cool!
Nice game, I liked the inventory system you had implemented and the humour was great too. TO improve, I'd recommend looking at a better implementation of a collision system (you seem to just be moving them the opposite direction to what they were moving)
Funny game!
Cool game, the music is a little annoying but it fits the game well and the humour is on point
Such a great game, cows make every game fun to play haha. the inventory system works great. I had some difficult to shoot arrows some time, but overall, the game is awesome!
@stamblew thanks for the feedback! I am aware of the arrow bug.. I am going to try to patch it this week!
Great game! Loved those talking cows ;).
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Glad you're enjoying it :)
Pretty funny game. Feels good to shoot bad guys. I wish you could throw farther away the bombs.
Really funny game.Talking cows? The graphics and audio are really polished, great work on that. The controls feel a bit clunky and for some reason the character wont shoot down only up for me. Bombs reeeeally feel suicidal to me hahah I was not able to use them properly. Good job with this game.
Nice jobs, seems very polished for a ludum dare game.
@el-pepi good advice! I tried to keep the weights of objects "realistic" (if that even makes sense in this type of game) but in the future I will probably steer towards whatever feels best. Thanks for playing :)
Great graphics, I liked the style a lot! Music got a bit repetitive though, but overall was enjoyable.
LOVED graphics and audio, gameplay was very funny and fun. Hard though. Definitely a huge fan of this one
I don't want to *Mooove* on to the next game, Lots of fun! Great Work!
I had fun with this one; shooting the bad guys was fun, but I didn't feel particularly attached to my cows. Other than collision detection being a little weird, and towards the end of day 12 my controls stopped working, the game worked perfectly--great job!
Hey! Check it out, I just uploaded a first impression of your game on my youtube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVTILpipNJU
Everyone has been noting the same thing I'd say is the game's strongest suit; the humor. It's very simple but amusing and provides some character to what would otherwise be a fairly straightforward escort/object defense game. There are some odd behaviors in the physics but the game serves its purpose overall. Also, for being new to pixel art you've done a pretty good job!!
Thanks for playing the game @indie-gaming ! That was great to watch!
Pretty good game
OMG, this is really funny! And the cows look so cute :) <3
Wow, there's a lot going on here. I love how the cows talking was actually contextual, actually made me laugh out loud.
The combat is surprisingly good, I think I blew up a few cows and it made me sad when they got hurt and complained about it :( Lucky cows can't talk IRL eh?
thanks @leticinios ! Would love to see it in one of your videos some day :) and @exezin , I think we would all be better off with talking cow friends like these.. Thanks for playing!
Nice one! I found the controls a bit hard, but maybe it is because im a left handed guy :)
THIS COW IS MY BEST FRIEND AND I WILL LOVE HIM FOREVER! Nice work man. C:
Pretty complete game. Loved the humor with the cows. The graphics are really cool too. The dialog was also quite funny. Congrats on the compo!
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I have just released a quick patch, as I noticed that a couple people shared @muromets feedback! The controls have been updated to bind THROW to space instead of right click to avoid confusion. Further, some items default to throw when use. This makes throwing rocks way easier and more fun. Enjoy!
I had to double check this was a Compo game instead of a Jam game. Great game!!!
A really fun game, cute with cool art style, could play for hours, awesome block breaking mechanic.
I love the music. Such a good song for a game. I also like games that let you pick up random things and interact.
rad game
Pretty cute game! Nice art style, fitting music and an overall smooth experience.
macOS version doesn't work. I can't click any of the buttons :\
Works on the web though and is very cool! I like the idea and the game itself is challenging in a good way. Btw I got my hands on a rock and couldn't throw it (bug?) I tried pressing space to do it.
hey there @dom ! Sorry you were having issues! I have disabled the macos build for now until i can get home and resolve it. As for the throwing issue, i will look into it when I get home as I have not seen that before!
