That was fun. Love the abduction sound effects, and the music is perfect. Cool game.

Nice game! I loved the red lights when you were too close to "bumping" the walls/ground.

Thanks! I was trying to make it so you can’t use the tractor beam just anywhere (light right on top of a human), so if you’re too high (yellow) or too low (red) you can’t use it.

Interesting concept and pretty good implementation, but there's still some work to be done.

I really enjoyed this game! Really simple yet fun, one feedback I would give would more visual effects, and more levels XD

Nice job making this game!

Cool idea,  I agree with another commenter that the diegetic lights to indicate the status of the ship is a really nice touch. I also like how the humans are physics objects behind the scenes (and can hit things and rotate), it makes them feel more impactful than a simple Node2D and sprite. Nice job!

Ha, I just learned about the concept of “diegetic” in a book I’m readying - “The Game Music Handbook”

I never got around to making the humans walk or the tanks move. I think that would’ve made things a bit more interesting. And yes, more levels with challenging layouts/situations.

Thanks for giving it a go!

I 100% agree with  Under Three I wish there were more levels

I liked the game, but I was upset that there were only two levels (really upset, no jokes)

It would also be cool if the guns dealt more damage, otherwise I didn't feel the challenge at all

There definitely should be more levels with guns in places that challenge you to navigate. Maybe even a timer so you are compelled to act quick.

Thanks for giving it a try!

I really enjoyed this one. Good use of lighting effects rather than UI to describe what was going on with the ship. I liked the transporter beam effect and the slow ascent of the humans fit the theme well.

Thank you so much for giving it a try! I didn’t make time to set up a UI so I decided to just put them on the ship :-D
