We took the mad scientist approach and created a weird 3D game loosely based on Brøderbund's 80es classic Choplifter. To play the game successfully the player must possess a combination of good navigation skills and planning ability.

The game is driven by Java Monkey Engine and features a good deal of procedurally generated content (such as the randomly terraformed terrain). You will never play the same game twice. ;-)

As a space wolf from outer space you must abduct all sheep on the volcanic island. By using your abductor beam you can lift sheep from the ground (or water) onto your ship. To complete the abduction, return the sheep to the vortex centrifuge.

Rules:

• You have 3 minutes and 20 seconds until the island is completely flooded.
• A sheep can survive no longer than 30 seconds in the hot water.
• Your ship can carry no more than 5 sheep at a time.

A word of advice: carefully plan the order you abduct your victims.

Good luck, captain!

Keys:

• Control ship: W - A - S - D
• Use abductor beam: Spacebar

Mouse:
