Really cute game, I absolutely love the graphics. There are some interesting interactions and I got myself lost in parts of the map I was not supposed to be at, but I consider those features, not bugs. Really good game!

what a nice game,i love the graphics,the sound really catchy and it's really fun to play,nice going!
​Bem legal o visual do jogo
Rly liked the game, loved the graphycs, the only bug I found is that my mouse keeps showing in the middle of the screen, but i liked it much!
Cute little game, I liked the visuals, but like somebody else said before you get lost pretty easily on the map. Also, when opening a chest an item got stuck inside the chest, so I was unable to pick it up :( Apart from this it's a fun game with great visuals and sounds!
very nice 2 things I manged to glitch my self into the ground died and you cant quit with out a touch screen or just quiting the guy could have walked faster
Really nice one ! I love graphism and music at start. Very nice job !!!
The graphics and gameplay come together to make a short but sweet adventure through the deserted wasteland. The dialogue was amusing, and so was the massive chain of animals I had amassed by the end. Very well done!
Alot of personality was out into this. Nice music, art and tone.
Great music a gameplay
This was a whole lot of fun, good job! Really enjoyed the humorous dialogue and the ending sequence had me cracking up! Thanks for making this :)
Great Game!
nice piece, really like the idea
I just finished and that was really cool. Graphics are smooth, i like how it match with the theme and i'm wondering if there is a political message behind your game. In brief, great work guys !
I really like the music, well done!
Really love everything about this game, nice work!
Great graphics! I'm amazed by how much content you got in there and a cute mechanic. Really pleasant experience. I wish there were a few more guys to kill, since the brief experience I had was fun.
One weird thing I noticed. After you cross the bridge if the guy steals one of your animals but you kill him before he puts the cow in the fence then any additional animals you have follow you will just sit next to the stolen animal. Not game breaking, since you can still use them to do stuff but thought I'd point it out.
Great Project. The Artstyle is outstanding for this short time. The gameplay fits the Topic and is creative with a good narration with gameplay.
Nice graphics ! I liked it !
The graphics are awesome, the theme is very well respected and the way you used it is fun. Good job guys.
Loved this. Watched on stream and rated, didn't play. The title theme is awesome, and the art is just perfect.
haha very funny punchline at the end
Awesome models. The polished look of them all and the environment really sold this game for me. I liked the little quests, left me eager for more :)
The character models are very good. The camera is not in the best angle imo, the animation of hitting is very heavy(maybe a layer mask animation would be better ?)Very nice polished entry.
This game is great, especially speaking about visuals, UI and sound, so smooth and superb work.
What have you done to those sheep, you MONSTERS !!! Great game, fun and nice music, but not sure if it really fits the theme.
The visual were very good, the music was good and totally adapted :)
Yeah, the sheep still moving in the spike pit is nightmare fuel, wiggling on the border of life and death. Well I guess it's still better than lava...? I managed to sacrifice 15 animals (and a chunk of wood) to the volcano gods, so there shouldn't be any famine anytime soon, I'm proud of myself. Never got any fruit or cloth for trading though, and only one bandit, so maybe I didn't have an optimal run.
Models are great, while the cutesy animals were nailed as expected, you also pulled off the b u f f native dude incredibly well, kudos for that. Music is good, it wouldn't feel out of place in an Aladdin game or something, definitely fits. Fighting the bandit was pretty fun, I liked that, that felt satisfying. Very cool entry!
The low poly style was phenomenal and I liked the innovation of the game, great job, solid entry, cheers!
@siryakko Thank you! I agree with you about the theme. The initial idea was to focus on using the cattle as currency, giving it away to buy stuff (like with the merchant) and vice versa, and having it stolen by bandits, but as we progressed we ended up using the cattle more as an 'item' needed to progress.
Fun game, liked the art. a piece of wood hit me and I fell through the map though xD
nice use of the theme, great job!
The stylized graphics are really good! The 3d went really well together with the 2d ui design. Seems like I strayed outside of the map sometimes but otherwise a really solid game!
