Cowduction

Cowduction is a 2D pixel-art arcade stealth game where you control a UFO over a farm at night.

Abduct cows, avoid dogs and farmers, survive until sunrise, convert your haul into Research, upgrade the UFO, and return stronger the next night.

Your goal is simple:

Abduct every cow.

Controls:

Mouse — Move UFO
Left Mouse Button — Hold tractor beam
Mouse Wheel — Zoom in / out
Left Click — Click buttons and menus

How to play:

Move the UFO over the farm and use the tractor beam to abduct cows. Anything inside the beam circle can be lifted. Multiple cows and objects can be lifted together, but heavier loads rise more slowly.

Dogs bark when the beam is active nearby. Farmers wake up if the farm gets too alerted. If the farmer comes outside and starts shooting, dodge the shots or try to abduct him while he is exposed.

Survive until sunrise to keep your haul. Your collected cows and items are converted into Research inside the mothership. Spend Research on upgrades, then return to the farm stronger.

If your UFO is destroyed, you repeat the same night without keeping that night’s progress.

This is a playable test build, so feedback is welcome.
