential for the background and the floor considering the art. ITs a cool concept though. I wish i had some more space to move around or some other way to eliminate the shooting people. It is very hard to eliminate them without getting hit.

EnerdiceReally addicting! I love the feeling of grabbing the humans. Simple, but very fun! There is a subtle glitch with the sides of the background though.

River of GemstonesReally cool game, fun and original concept, but invisible walls are a bit annoying, they don't allow player to plan a movement, also there could be some background music, becouse sounds are getting repetitive.

Bread DefenderI like it. But at the very beginning of the game it was a bit boring. Can make the appearance of the police from the beginning of the game?

Caveberry HarvestDidn't expect this to be so fun.. It does get very hard very quick though. Maybe I am just a bit bad though
Please check out and rate my game as well :)

{ C R A Z Y }Ok, not bad! The gameplay was pretty original, the gradual difficulty increase seemed fair. Nice, but I have some pointers.
At some point the game becomes pretty 'bullet hell-y'. This is ok, but makes one problem with your design apparent. There is no indication when ufo reaches maximum or minimum altitude. This means that a bunch of times I got in a situation when I tried to escape upwards only to be stopped by an invisible wall (and eat a bunch of bullets as a result).
Presentation could use some work. The graphics are ok, but the droning sound of the ufo was a bit annoying. Maybe some music would alleviate this?
Keep up the good work!
Great idea and gameplay! Addictive to compete with my friends on highest score) i wish there were some random boosters(like shield, or longer ray) from random units

Stamp CollectorGood on theme. I think the shooting enemies could be introduced a bit sooner since that is the real gameplay. If they are spawned after a specific number of humans collected then it should be sooner for sure, otherwise the optimal play is to take your time with the first X humans and collect them as high as possible.
Managed 3rd place but this was not updated directly on the leaderboards. After loading again, the score was there.
Great job !
