Fun concept!! Having the wheelbarrow feel like a vehicle was a really good touch.

The concept was clever, and the game was very good quality. Graphics, dynamics and playability worked really well. The swarming behaviour of those damn greenies was wearing me down, as it should I guess - I survived for 65 seconds and sacrificed 5 cows. Well done and amazing to create that in the time frame.

This is really fun to play. Those protestors look like zombies with their green skin.

sigton 2018-12-03 21:38

My type of game, I really enjoyed running away from the green people. Something that would've really helped is some more sound effects, like footsteps or something just to complete the experience a bit more :)

Smooth gameplay and simple concept that fits the theme

Haha love it! Great idea and great gameplay experience. Maybe add some power ups or something to make it even more fun.

Hey, the game is simple but neat. What else can I expect? Well done man, I wish my game was like yours.

jharler 2018-12-04 20:31

I like the graphics, but do wish there were more. The landscape was wide open, which was good, but there was little variety in it. The concept is great and I love the idea of scooping up cows with a wheelbarrow. Overall, nice work!

Was laughing when I sacrificed the first cow and the activists were charging towards me. Also enjoyed the fact that the cow got really tiny after loading it into my wheelbarrow. I was not able to finish the game I could not find an empty altar but I still had to run around and dodge the activists. Is there a way to wind the game?

esosek 2018-12-04 21:06

Hey guys, thanks for your kind words.

@norb Yeah, you can win the game if you fill 4 altars with 2 cows. You just need to find it, it's not so hard :)

@sigton I actually had footsteps of player in it but it just did not feel good, so I removed it. Maybe next time I just need to record better sound for it. Thx

Fun idea and gameplay, good artstyle! Was just a bit hard to tell where new enemies would come from sometimes.

garygreen 2018-12-04 21:36

I really enjoyed this fun game. The graphics made me smile, especially being chased by a mass of placard wielding protesters. :)

sbeif 2018-12-04 21:42

This is really funny, I love the sound effects! Very well done, at first I thought the movement felt a bit too inertial but I was actually able to dodge all incoming progressive green people just enough to keep me on edge. Very well done!

jhell 2018-12-04 21:52

I really digged the graphics, the gameplay was less engaging to me. Nice submission though!

narudgi 2018-12-05 14:14

Quite fun, I feel like you should have gave crazy power to the guy we are playing for sacrifice we made (like that we could destroy the progressive people mwhahaha) big gg for your first entry in the hard mode of the ludum o:

mrnyarlathotep 2018-12-08 17:31

Nice entry! Simple idea, but well executed. I seemed to do better just ignroing the cows and altars, and focussing only on kiting the mobs and avoiding them, as the only thing tracked at game over is time survived - maybe add points for killing cows to stop ignoring the objective a valid tactic? Its a compo entry, so I don't want to be too nit-picky, but I think maybe an unobtrusive ground texture would have helped break the game screen up a little, or some more non blocking objects like grass patches, but like I say, I understand how tight time limits can be in a competition entry, so that really is nit picking.

egawag 2018-12-08 20:58

No. Cow. Shall. Survive!

lmb 2018-12-08 22:28

Nice simple game. Smooth controls. I smiled at the literal interpretation of "green activists" :smile:

candlesan 2018-12-08 22:46

Sacrificed 6 cows in 108 seconds was my best. Funny theme. I like the art and animation on the angry mob. Nice to see a cow level :)

gilborn 2018-12-09 18:09

Extreme funny and addicting - tried and tried until i appeased the god. Also to mention, the interpretation of the theme and the music makes a humorous mood. The animations and graphics are also very good for a LD.

In short: nothing to say here, great game!

bitdecay 2018-12-09 21:18

Took me a few tries to realize exactly what I had to do. Was able to beat it in 103 seconds. The assets are pretty nice, thought I got confused at first from the description saying "green people" and the only thing that was green was the main character. (his mohawk)

Nice work!

tpamir 2018-12-10 12:41

Ahaha loved the art! Only one comment wish there was more interactions! Cheers!

antoine-vion 2018-12-10 20:39

Hi !, Nice game, I like the concept and the mechanic, it was fun ;)

The mood is so cool!

very nice job ;p

limnori 2018-12-28 12:06

Its a nice gameplay concept and well executed.

Alternative way of interpreting the theme rather than making it a mechanic. I liked the humour of the theme and the sound effect when you have loads of enemies chasing you.

Think there couldve been a few more "flavour" pieces or obstacles on the terrain to make it less of a plain open field, but the gameplay makes up for this a bit with the slightly floaty turning which adds more challenge.
