Looks cool! Love art style) But something strange happened with sounds, it starts to loop one cow sound

fatpenguin 2019-04-30 19:50

Thank you! :D We're glad you like it!

Hmm, that's strange.. and straight going to the list of bugs we hpefully will fix soon ;) Hope you enjoyed playing nevertheless and thanks for checking it out! :)

raffe 2019-04-30 21:11

Was kind of depressing playing a 2 player game by myself ;_; Besides that it was really funny and the art direction was point on! I think this would be a blast with 2 players to battle it out on who gets more cows, but it was okay even by myself. Congrats on making a good game guys!

EDIT: And to add up the UI and all elements are really coool!

fatpenguin 2019-04-30 21:31

@raffe Thank youuu! :D Hehe, I know the feeling but I did it as well, the trick is to pretend to just be better than Player 2.. :-) Thanks again! You have to try it with another person, we tried to do it so the 2 players will battle for the first cow at the most obvious and nearest sport for both :D ]:)

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:31

Really fun and funny ! I love the cows !

slotha 2019-05-01 20:32

Very fun! The music was really good and appropriate for the game and the speed at witch it is played. I also played it on my own and still had fun! maybe add a singleplayer mode where player 2 is an AI? Overall Outstanding job!

zaphire 2019-05-01 20:32

Art was beautiful!

fatpenguin 2019-05-01 20:44

@PixScope Thank you! :D Mooo! :3 Did you enjoy the sounds? ;D

@slotha: Thank you so much! :D Yeah agreed I also played it a couple time by myself, haha :D and agreed, we wanted to continue working on it and have so much more ideas :D maybe even different quests with other objectives! Who knows.. :) Glad you liked it!

@Zaphire: Thank you! :D appreciate it!

lakrits 2019-05-01 21:53

This is excellent, only flaw is that there's a guy making noises in my ear whenever I move the UFO. Tried pressing the mute button in settings but it didn't do anything, might have a bug there (I played the HTML5 version).

koalaura 2019-05-01 22:03

This game looks awesome! I am in love with the graphics! Sadly I didn't have anyone near to play against me but I have a pretty good idea of how this would be an awesome party game. Also, did you make the UFO noises yourself? Made me laugh! Good job!

fatpenguin 2019-05-02 16:01

@Lakrits: flaw!? I'm sure you meant to write "feature".. :D yeah the farting sound is meant to be the ship sound hehe, sorry :D glad you liked it overall :D and yeah, the mute button is kinda like.. yeah.. show off ;)

@koalaura thank youuuu! :D Just do it next time someone is around hehe. don't even give them a choice (that's what I told family and friends when I sent them the link to our game :D) Hehe, I just asked our sound dude, but apparently not! I was pretty surprised, like you I thought he did them :D

frog5tar 2019-05-02 16:46

Great Game. Love the sounds and graphics, would like to see a 1 player option live vs a ai :)

angiemon 2019-05-02 17:18

@FROG5TAR: Thank you! :D Yup, that's one of the things we're planning to do :)

attala 2019-05-02 18:11

Really fun game. Me and my daughter thank you for a good time :)

douglima 2019-05-02 18:27

Very cool the fact you took the time to do a multiplayer game. The execution was great, it works nicely. The art is well polished. Fun game to play with a friend. Good job! :smile:

schitzn 2019-05-02 18:29

Thanks everybody for your feedback! We are glad you have some fun with our little game! :)

volatile-dove 2019-05-02 19:11

Nice graphics/art!

johannimations 2019-05-02 21:58

What a pitty that it is a multiplayer game. I think that could reduce your chances a lot.

michaelsonbritt 2019-05-02 22:08

Poor cows, just tryna enjoy some grass. If the humans don't getcha, the alien saucers will. The game is fun and cute! I'd like to see the pace a bit faster though, like maybe speed upgrades would be huge and cheap at first, but with strong diminishing returns.

angiemon 2019-05-03 05:50

@attala thank you! We’re glad our work was able to bring you fun, that’s what a game should be about right, so thaaaaaanks! :D

@douglima thank you for playing! Hope you had a good time with your friend/so :D did you win? ;D We were double checking the colliders before releasing so no one could „cheat“ haha :))

@volatile-dove thank you kind sir ❤️

@johannimations hmmm.. you think? :D Broforce was once an LD Entry and Multiplayer only and look were it is now ;D :P I don’t necessarily agree with PvP keeping people from playing :) we want to add an AI P2 though, so good call :)

@michaelsonbritt humans are the worst right?! That’s what I already learned from so many other games here done by great artists.. apparently aliens are no better :P thank you for playing! ❤️

cubicode 2019-05-03 13:54

WOW. Very cool game. I played way to long. It's even funny alone.

Especially the sound when flying made me happy.

sangemdoko 2019-05-03 16:32

Great game! As fellow penguins (our group is called sleeping penguinz) we will consider you our rival from now on! You seem to have more experience but one day we will catch up! Joke aside I think you did a amazing job and it would be awesome if you made this into a full fleged game!

norris-eldridge 2019-05-03 21:35

Nice, solid entry. Definitely would have been more fun had I had a friend to play against lol but still quite good. I did think the menu music was a bit abrasive though, but again overall nice work :)

kyavi 2019-05-03 21:36

super cute art style and the audio is great. kind reminds me of 'destroy all humans' on the ps2 ^-^

mrbrooms 2019-05-03 21:42

It's a good game but I think you can find a way to upgrade faster than with a shop because I really want to use my all time to capture some cows and not really to buy upgrades. So you can bind buttons and not click maybe or another way to shop like a place to upgrade my capacity and another place to upgrade my speed.

