Clever! We really like these kinds of automaton control type games. We didn’t get very deep into it, but it was very well-polished! Really nice graphics, and the puzzles were put together well.
Great job!
Really Impressive and polished game.
An interesting idea. Funny mechanics.
The only way to make the entry level a little easier was to do it. It is too complex and there is no way to go back one step.
Wow / Nice combination puzzle genre with :Leaps and Bounds: theme.
Thank you for playing ^_^
This was a great game. Great level design ( Carry On Walking = COW. Loved it). Great Music. And the game had a world map which was very amazing. Did not really feel like the game matched the jam theme leaps and bounds, though. This may just be because I didn't get far enough in the game to where the cows were leaping I guess?
Haha. Unfortunately no leaping cows in this game. The LEAPS were the paddocks and the cows are bound together inside them. I prbablyh could have made the theme a bit stronger. Thanks for playing!
I love to see people try making proper puzzle games. I've tried it a few times before but I've always found it difficult to make fair puzzles under a time constraint. A couple quick comments (from having played world 1 only):
Hopefully this doesn't seem to critical. This is actually one of my favourite entries, and I'll definitely come back to try some more puzzles later.
It's definitely an unfinished game. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback!
Really cool game and funny interpretation of the theme. As the others have already mentioned, the puzzles are a bit difficult at the beginning. But I really enjoyed it!
thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is my favorite game of the jam so far. The puzzles are so good and I love the dialogue although it does feel a bit long winded sometimes. I completed the first 7 levels only to be shocked that there were more worlds with more gameplay types, I'll definitely be coming back to this once I have more free time.
Cheers! The game is still very much incomplete, and some of the levels were designed for later worlds, meaning the difficulty spikes early. I was hoping to play your game, but unfortunately I only have a mac.
I see, do you plan to continue development later? And sorry for only being available for one OS😣
Yes, I was hoping to work on this game again in January once the judging is over, so maybe finished by February.
Amazing! My favourite game so far in this jam! Huge satisfaction from completing levels that seem impossible at first glance.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
YES!
YAY!
I made it to world one. Really fun challenging puzzle!
I was worried that it was going to be too hard, but I'm glad some people made it to the later levels.
Now that was a really challenging game. I'm not sure if You've played "Baba is You" but this game has some similar vibes which I love! Especially the 6th level where you basically have a for loop running with the cows and you have to set up the correct sequence. Really clever stuff!
Yeah, The game is actually turing complete, which means you can make your own fully functional computer using only cows! Thanks for playing :)
Well, that was an experience. I just wasted one hour playing a game about cows, err, I mean COWs, and I've barely managed to finish first 6 levels! Alright, jokes aside, this is a really great game!
I liked nearly every aspect of it! It is a very innovative puzzle game, with a complex yet understandable gameplay, that is well explained in simple but funny dialogues. The only issue I had with that game, is that the levels are a bit too hard, but that might be just me, perhaps I'm too stupid to play a game about cows. But then again, completing such hard levels, was very satisfying, so I guess it's okay.
This game, also has nice pixelart graphics, which remind me of old puzzle games from the 90's and 80's. They're simple yet readable and pleasant.
The only thing that sorta bothers me, is that there is only one music track. Now, it's not bad, but when you're playing a rather difficult puzzle game about cows for a long time, it really gets annoying.
Overall, this is really, one of the best entry on this jam, you did a great job making it!
Yeah, the levels are too hard, I just never got around to making the levels that were supposed to be in between!
Uau! This is a hard game for me :)
Thanks for the U button very very much!
Overall, excellent game! I can only imagine how long did these puzzles took to make.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree that the puzzles are too difficult. I just never got around to making levels that were intermediate difficulty.
Really enjoyable! I would just add a level restart button (unless there is one and I missed it), and make it more obvious when you fail a level. Currently it just seems like everything freezes and I need to exit/re-enter/watch the instructions again.
You can press the R button inside a level to restart it. I was planning on making a graphical button, but I never got around to it. The silent level fail is because the game is incomplete. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I completed fist level only. Thank you.
I really liked the humor in this game and the puzzles were very interesting to try to get through. My one major complaint though is that I think the difficulty curve is way too steep. It goes from really easy to super difficult in the span of one level
The general consensus is that the game ramps up in difficulty too much. I had planned for a number of intermediate levels, but I didn't have time to make any of them!
Incredible game. Loved everything - the music, the logical gameplay, the humour, the innovation and take on the theme. It was challenging but overall very polished. Really nice job.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think the general consensus was that it was too difficult too quick. Unfortunately I had planned to make some intermediate levels, I just never got around to it.
That was extremely well done and a fun puzzle game, good job!
Thanks for playing!
Cool mechanics! Simple control, complex level! You even made the tutorial in the game! And the dialogue is so funny haha!
