Unknown Feline Object


Note on versions

HTML5: For the web version, the game was exported using another renderer due to performance issues. Since no adjustments were made to the game, some lighting and particle effects are missing and there are still problems with the sound. Please consider downloading one of the other builds for a better experience.

Windows 64 Bit: Tested on Windows 11 (21H2). No problems.

Linux X11: Tested on Ubuntu 22.04. No major problems. Not tested as much as Windows 64 Bit.

Any feedback on performance, bugs etc. is very appreciated! :)


Goal

Free all the animals and avoid (or kill?) the people who try to stop you.

Rules

Animals can be brought on board your spaceship with the tractor beam. Cows give more points than sheep, but they also take longer to pick up and therefore consume more energy.

You can also use your energy to attack the people who throw pitchforks at you.

Replenish your energy by collecting milk from different sources.

The game ends when you have freed all the animals or your health drops to zero.

About

Inspired by the STOP WAITING FOR GODOT jam, I wanted to learn the basics of Godot. The resulting prototype is a small game, where a flat cylinder tries to save rectangular cuboids from cubes with the help of its tractor beam.

Since learning never ends, I continue to work on the project occasionally. Here you can see the latest version of the game. You can still find the original prototype in the download section - as well as other releases.

I hope you have fun with the game and I am very grateful for any kind of feedback!
