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!

I found it quite difficult to find the best technique/approach to the puzzles so I didn't get very far. Overall I liked this game. The overall presentation is quite good, from the music to the writing.
I think it would be a good idea to have some levels early in the game that are short but are used to convey techniques to the player which they can use to approach the longer and harder levels.
Well done.
I think the general consensus is that it got too hard too quickly. That being said it is an incomplete game, so some of the intermediate levels are simply missing.
I love the mechanics of the game. The idea is really cool!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It's really fun but hard IMO.
I really like your acronyms and humour!
Thanks for playing! I was hoping to make it a bit easier later on, but I'll leave it as it is for now while the game jam is running.
Your game is really fun! I can play it all day! I like how there is so many gameplay mechanics! Good job!
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Wow... Just wow...
This is probably the best one I have seen so far...
All five star from me. I don't see any flaw at all. Very innovative mechanics and excellent exploration of the mechanics. Simple but cute and pleasing graphics. The audio is not the best but I will give it five star anyway since it fits really well with the game. And it fits directly into the theme.
Very nice work. Love it.
P.S.: Finally finished stage 2. Very difficult but I did it yay ^o^
P.S. 2: Love World 1. Programming turned into a cow game. Brilliant.
Thanks a lot! I was worried that people weren't going to make it to world 1. I was hoping to add some more intermediate levels later to help ease people into the swing of things.
sweet, I struggled on world 0-2, but this is a really cool idea. Made me think a lot
I didn't end up making enough intermediate levels. The impression I get is that most people are struggling with the difficulty level.
It would be better if instructions were shown as you play, so you could immediately check them in practice.

it is similar to agame with name : iq marathon , but good game
Very fun challenging game. The difficulty ramped up rather quickly
Thanks for the feedback! It is an incomplete game. Some of the intermediate levels were simply never made. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
