I like the concept, and the art, and at some time I didn’t know that i can’t shoot the ray. I like that i can play on phone. If you want, can you rate my game.

Take that, aliens! That'll teach you to mess with cows! Loved this quirky interpretation of the concept. Well done.

The game is enjoyable, even though it is a bit simplistic, it adds a lot of charm to the game

My only suggestion is that you should've made the grass spawn randomly on the map, it would add a bit more to the gameplay

I like the idea of this game, abducting aliens as a cow fits the theme really well. 

If you can find the time, would you please check out our game as well?!

Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it.

Super cool! "Refill tractor beam by eating grass" is an incredible game mechanic haha

Nice pixel art style! I liked the idea to revesed the stereotiped ufo that takes the cow! Nice job! :)

Great Art, was a little lost on controls at first but once i figured it out was a lot of fun!

From the game page itself to the graphics/transitions, vibe is immaculate. Love the concept, love the story behind it. Gameplay was a bit one note, and I noticed a lot of the time the UFO would escape my tractor beam right at the bottom because of the angle it was pulled in. Great graphics though and would love to see this ironed out into an arcade game with a few more mechanics and difficulty built in!
