• This was surprisingly fun. Initially I was just going to play for a little while and stop, but once I managed to lasso one cow, I just had to get the others, and I spent the next few minutes chasing them to the (literal) ends of the earth. This reminds me of one of those carnival mini-games where you can win small prizes for surprisingly tricky games. I think that's why it was appealing. I can see how wrangling and making connections are related, so it stuck with the theme. The game is pretty smooth. Because of the cow's chase mechanics, I was able to herd them away from the end of the world as I approached it (or thought I was). Obviously, there isn't any animation, so I can speak much for the visuals, but clearly it wasn't your focus, so it doesn't matter. You still managed to make a game in the end. What could have really brought it together, though would be some fun, silly music. The only gameplay concern is that the rope physics was a little hard to figure out. Because of the large player character blocking the cow in front of you, it was hard to gauge distance. But some of those tricky elements is what makes the game feel like a carnival game. Some versions I could imagine is holding down to see how hard you throw, with a ground target to help aim, or at least a clear aiming dot in front of you to see where exactly the lasso was coming from. In the browser version, my mouse cursor tended to drift as I turned so it wasn't centred after moving for a while. I'm surprised at how determined I was to finish the game. It just goes to show you that even the simplest of concepts can be appealing. Keep making minigames like this and you might have yourself a whole larger game to play around with!
