On 25th October 2024, game developer Dyglone released the new Foddian 2D action game "UFO-Man", a simple yet challenging title inspired by "Getting Over It".
 

The game is available on Steam (Windows and macOS) and iOS/iPadOS, priced at $6.99.
 

For the first week after release, the Steam version will be available at a 15% discount launch sale, priced at $5.94.

Game Features

UFO-Man is a simple yet challenging Foddian 2D action game, combining elements of notoriously difficult Foddian titles like "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy" or "Only Up!" and Japanese "Iraira-bou (イライラ棒)" style games.
 

In UFO-Man, your goal is to lift a square "Luggage" with your UFO and carry it to the top. The UFO easily drops the Luggage if it hits walls, obstacles, or the Luggage itself. Once you drop it, you may lose hours of progress and start climbing again from where it fell.

 

The game challenges you to carefully navigate the Luggage while taking physics into account, requiring both patience and boldness to steadily progress toward the goal. Players will enjoy the unique satisfaction of overcoming obstacles typical of Foddian games, along with the competitive nature of the score attack mechanics, which encourage replayability.
 

This release features a massive course divided into various stages, each packed with unique challenges, including caves, sunsets, mysterious factories, cities, and outer space.

 

Even after completing the game, players can enjoy additional content, such as hidden elements and a "Practice Mode" tailored for speedrunners and achievement hunters. A notable feature of the game is the "Crash Count," which tracks how many times the UFO collides with obstacles or the Luggage, allowing players to challenge themselves to complete the course with as few crashes as possible.
 

The game supports video streaming and content creation on platforms like YouTube. For more details on streaming, please visit the following page:
