UFO-Man: Use drag beams to traverse extremely difficult levels, coming to iOS soon

UFO-Man, an upcoming Steam and iOS game, challenges players with physics-based puzzles.

Indie dev Dyglone has announced the upcoming launch of UFO-Man on Steam and on iOS, the studio's physics-based title where the goal is deceptively simple - all you really have to do is carry a box using your UFO's tractor beam to win.
The catch is that carrying this box or "luggage" isn't as easy as you might think, given you'll have to traverse tricky terrain, navigate impossible platforms, and dodge fast-moving cars just to make it through unscathed. This ramps up the difficulty level to frustrating heights, but hopefully, the meditative soundtrack and low-poly visuals will help ease the pain.
It takes inspiration from the Japanese bar game "Iraira-bou", and to challenge and torture you even more, UFO-Man doesn't have any checkpoints - dropping the luggage means starting all over again wherever the box falls.

Thankfully, you can soothe your wounds a little bit after each failure with the Crash Count content - here, you can accumulate the number of times your UFO collides with obstacles in the way or with the luggage itself. Try to complete the levels with as few collisions as possible to nab that high score.
