The basic gameloop is pretty fun! If there were more different kinds of weapons, and you could use them at the same time, it would be even better. Congrats on your first game!

Fun little game.

I dont know if it was just me, or if my gun actually stopped shooting sometimes, and I had to release and press left mouse again.

What an outstanding piece of work! Your ability to combine innovative gameplay with a gorgeous design is truly impressive. Well done! ;D

It's a fun game! Cute graphics and cool music :) I noticed that you keep all the coins after a restart and the colliders of the coins you previously did not collect are still around as well, meaning you can get rich really fast in the second round :D Great job for the fist game :O

At first I thought the cows were my friends, but then I realized that I was a rogue cow seeking destruction. Nice one for a first game!!

It's a cute game, congrats on completing your first game jam. Something you should pay attention to next time is having all your assets have the same pixel density. Like for example your Cow character was 16x16 (I think) but most of the other assets were 32x32. This means you have to scale some of them, which you wanna avoid when working with pixel art.

Thank you so much for the feedback, we will keep that in mind the next time!!

Great first game. I was very confused at first, but eventually found the cow zombies which I could shoot. One small thing is that you should make enemies very visually distinct from good guys or the main character. That would help with identifying them right away as zombies.

Also MY GAME HAS COWS TOO, you should play it :D
