Fun game! I loved the cow's faces when you abducted them lol. And looks like we both had the idea of capturing cows in our space game haha!
Moo
Nice and simple arcade action, love it!
Nicely presented too, the white outlines would make everything very readable in a GameBoy screen. Good stuff!
I love the classic UFO set-up, and you delivered on it well. Very simple gameplay but it plays smooth and the cows' reactions are priceless. Nicely done!
Come on guys, you have so many cows! Just let me nab a few! I'm just a cow lover, it's fine!
... Ahem.
This was a fun li'l game! Trying to find unattended cows to steal while avoiding the angry farmers (or grabbing the cows near farmers out of spite) was a good time. After a little while I started toying around to see if I could tractor beam two cows at once, but instead found a bug - if you start to beam up a cow, let it go, and then beam it up again instantly, it glitches out! The cow will either run out of the tractor beam area and go back to normal, only to freak out when you let the button go, or it will float up to your UFO and just hang out there on the side of the ship.
So naturally, I spent a while just messing with the cows by doing that instead.
May also have tried beaming up some farmers, but it seems this alien has no interest in anything but cows. (Relatable, really.)
MOOOO!
Fun game! Not too cowmplicated, the aliens don't overstay their welcome.
Easily comprehensible graphics, pleasantly mysterious music.
Solid jam entry.
very fun concept
very fun!!! nom nom nom cows
🐮
Could of used a bit more variety, but I did enjoy using a tractor beam to kidnap cows.
The reaction of the cows was funny.
If you update it, maybe adding an effect would help. And maybe slowing down the UFO instead of a hard stop would be nice. Just so you can dodge if you're lucky.
Also I really liked the multiplier, actually nice point count doubling each time, encourages me to go faster and faster near the end.
Goodluck
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I became quite happy when I realized the multiplier kept doubling. Cute and fun! Great work!
Thank moo 🐮
I LOVE COWS <3
Me too 👽
Aww poor cows! I felt bad for doing that hahaha.
Relaxing game.
Reminded me of some good-old mini game cartridges with quick games. Very nice time killer
A very cute game! Scored 1356.
The music and cow-distress noises added a lot to the charm. The ability to pause is a nice touch. Pretty clean for a game jam game from what I saw, not much in the way of bugs, the only ones I found was in trying to tractor-beam moving cows, if they started in the area and shifted out, they'd be partially elevated, mooing, but not able to be collected. And, a noticeable stutter when going up/down to a particular location (directly down from spawn at about the three clouds)
Thanks for the feedback :D
Yeah, those are pretty much all the issues we had. I tried to fix the stutter when moving but I think it's a Unity issue. I'm picking up Godot for my next gamejam though!
Hahaha the cows face is hilarious, fun game!
Fun little game, but I can think of 2 big improvements:
* A shadow texture for the cows, because sometimes it was hard to tell how far in the air they are
* Some simple upgrades to keep the momentum of the game going
Thanks for the feedback, there were things we wanted to do but time was a constraint for us (shadows was actually one of them).
Hello there!
Really cool animations and SFX! Enemies behaviour is great as well. It was really fun to play. Well done guys!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😁