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
hey @papacheech: it seems that this is a Unity issue. I just experienced it in another game. Leaving the full screen fixed it for that game.
thanks for the info @dom. maybe the simple fix is don't default to full screen on mac.
This was a fun and exciting game, I really enjoyed it! Congrats!
Even though i'm very bad it, THis game is fantastic. I love the art, the simple but great music and sounds. The game play is a mix of fun and stress as you rush to protect your cows. Lovely little game 5 stars.
Check Out my Game if you like! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/virus-detected
the only thing I blame cows are not purple :P Awesome game, fun and cute <3!
The humour in this was quality! Loved the sound, struggled with the arrow bug somebody mentioned above, but all the cow banter made up for it! Well done!
I liked it! I ended up shooting my cows a lot to see the funny things they said, and since there didn't seem to be anything bad that happened when I did. I didn't see any preview images before playing, so when I figured out I could blow up walls with bombs I felt clever :P Control-wise, I would like it if mouse scroll item selection didn't "select" equipment slots with nothing in them yet. Fun! Good job :D
This was a fun game, it took me a minute to realize I could pick my arrows back up though! :D Cow is like my best friend now.
Amazing game. It all starts with the very fitting costumization of the itch.io site, has a beautiful soundtrack, lovely animated sprites, and i adore the cow ^^ If somebody would show this to me i wouldnt believe him that this was made in 48 hours. You seem very experienced, keep up the great work, you have a realistic chance of winning.
What a cute game! I love the talking cows! Controls are a bit clunky and collision detection can be improved (I phased through the dirt walls a couple times). Music is great though, and the art is charming. Well done! :)
wow! Thank you for the feedback @simonbeats , means alot! Making this my full time job is definitely a dream of mine. @sholf hmm I think that the WebGL version of the game could use some performance improvements.. ill do some more research on that tonight! Thanks for playing!
A very solid submission! Feeling like a "real" game, not a jam development. Pretty graphics (including animation), nice sound, quite fun to play. Humorous, too: the cow talk is great!
I had some trouble with aiming (maybe the collisions aren't fully tuned, maybe I am just a bad player). At one time, the timer stopped to count days and no more enemies spawned. Other than that, I found no bugs. Great job, I am impressed! :-)
Great job for a compo, impressive đ
Nicely done
this was a very good game that has some minor collision glitches in it - only problem is that it needs more cows
Interesting concept and with mechanics that reinforce the experience, congratulations for the game, simple and efficient.
Conceito interessante e com mecĂąnicas que reforçam a experiĂȘncia, parabĂ©ns pelo jogo, simples e eficiente. :flag_br:
Thanks for the feedback folks!
I have released a patch addressing the collision glitches some of you have seen ( Thanks for pointing them out @lmb @paulhocker and others) and other minor tweaks and improvements. Enjoy!
That was fun and it looked lovely. nice job
Really cute little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if youâd like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxcULPo0hyk
I can hardly believe how polished this feels! I just wish I got a bit more feedback when I take damage, or a dodge roll. The difficulty ramped up suddenly.
Wow, this's quite addictive. Also it's nice to see item interactions like a bomb blowing up a ejecting another bomb way further blowing up after a short while.
I couldn't throw the arrows by themselves and sometimes the bow wouldn't fire. Also autoselect of the bow after throwing a bomb would be great.
Really glad I got around to play this game despite being quite busy. It was so well done and very fun to play. The gameplay was really intuitive and controls worked quite well but not sure if the pickup item control was necessary, as you could have just made it so you pickup items when you walk on them.
The bombs were also really fun and sometimes you could get combos throwing bombs on enemies who would blow up holding some projectile that would blow up other enemies :)
The music was also really catchy and made for a really good mood in this game. Awesome job!
Wow, I love cows, and they also say many funny things! Also I love sandbox arena with a lot of items in your game. But, I think, there should be some auto switch, when you drop rock or a bomb, to next similar item or a bow.
Very complex for a compo. Impressive indeed. The atmosphere is good too.