I like the visuals and the animal caravan mechanic felt pretty cool, bringing 20 animals along with you feels nice.
Love the visuals in this. Very polished and well done. Audio was non-intrusive and fit the game well. I appreciated how the game taught me what to do through hints. I did run into a problem where one of the three pieces of wood couldn't be picked up (I only had two cows when I opened the chest), so I wasn't able to complete that mission.
I will never trash sheeps in volcanos, sorry. Btw the game is cool and graphics are amazing !
I think you should add some more fonts, to make things a little more eye-catching.
I love those models. The mechanics of cattle is interesting. I also like different uses of cattle to overcome different obstacles, especially :sheep: I miss a little bit more of a challenge, defeat the bandit was easy and then it was enough to just run around and collect sheep. I didn't even use the shop for the first playthrough, on my second I sold accidentally more cows than I wanted when I tried to pick up the wood.
Overall you did a good job. :goat: :cow2: :sheep:
I like the graphics and the mechanics. Well done game.
Very good ! The graphics are very beautiful and the mechanic of collecting the animals and make them follow you one by one is very sarisfying and interesting. The use of different animals for different actions is very interesting but I don't understand why a cow would die when you take off the wood it has on it. The game map is huge and the gameplay is very diversified, Congratulations for making such a good game in a such little period of time !
good graphics
the difficult needs to be a little bit higher but in all its a good job :heart: the solund fits with the game, the graphic is amazing and the animals cute :laughing:
for now best game i play in this LD. found bug when send goats to stone you can send second and its buged.
i Really loved the game and the graphics are amazing, its hard to believe that this was made just in 3 days
I loved the graphics and the music was amazing but I didn't quite get what to do — I tried crossing the river many different times and always died. And I also died when the wooden shopkeeper started throwing wood at me :D But maybe it was just me ... 3D art was amazing, kudos to the artist(s).
Incredible game ! Beautiful 3D graphics, cool gameplay, nice characters and amazing music ! What a beautiful work ! :star: :clap:
Beautiful graphics ! good job.
Very good entry. The graphical style was really well done, had no problems there.
I felt that sound effects weren't great, and got really grating after a while. Also, it was strange to have combat when there was only one encounter in the game, it feels like that time could have been better spent expanding the non-violent part of the game. Concept-wise I like the idea of expending animals to progress, but it felt strange that a cow would die after turning in an item and sheep being used to cross spikes felt a bit contrived. I would say that my biggest complaint was the movement speed relative to the world size, as it just took forever to go from place to place. I noticed that I got a slight boost when hitting space, so I ended up spamming space to go at max speed which wasn't great.
Overall though, I think this was a really good entry nitpicks aside.
Great game! Graphics is the best, the world is huge and the characters are awesome. Gameplay and sound are very good as well. Just a couple of things I found a bit annoying: - mouse pointer doesn't disappear; - found a breach in the level layout, walked for a minute or so until walked to a dead end with a river. Was to lazy to go back, so tried to drown. After that, my cattle stayed on the other side of the river and all the new animals behaved really weird stretching the chain across the whole island and going away from me; - after the sacrifice to the volcano, which was actually quite hilarious, the game behaved weirdly. The game over screen is on, but I could still interact with the volcano and hear the resulting sounds; - dialog and animal sounds were a bit unnatural, but maybe it's just me.
Overall, amazing job!
Really a nice job. the cell shaded animals are nice, i loved the music and the whole mood of the game. The end is really surprising. Thank you for your game
Very nice game!
I like the idea walking with those cows around like a train :sweat_smile:
Beutiful, low-poly graphics and nice music, great job!
Very cool game, with nice sounds and awesome graphics! Great job
Love the graphics in this! Wish there were more UI elements to explain things. Also the font for reading text is difficult to read. Nice job, though.
Tried running it via `wine` on Ubuntu the opening screen loaded but was unclickable. Just an FYI
Nice game. Graphics look cute, music is fitting to the environment and gameplay, and all the little dialogues and jokes made me giggle (especially dancer under the tree :smile:).
