I absolutely love what this game considers 'saved'. Nothing more satisfying than watching 20 very confused cows fly off through the sky because I've just rocket-blasted and done a 360 in mid-air to make them soar. Brilliant. Love it.

Love the game! would love some more levels where you have to fly over mountains or what ever and maybe a farmer that shoots after you or somthing! but a week is not enough, I hope you will continue develop it :) 

If you dont mind, would you take a look at my game Arcade Boy? I could really use some feedback :)

I like the idea of your game, it has fun gameplay! Controls were a little difficult but overall, nicely done!


I'd appreciate it if you could try my game :)

It was very fun to play!! find a little hard to control the UFO, but I'm not sure if that was the intention or not.

Maybe I am just not good with control (probably it is that)

it's just so much fun flying around with the spaceship
well done

I'm not sure if there was an end goal or not, but I "saved" over 500 cows and had so much fun flinging them around with the spaceship. :D

Love the art and the scenery in the background.

Super tight controls on the spaceship made zooming around the map really fun! Forgot about the cows for the first few minutes because I just had fun flying around. Really pretty game. 

I would suggest adding a restart function within the game or a way to right yourself. I ended up trying some Blue Angels maneuvers a few times and landed on my back like a turtle. Couldn't get back up. Great work!

The art is so well done, congratulations! Game is really fun, laughed at myself a few times while trying to control the OVNI, great work!

The game is great! I love the graphics of the game and low poly feel. It looks professional. The gameplay is awesome as the physics is also snappy and clean, while still making the game extremely funny (aka cows flinging in the air). There are a couple of problems; If you have a Virtual Reality headset, namely applications that support VR (SteamVR and Oculus) they will load up upon entering the game and make it unplayable on screen. The gameplay for the game while it is quite fun, gets very boring after a few minutes. There is no 'active objective' you're trying to work towards, it's just fun seeing the wacky physics. Other than that, I had quite the blast playing the game!

Hey man, thanks for playing my game, I will definitely keep your advice in mind for my next game jam. I agree with you 100% in regards to the objective. I definitely should have made that a main focus. I'm really happy you liked the physics and the art. This was my first time programming an entire game since, I mainly am a 3D artist so it really makes me happy that you liked the art and the physics (because they were my favorite parts to work on).  Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!!!
