Indie developer Dyglone is set to release UFO-Man, a physics-based game where players must navigate challenging levels using a UFO's tractor beam to carry a box. The game, launching on Steam and iOS in mid-2024, may seem simple at first glance, but it's anything but easy.
Players will need to traverse tricky terrains, navigate impossible platforms, and dodge fast-moving cars to successfully transport their "luggage" to the finish line. The difficulty is ramped up to frustrating levels, with no checkpoints to ease the journey. If the box drops, players must start over from the beginning, adding to the game's challenging nature.
Inspired by the Japanese bar game "Iraira-bou," UFO-Man features low-poly visuals and a soothing soundtrack that aims to counterbalance the game's high difficulty. While the gameplay might push players to their limits, the aesthetic and auditory elements are designed to provide a calming experience.
After each attempt, players can check their progress in the Crash Count feature, which tracks the number of times the UFO collides with obstacles or the luggage itself. Striving for fewer crashes can lead to higher scores, adding a competitive edge to the game.
