Did you work in a team?
One of my friends (@zapdonterra) did most of the voxel modelling (cow, sheep, pig, chicken, fence), I did the egg and ufo model. The tree models, grass textures, and fonts are from Kenney :)
I wrote all the game logic and the music.
The sand and grass textures were CC0.
I made the ufo sound effect, the rest were just sfxr, @zapdonterra, or CC0 sound effects from freesound.
Was the resolution a challenge?
3D games are hard to make at 64x64 because you can hardly see anything haha. Although I wanted to make an action game, it couldn't involve precise platforming as that would result in great suffering. I also made it so you can zoom which helps.
What did you learn?
I learned a ton. Also I need to go to sleep 😴😃

I got Time: 473, Abductions: 54 \o/
I love the noises the animals made, I wish I could have shot down the mothership, or maybe you can and I Just didn't throw enough eggs? ^^ really fun game, short and funny!
Nice 🐮
Yeah that'd be cool if you could shoot down the mother ship, but I'm not sure what would happen after
Thanks for the feedback!
Your game would be good, without a terrible bug that prevents me from winning the game - I pick up an animal and drop it to the right pen, then the animal disappears and the number of rescued animals in the inscription above the pen doesn't increase. For this reason, I can't give you a high rating.
Moreover, the game is terrible laggy and I can't see throught the tall grass well. And the splash screen isn't pixelate, although it isn't a problem to make a new splash screen in Godot.
Make sure you're dropping the animal right in the middle of the pen on the ground, if you don't get them in the pen they'll run off really fast. I knew it was a little finicky, thanks for the feedback.
Easy mechanich, the hardest part here is spatial perception… the busy bushes and the many moving elements at the resolution make it a bit harder to identify clearly what’s goinig on from time to time. Good sound and nice style globally. Good entry!
How do I rescue an animal?
Left click to pick it up, and drop it in the right pen
Where's the pen? How do I find it?
They're the fences with the text above it, like in this screenshot:
There's 3 of them, one for the cows, sheep, and pigs.
This was a very silly game. Loved the concept of it :P
The tall grass was a bit hard to see through at times and at one point I fell through the world, but otherwise it was a fun little game
Yeah that was a bug I never really noticed or had time to figured out before the jam deadline 😆. After the jam is over I can try and fix it. Thanks for the feedback :)
Graphics are very nice. It fits very well on 64x64. It was fun to jump and run around. Music adds extra fun too
Loved the concept behind the game and had quite a good but of dun playing it. It looks really nice and the sound effects were great too.
Id love it if you would play our game too as well as rate it :)
Hugely impressed by just how readable this is in 64x64! Looks fantastic, with really good voxel models, a fun environment to traverse and a great soundtrack. Rushing around hunting down UFOs in particular was a whole lot of fun
Theming really stands out here - loved the concept and all the details from the descrition, and the various animal noise sfx playing throughout the game added a lot of character.
All around a great cowsperience :)
I did the models :)
Thanks 😀
