Indie developer Dyglone is set to launch UFO-Man, a physics-based game, on Steam and iOS in mid-2024. In UFO-Man, players must navigate challenging levels using a UFO's tractor beam to carry a box, or "luggage," to the finish line. Despite the seemingly simple objective, the game's difficulty is elevated by treacherous terrain, impossible platforms, and fast-moving cars that players must dodge to succeed.
The game's design draws inspiration from the Japanese bar game "Iraira-bou" and ramps up the challenge by not including any checkpoints. If the box is dropped, players must start the level over from the beginning, adding to the game's frustration. However, the soothing low-poly visuals and meditative soundtrack aim to provide some relief from the intense gameplay.
To add a layer of engagement, UFO-Man features a "Crash Count" system, where players can track the number of times their UFO collides with obstacles or the luggage itself. The goal is to complete levels with the fewest crashes possible to achieve a high score.
While waiting for the game's release, players eager for a similar challenge can explore our curated list of the hardest mobile games, perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and perhaps even rage-quitting.
