## What is Vacanauta?

Vacanauta is the story of a cow who, in her quest to rescue her friends, took control of the cosmos and now roams the galaxy abducting aliens.

You control the tractor beam with your finger like a cosmic vacuum cleaner:
> Abduct aliens with a green outline (the good guys).
> Match identical aliens to create mega combos.
> Avoid the red ones, because they stick to your ship and block your beam, stealing time from your mission.

Each planet has 3 levels with ridiculously specific missions:
"Make this many combos," "Abduct this species," "Don't panic," etc. 
It's all against the clock, because in space, nobody waits for you... except the angry aliens.

You start with 5 attempts (little glasses of milk, very nutritious), which you use up in each level, and you can get more by watching ads or waiting like a good Earthling.

Plus, you can unlock skins for your ship, which serve no purpose other than to make you look FABULOUS in space.

The best part?
Just when you think you've finished it… BAM!
Extra missions activate for each level.
Because the universe never ends… and neither does the chaos.

Get ready to laugh, abduct, combine, and lose gracefully. 
Vacanauta: a game so absurd, it works.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t offer much

*2025-12-02*

Besides the cute art and clean UI design and mechanics, the game offers bare bones with a slight twist lore wise to games already out there. The milk energy mechanic while cute in its design does more to keep players from playing than focusing on building a strong player base. The levels are repetitive and seem to go ok for a long time without any real change or variation of mechanics. I unfortunately got bored very quickly. 

I also don’t understand why a store has you earning in game currency with things not available to buy yet with a “coming soon”. App has potentially to evolve into something more yet currently doesn’t feel like it rewards the play for investing time into it or offers more than what other games out there do
