About the Game

Available Now! Released on 25th October 2024

　

It's a simple yet challenging foddian game.

  • Control the UFO.

  • Lift up the square “Luggage”.

  • Carry it to the top.

and...

  • DON'T DROP IT.

　

The UFO will EASILY drop the Luggage if it bumps into walls, obstacles, or the Luggage itself.

Once you drop, you might lose some progress and may have to start climbing again from where it fell.

You must avoid dropping the Luggage considering the laws of physics, and steadily work your way to the goal as much as possible.

UFO-Man features a massive course divided into various stages, each packed with unique challenges, including caves, sunsets, mysterious factories, cities, outer space, and so on.

This game combines elements of Japanese irritating bar games called “Iraira-bou (イライラ棒)” and well-known difficult foddian games like "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy”.

Due to its characteristics and difficulty, this game may require a tremendous amount of time and patience for some people.

However, with repeated play, you might improve your skill and achieve the satisfaction of overcoming difficult challenges.

Enjoy the game if you find interest or excitement in overcoming this challenge!

After clearing the game, the game provides content for players who have completed it, such as the Practice Mode or some hidden elements, which may satisfy dedicated speedrun players or achievement collectors.

Additionally, this game features "Crash Count" (the number of times the UFO collides with obstacles or the Luggage) which is recorded during gameplay. This allows players to enjoy it repeatedly as a score attack game, competing to clear with as few crashes as possible.

(I also have a lot of respect for “Only Up!”, “A Difficult Game About Climbing”, “The Game of Sisyphus" and so on.

Please note that this game may contain homages to these.)
