Fun game! I spent a lot of time pushing cows into a cow tower.
@remco-games that must have been fun! it's so cool when people find unexpected gameplay possibilities :)
Love the artwork! It's really fun to play.
Liked the idea, it didn't seem to have an end game to it though. All the ball fell off the table rather quickly but I couldn't get down because of the invisible walls. I did manage to jump over it after climbing on cows. I liked the aestetic behind that game, great job :)
@slojanko & @mrsylar59 Thank's :)
My idea was that the game is played without any objective really, just fool around. But there actually is an end when you pop all the balls. As I didn't really want it to happen by sheer chance, it's really challenging to achieve (or at least it's meant to be ;)
Otherwise good job on landing on the floor! The invisible walls are there so you don't leave the table by accident but they are deliberately not too high so you can still do it if you want to.
that was... interesting. I like the overall feel of the game, kind of trippy (don't know if that was intended) Wasn't really sure if popping the balls had any effect, so I just fooled around a bit which was quite fun. Fun (and kinda confusing) game!
Great style and design. The cows are great with their wagging tails. The physics were fun. Was fun getting underneath a pile of cows and jumping and watching them go flying. Very simple but lots of polish and charm made me spend more time messing around than necessary. I like to believe that cows come from yellow spheres now.
@awesomealliterationalliance and @poffy Thank you I'm glad you had fun just fooling around :smiley: that's well, that's what I intended for!
cows come from yellow balls (known fact). popping them will eventually stop the invasion from spreading, but that is only if you really want it to happen. But it probably would be a pity. It's more fun when you choose to leave this world knowing that the cows continue their happy infinite multiplying :sweat_smile:
The idea was also that it's kind of dreamy (it's inspired by a dream) and yes trippy is a good word. although to be honest I didn't think of it myself but now that the word was pronounced, I'm fully adopting it
Really funny game! :smiley: It was really interesting seeing all those balls evolving... into cows! :smile:
I spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out how to jump from cow to cow to get back onto the table after falling off of it (finally got it to work after being boosted up a few times). For some reason that gave me a "Clustertrucks" vibe. This whole thing is bizarre and I love it, and I feel like the joy I got out of this stems from this absurdity rather than the objective of popping the balls (which I soon kinda ignored cause jumping on cows was more fun). This is a bit of a hidden gem!
Nice work! Definitely a very trippy game. Sadly I wasn't able to pop all the balls, so the cows quickly overran me.
Hahaha very nice idea! The art was great and the controls felt really good. Nice!
Interesting game, definitely fun to mess around with. The cows sorta got to me in the end :P But I like the overall floaty feel of it, things felt very uppy haha
Hey everyone, I'm glad you liked the game! (@stefan-jovanovic, @rodrigo-molina & @sarah)
wow @adrisj7 I didn't even think it was possible to get back on the table after falling from it. *chapeau bas!* :smile:
@abhimonk haha well being overrun by cows is probably what the game is all about so I hope it wasn't that bad :grin:
Finally got around to it! What an experience. Too bad I can't rate you for the music because I really liked it. :p It fit the feeling of the game really well and really added to the mood. Never did manage to pop all the 'taters since some landed on the floor and I never managed to get off it, but reading the comments I can see that it's actually possible! Despite not really feeling like I had an objective it was fun just messing around and trying this and that. I can always appreciate something experimental. Good stuff!
Uhhhh, what did I just play? Seriously though, great job! You tried for weirdness and you got it spot on! Of course, it's pointless and completely weird, but that's sorta the point, and I'm really glad to see someone innovating in such a strange way.

Very zen, weird game. With a little more structure and obstacles for the player it could make for a pretty great game.
Didn't see the end but that was really funny to play ^^ Great game well done ;)
@ava-skoog, @koala-squad, @mastersmith98 & @anlaxix Thank you very much for your comments, cool to hear that you liked my wierd game :smiley:
@ava-skoog yeah I know, that tune is just great! But I can't take any credit for it apart from finding it so well... it's better to opt out from audio :wink:
@mastersmith98 can you tell me what you mean by more structure and obstacles for the player? there is a possibility of "beating the game" (you need to pop all the yellow balls for that), which I added for those who'd you like this sort of thing and I deliberately made it quite hard to do. Do you mean something else?
Kind of like a "toy"-game! I like that. Nothing that you really play for a long time but can appreciate for the art, absurdity and/or strangeness. Not a bad entry if a bit small, would have loved a bit more types of 3d-objects, even simple ones, and maybe even a few more interaction types then just the ball popping.
What an incredible odd but satisfying game. After a couple of minutes it was just fun to look back at what I had created and mess I caused.
Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D
This was.... ah... what? :laughing: Great art style and mood! Super weird, but I suppose all dreams are :wink:
Cheers!
Interesting creation! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/RBBzpxy2bdA
