Tested it on an Android Tablet. Plays nice, would be really cool if it would use gyro for movement :)

That really should have occurred to me! Tilt control will go into the next version, then.
Tested on a Asus Transformer TF101 (Tegra2). Also plays nice. I agree gyro would be the perfect addition I think :) Also the gameplay could be improved by more variance. Nevertheless a nice use of physics! Well done.
The physics felt really nice in this game
I like the sound effects, especially the giggle when you abduct a goat. Fits the secondary theme better than the first. I'm sad that I couldn't test it on an android, the mouse controls on a desktop don't seem to work nearly as well.
My score was 9 goats!
Getting that giggle is so fun.
Fun toy! I had a really hard time stopping my saucer once I got it going, but otherwise it works as advertise. Abduct goats!
The controls and the physics are nice, but not much gameplay yet. Randomly abducting goats did turn out to be fun though.
I agree with a previous comment -- not much gameplay.
However, there's a germ of something good in here. With a little bit of adjustment (maybe some damping) that saucer could be just tricky enough to pilot.
Throw in some sort of threat to dodge, and a risk-reward mechanism to convince the player to fly around while trailing a lot of goats (and only then off the screen). Definitely worthwhile.
Played on PC. Something about the controls makes me grin. It always feels like the saucer is about to crash, and that's just perfect.
:D I love the animation for the flying saucer. The control scheme is very interesting. And I like how the goats will fall off if you go to fast.
Hilarious! I went flying along hitting goats. So awesome. Kind of reminds me of a old game called Mars Taxi. Great job!
Haha, I actually kind of like the drunken ship effect. It seems oddly appropriate for an alien ship that spends its time abducting goats in the middle of nowhere ... :)
I use same library, and this is very good :)
Lovely game. Funny sound effects. :)
Played on Windows, and it's pretty hard to control? And how do we score points? The goats just stay floating around and my score does not go up.
Take the goat to the top of the screen and the flying saucer will "abduct" it.
Nice graphics, unfortunately very over done gameplay.
Maybe consider adding some visual effects when a goat is under the influence of your tract. beam ?
Other than that, I love the drunken UFO and the general game is nice!
Haha, the little laughing sound is great.
Great graphics, good sound. I just wish there was more physical interaction, so I could get a better feel for how the controls work. Enemies to avoid, other things to abduct, anything--the game did feel somewhat bare as it is. Funny when the goats go flying across the screen, though, haha.
Interesting. I got a score of 31! I'd love to see more when you develop it :D and nice goat sounds.
Poor goats floating around in space
it would be nice to have some kind of visual representation of the force your ship is exerting on the goats. also, it would be cool if they exploded if they hit the ground with a lot of force
Hahaha loved the sound fx. Fun game, good job!
Amazing game but in my opinion it need more goats xD
loked the idea but the controlls wrern't much fun
Plays great on a Transformer Prime :) I really dig the physics you have going on here.
I preferred this on my PC than on my Android phone - on my Galaxy S3 controlling the UFO seemed much more difficult. Fun game, and great sound effects and humor!
