nice! great graphics and cool gameplay backed with cool jazz. smashing buildings is cool too.

The idea is pretty original, i like the story, but the execution is a bit off. It`s too hard to dodge the missiles, and it looks like people are floating because there is no floor xD but it is a very interesing idea and entertained me =]

Globaly liked this game
I played with having fun, thats the idea, its good :)
Ashale its a bit hard i find to pickup the people and it took me a couple of tries to understand i whas saving the people and killing them :D

Nice one. The people have real personality walking around down there, I wonder how they'll like my death beam!

jomomomo 2012-12-19 14:05

Hehe a smashing game :-)

I loved the concept. It did seem like it's a little too difficult, since the tractor beam will target buildings instead too easily due to the navigation tilt, but I still had fun. Great job!

jiyko 2012-12-19 14:14

Very enjoyable. Would be easier to control if you could use the mouse to control the beam.

You must add a health bar. I just start collecting civillians, when a missle comes - and BANG! Try again, sir. And if you accidentally crush yourself it's twice as sad. And it seems the hitbox it too big/misplaced.
Graphics and music are great thought.

I keep blowing myself up accidentally when I tractor buildings XD. Fun game!

ahmed-majd 2012-12-19 20:59

Nice, but a little difficult to control

I love the music, very cool. I found the game a bit tricky though and I think the space craft is a bit too vulnerable, That explosion graphic is great too.

Great explosions. Not sure how to play (all I get is explosions). It also seems that you are helping which is not being a villain. With that said exploding things is fun.

I am beginning to think the really fun bit to this game is the explosion. That is really neat.

Some people has said the control it hard, it took me some time to get used to it to. I think it is because of the slide / friction you put on the ship.

Why is there a death score? Is that the people going to the far right and far left that you didn't save?

BTW, I think you can cheat by hiding at the far left or far right, hiding very close to the people and a building, and just keep beaming them up. The missile will keep hitting the building.

haha loved the destruction + jazz mood

cwilloughby 2012-12-22 22:09

Super fun. I love when the ship blows up - it makes me smile. If I would have happened upon that, I may have shifted focus to be anchored on that.

the-jack 2012-12-23 03:09

I would have made the collision a lot more forgiving, it would have improved the fun factor a lot.

And how am I a villain if I'm helping the people escape?

blockbrains 2012-12-23 15:44

I like it!

jerrre 2012-12-24 13:00

I got stuck above the view somehow

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-25 15:02

Fun idea! Love the tractoring-mechanics and the music.

Dying and having to wait 5+ secs to respawn is highly irritating though. The highest number of seconds I am willing to wait is ZERO. Also, why do I have to mouse-click to start? nothing else uses the mouse.

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 04:41

HOLY SHIT, I wasn't expecting that explosion!

Loved the mechanics, this was a really fun game to play around with.

themelon 2013-01-05 10:18

Love the music and the idea. Tractor beam is very cool. I feel more could of been done to give the play some more depth. A targeting system or mouse control maybe. Great little game though, surprisingly hard.

wisegamer 2013-01-05 22:22

hahah nice music and graphics ... it took me a while to realize that the moving lines are the people XD
