UFO-Man: A Physics-Based Puzzle Game Set to Launch on Steam and iOS
Indie developer Dyglone has unveiled their upcoming physics-based puzzle game, UFO-Man, slated for release on Steam and iOS in mid-2024. The game's deceptively simple premise – transporting a box using your UFO's tractor beam – masks a brutally challenging gameplay experience.
Players must navigate intricate levels filled with treacherous terrain, precarious platforms, and speeding vehicles. The absence of checkpoints adds to the difficulty; dropping the cargo means restarting the level from the point of failure. This unforgiving design draws inspiration from the Japanese bar game "Iraira-bou."
To soften the blow of repeated failures, UFO-Man incorporates a "Crash Count" feature, tracking the number of collisions with obstacles or the cargo itself. Minimizing crashes becomes a secondary objective, encouraging strategic gameplay and high-score chasing.
The game features low-poly visuals and a calming soundtrack, offering a counterpoint to the intense challenge. For those seeking a similar level of frustration (in a good way!), Dyglone suggests checking out their list of the hardest mobile games.
