The (musical) beat is fun for a bit, but on such a short loop, gets a bit grating later. I like the concept of taxiing cows, and the puzzle mechanic is fun. I think if you expanded the concept or wrote more puzzles for it, it would make a great phone game. I would ask for a pause button, since the last level seemed more like a race condition than a puzzle.
Thanks for playing @testuser !
I fully agree about the music. I have not musical talent at all and as soon as I had something that resembled music I put it ^^U.
I really enjoyed developing it and I also thought about expanding it, including a "port" for mobiles because right now, it seems like a good mobile phone but it's not playable there :-P
And yes, a pause button would have been great ^^U
Thanks again!
Really fun and innovative game! I hate your music!
really cool gameplay. I wish there were more levels!
cool idea but it was too short. good job :v:
I just finished it, very clever idea! Nice works. ^_^
Such a good idea ! well done , wanted more, so it's a good sign :D
Cool concept! I love this kind of puzzles but I wanted more levels!
@nobleboy Thanks! I really laughed at the last part. So true! xD
@vila6 @amin-jk000 @yword @tori Thanks! Yes, I focused on polishing (or trying to) what I had and so I created few levels ^^U I really want to expand it in the future!
I really liked this, I wish it had been longer :)
Great entry, I very much like the concept. Too bad there's too few levels, I would certainly like to play a few more.
Really good idea, and I think you have the beginnings of a substantial and innovative puzzle game here. It's definitely a positive that I finished it wishing it was longer :). I think that the soundtrack could use some more polish, but that's always hard to do with compo time constraints. In summary, I really enjoyed this and think you've got a completely solid core game loop that's worth playing with and expanding further.
Too bad the game's so short, because I think the core gameplay idea is really solid!
Great idea! Now I know what happens with the cows kidnapped by the aliens xD
The idea is nice, but just when it really gets going there's no more levels :(
What's AST?
Nice game, very fun ! We need more levels, nice job :)
@simplepotential @ondy1985 @thesedatedprince @jka @neowedge @endurion @pandakipu Wow, thank you all! I am definitely expanding the game in the future ;-)
@neowedge Yes, I am in trouble now for exposing the secret D:
@endurion It is written "A51" from "Area 51". I realize that it is not that clear ^^U
Very creative game, good take on theme. Nice introduction to mechanics. Would love to see more levels.
Nice humor and one of the most original gameplay mechanics I saw this LD.
This was a cool game and real innovative take on the theme. I had never ever considered a gameplay mechanic like this before. What a good job here. I also LOL'ed at the premise. Keep up the good work on this stuff!
That was pretty good! I liked the concept of the ufos traveling by space-ial geometry.
REALLLLLYYY like the idea of the game. I wish you had more levels.

Just a bit of spam for thanking you all again for the positive feedback. I just wanted to let you know that I will be working on expanding the game ;-) I added a development log to the itch.io page of the game (https://moisesjbc.itch.io/ufo-taxi) and if you follow me there you should receive the following updates ;-)
Thanks!
Really clever idea. I enjoyed playing it but now I want more levels! :)
Nice little game, the concept is totally unique and enjoyable. I wasn't expecting it to be that short haha, but glad to hear you're planning to add more levels! I think the difficulty of the levels scales very nicely, teaching the player over time. The graphics are a little basic but they get the job done. Of course it could use some music too. Great work!
This was a really cool game. As others have mentioned, I wish there were more levels. The puzzle mechanic was well done and unique. The music was a little bit repetitive and the sound effects a little raw. Keep up the good work!
That's actually a solid puzzle mechanics and it has a lot of potential!
One bit of feedback, though: the killbox in later levels breaks the pacing a little bit. In all other levels you constantly keep track of where your ufo is and which verticies you can intertact with and how not to mess it up, but here you just flop into it and it's game over. I think if you would just lost all your cows, but continued moving, it would be a little better.
That's a clever idea, and cool mechanics with modifying the vertices of the path. It was short, but I think that was for the best because it would've gotten repetitive without some more features. I like games like these where the player needs to come up with their own solutions using their own creativity, and I think this game concept has a lot of potential. If you were to keep working on it, my suggestions would be to remove the action limit since it restricts creativity, and add a fast-forward button so the player doesn't have to sit around for too long while the UFO travels to the destination.
A clever idea, well executed. I would have liked more levels, but that's what you get with jam games... :)
@zimny11 Thanks! Working on it ;-)
@ruthiepee Thanks! Yeah, programmer's graphics and audio ^^U xD
@bentglasstube Thanks! Yeah, I was never good with music / audio and I did the minimal for not leaving it muted :-P
@oneiromancer Thanks! Mmm someone pointed almost the same about that "Think fast!" level. I will rethink that one, altough I think it is unfair that only the cows get killed! xD
@ale Thanks! Interesting, my brother (the first tester ever) commented that about the restriction too! Maybe I can add both modes (classical / creative). The fast-foward button is a good idea too ;-)
@frank-gevaerts Thanks! Yeah, I had to decide whether I polished what I had or I added more levels ^^U
It fit the theme really well, the spaceship is literally stuck in a loop! It took me a second to understand how the game worked but once I got it stuff became pretty fun and interesting, there is a lot of potential here, you could create some very complex levels! Overall great submission!
This is a clever and unique take on the theme and was fun to play, but I would love to see more levels. I hope you continue to work on this as the concept has a lot of potential to made into a well developed and challenging puzzle game. Given the limitations fo a jam game however, really good job!
Very cool! I liked the concept, very simple, and very fun! I think it could use a little more polish in places--on that last level, it was a little rough, I think a couple more seconds or the ability to pause or delay the start would have helped. Very cool idea! :) And cows are always good.
Hey, I played your game on stream! It was a heap of fun, here’s the vod if you’d like to rewatch; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781363405
Thanks for submitting your game!
Very nice little game, I love the interactive tutorial, made it very easy to understand what to do, although because I knew immediately what to do, I finished the game a little bit too quick, a few more levels would have been nice.
Cool game! I really like the concept. It's unique. I got to the end of the game and I really felt like I go i was a master of edges and vertices.
