UFO-Man: Carry Luggage with Tractor Beams in iOS Game

Indie developer Dyglone is set to launch UFO-Man, a challenging physics-based game, on Steam and iOS in mid-2024. The premise of UFO-Man is straightforward yet deceptively difficult: players must use their UFO's tractor beam to carry a box, or "luggage," across various obstacles to reach the finish line.

Navigating the game's tricky terrain, impossible platforms, and fast-moving cars significantly increases the difficulty, making UFO-Man a frustratingly tough experience. The game draws inspiration from the Japanese bar game "Iraira-bou," and to heighten the challenge, it features no checkpoints. If you drop the luggage, you'll have to start over from where it fell.

Despite the high difficulty, UFO-Man offers some soothing elements with its low-poly visuals and a meditative soundtrack, which aim to ease the frustration of repeated attempts. After each failure, players can track their progress with the "Crash Count" feature, which records the number of times the UFO crashes into obstacles or drops the luggage. The goal is to complete levels with as few crashes as possible to achieve a high score.