But I will keep a eye on your project if you want to improve it ;)

angiemon 2019-05-03 21:59

@norris-eldridge really? :D I thought the ingame music was much more "aggressive" so to say haha :) Thanks for playing! <3

@kyavi thank you! glad you liked it! :)

@mrbrooms first of all, thank you for playing and your feedback! About upgrading without the shop I personally might have to disagree, because that's the challenge of having to manage your time to perfection to get the most cows, isn't it? :D I will admit however that the shop needs some more work, but you know how it is with LD builds, haha ;) The different shops idea is quite intriguing, maybe we'll do some different levels and that could be one variation! Thanks for the idea and for taking your time to play and comment! <3

hpmnk 2019-05-04 02:05

I really loved the idea of that game, the potential is huge for a nice VS game : D Couldn't try it with a friend, as i was alone tryin it, but felt like it can be really funny with an opponent

I love how you put effort on feedback (capacity full feedback is nice, and the input to rotate the ship is cool when you just going to point A to B.

I would recommend adding some sort of Speed Boost to add some struggle between players , and i also felt little colliders were a bit frustrating. I think the ship should be able to cross little environment props, and still not be able to avoid trees and big rocks : )

angiemon 2019-05-04 07:56

@hpmnk hi and thanks for taking the time to play our game! :) glad you liked it! Agreed, some assets should be placed differently (because the colliders must be that way, haha :P) About the speed boost thing, I had an idea that we add fuel, when you fly normally it doesn’t drain, but when you have a speed boost or hop over and obstacle or something it takes a huge amount of fuel and once it’s empty she ship sinks to the ground and you have to (noticeably slower) roll back to you base to refill for free. If you decide that would take too long, you can always mash up a cow or two for instand fuel refill :D We also wanted to add some sort of beam from the base where you can also stun your opponent, steam cows etc, but you know how it is with LD, hehe. :) although we‘d like to continue working on it :D

elmo 2019-05-04 10:59

cool game, too bad i have no one to play with

themoonrise 2019-05-04 12:05

Fun game. We really enjoyed playing. The only problem was that player two uses ctrl to beam, which lead to numerous shortcuts being triggered while playing. Otherwise, great job!

johnnysix 2019-05-04 14:13

Great stuff - sadly I had nobody to play with. Like others have said, the movement/collision could be smoothed out a little, particularly around obstacles. If you continue to develop this post-dare, would advise against doing too much to the movement ( in terms of fuel or anything else ) beyond just smoothing the movement around the rocks, and maybe having speed upgrades. I wouldn't add in any other additional mechanics.

If anything I'd make the movement a little faster, as it can get frustrating trying to get the cows back to base and feels a bit of a grind .

A semi-guided movement would be good, so for obstacles like rocks/trees etc, the ship automatically moves around it without colliding.

garys 2019-05-04 17:21

Liked the style of this, and I can see lots of potential for a fun 2 player game with some of the things you've mentioned in the comments - speed boosts, fuel and the like. I too found the collision a little jarring, especially when hitting up against low bushes that I think I should have been able to fly over... but either way this is a solid game even in its current state. Sadly, I too played alone. :( AI would be awesome. Or online play?

kostasvs 2019-05-04 20:11

Great game! Like others said, AI would be awesome :wink:

dorblin7z7 2019-05-05 04:22

Nice graphics and I like the idea, but unfortunately without another player I really just had to experience this as a 'sandbox' game. I would have liked to be able to go for a high score in the time limit instead.

chriz 2019-05-05 07:57

@elmo & @themoonrise & @johnnysix & @garys & @kostasvs & @dorblin7z7 Thanks to all your constructive feedback guys :) we really appreciate that you liked the game and we will definitely work on stuff like AI, smoother controls and game play improvements. As for the jam time we are proud to have gotten that far in 48 hours :grin: @johnnysix you had very good points, we'll consider these movement improvements for sure, thanks :v: Stay tuned for updates!

sebeee 2019-05-05 09:26

Good game, i like the idea but i just had nobody to play with, to make the game better you could include AI

erikkire 2019-05-06 17:30

Graphics are very good, nice models. Music and sound are also very good and I can not find anything to complain about, but as mentioned above, some AI to play against would be a nice addition. Amazing results for a short game jam. One last thing, the music intro reminded me about the super hexagon soundtrack ;)

pablotitan 2019-05-09 06:19

Great game actually! :D I didn't like that cows can go through objects like stones and trees and I couldn't! They were escaping me! I should fly over stones and trees and the cows are the ones that shouldn't! :D Except that, the game is really polished, I really like the polyart - it's so neat and levels are well designed. In the future, consider adding boosts, different cows behavior, maybe enemies - farmers trying to shoot you down? :D

rheel 2019-05-11 21:29

Very fun game! Played it with my girlfriend's brother, who enjoyed it too! Seemed a very polished game, even though there were some collision problems (aliens can't fly over bushes/rocks/trees, but cows can run through them). Again, very nice game!

pequenodev 2019-05-16 21:11

Funny and good mood, loved the poly style. I came back to play it again, it seems now would be great against a friend hehehe. Nice job!

nathant 2019-05-19 19:14

This is a robust LD multiplayer entry. The instructions page was very helpful, and loved how the camera zoomed in for the tense CQB moments. We were finding some strange hotkey combos playing on a shared keyboard in Chrome, but otherwise things ran smoothly. Had some tense capacity vs. speed moments. Could be nice to have rare powerups to compete over in the world for future dev. Overall great work!
