Nice game idea, game objective is simple and gameplay variation is built in nicely so it's easily re-playable. I find that trying to herd the cattle can feel clunky since they push away from the wall, and that usually works against my favor since I push to the left wall and they go to the right. Also the geometry between the player and the cattle is inopportune since you're guaranteed to only push the cattle for a second before they slip off of you. I'd like to see an an easier way to push the cattle, either with a bigger player hitbox or having the cows slowly avoid the player as we get closer. A time bonus for each cattle you herd could be nice as well to incentivize the player a little more. Lastly, I got all the cows to the left and didn't get a victory screen, so I'm confused as to what the victory conditions are. Overall, great concept, useful albeit simple use of the game jam theme, and pretty fun once you get used to the controls. Thanks for sharing!

thanks for the detailed feedback the movement for the cows was actually quite more complex than it would seem to be and took many days to get to where it is now. I would have liked it to be better but time wasn't there. Also the victory should show when you get them all in order that may be a small bug it's a hard game to beat so it was somewhat difficult to test some of the later game bugs. I'm glad you enjoyed it this one a fun experience for my first game jam.
