For a 3D game in Unreal, the artstyle is very good for such a short time frame event. The cow sound was a 5/5 itself haha. I liked the mood, the cow attraction mechanics and the effects. The shooting was very satisfying. One issue was that I could not find the flying disk sometimes and I got lost. An indicator in the UI would help a lot, but I understand that was hard to do for this time frame. Very nice visuals, very smart idea. Good job to you guys!

those cows are adorable! I love it :D

Would be fun to play this on a couch with other people (team alien vs team ufo), but was kinda hilarious to watch cows getting abducted!

Nice idea! The first time I played windows firewall gave me a pop-up to allow the game, and when I returned to the game I didn't know where the UFO was. I spent 3 minutes trying to find it and when I did, it was bugged on one of the cows. So I restarted the game and followed the UFO around, had some fun saving the cows, even though it was generally easy (one time I had a bad angle between the trees and almost didn't save the cow!). Then I decided to shoot a cow early and the UFO got stuck again, so I guess there is a bug if we shoot the cows before they're getting sucked in. Nonetheless, I had some fun and the cows are cute. A scoring system would be great though

Nice job :)

There were aliens (well at least a UFO), and there were cows, so I really don't know what else I could have asked for!

I do think the game is pretty easy though, and it could use some other obstacles to make the experience more challenging :)

Concept was neat, Cow noises very very good.

I had some trouble navigating the environment, but spamming spacebar took care of that.

On a technical note: game ran at about 8 fps (no graphics card) even in 720p and was 2.55 Gigs which is insane for what it is, but I guess that's just Unreal engine.

It's kind of difficult to understand what the goal of the game is since the spaceship spawns very far away from the start zone

Developer

Yeah, the map was supposed to be a lot smaller. This one is just a placeholder. I mean, lots of things we wanted to implement are missing since we basically only had 24 hours since we had to restart development on Saturday. Lots of QOL changes/revamps are on their way once the game jam is over!