So much content how did you have time for all this! defeating the bandits could have been more difficult I think. Honestly this game is incredibly polished and the world size is perfect. Great Game! 4.5 from me.
Wow that is great. Nice art style, nice concept and love that the goats can follow xD.... Love it.
Finished the game. Did die randomly once for no apparent reason (maybe the wood fell on me?). Cute game overall, made me think of starting with low poly 3D myself...
Great gameplay and graphics. The mechanics of adding animals to chain and later using them is a great idea.
Awesome graphics, neat and clean UI, and with a complete game loop!
I missed some Sfx : no footsteps, no "hoovesteps", rock smashing and breaking, no animals idle grows, no ambience effects (wind, eagles, buzards, crows, wind, river), spear attack sfx not well synced with the animation and no grunt from protagonist.
The camera should spin around the protagonist to avoid weird angles (maybe alllows the user to use Q/E to rotate it).
I had a bug which made my cows sitll carry the wood i gave to the bridge guy and leaving me without enough inventory space to collect other items.
More scenario animated elements to give an increased immersion like a simples vertex displacement shader on the trees and grass, sandstorm or dust particles floating around and maybe thumbleweeds passing by.
More clutter on the plain ground, like small rocks and more grass pachs and vegetatiton variance.
Impresive work on the aesthetic. Cute game. Well done ++
Thats a creative interpretation of the theme! The graphics look really good. I like the game:)
Great game. A bit buggy but its really good what with having so little time
Funny game! At the place were you sacrifice the sheep I ditched my giant train of animals. So when the ladies made comments about how I am bringing the whole islands food supply with me, I realised that you don't check how many animals are following me. After the game is finished you continue to centre the screen on the mouse cursor, so you can't actually press quit. Other than those things, was it a great game.
325 ratings given? Does it count both of you, because that's a massive amount of games to play!
Lovely game! Played it until the end and really loved the entire experience!
Wow, really well polished experience. I love the shading and art style. It was really easy to pick and understand. Didn't think I would die in the water though! :D
As soon as I opened the game, this tribal music filled me with joy, its honestly great. The fact that sounds differentiate based on what animal you interact with is a adds varience and they are pretty funny. Graphics though are simple, the game is 3D and they are made in 3 days and are enjoyable to the eye which is a great plus. The game was very fun and easy to catch up on what to do.
Lol poor ships that were used to open the route xD
Attack animation feels a bit sluggish. I think making it more rapid would be a great idea. There was a bug: 1- Sometimes animals are stuck in objects and dont move, or if lets say you push a sheep into the spikes and release it, then you cant interact with it anymore and you cant pass on, animals shouldnt be able to go into that hole.
Overall its an amazing experience, I dont see much good 3D games made in 3 days which accounts for any bugs, well done guys!
(You rated a lot of games gj on that too, shows how dedicated you are :smile:)
Ok the art direction is *top notch*! Music, sfx and of course the visuals are fantastic. The camera angle was great too, which is an accomplishment! Also what a clever take on the theme, having your money follow you and double as other things too! Fantastic entry, I'm very impressed!!!!
I played until I got stuck on the bridge: When the goat who was wandering on the bridge was added to my followers, I was right in between the first and the last one, then got sadly stuck there 😢

Anyway, from what I've tested so far, you have an incredibly pro looking game here 😮 The music fits perfectly the mood, the sound fx are really good (however I'm not a huge fan of the sound used for the girls when they talk), the mechanics are easy to understand and you have plenty of time to test what you have to learn before getting into the real stuff.
I will of course test the game again to have a complete view of your awesome work 😃
Great job, I'm looking forward to seeing more from you (have you got a Twitter account?)
The artstyle was really well-done! usually I don't like 3D graphics, but yours had a clear distinct style to it that made it really nice to look at! The gameplay is innovative; I've never seen another game like this before! The animals are cute! Please fix the audio, my ears hurt ;-;
@reality-blind glad you liked it, and sorry for the bugs :D
and yeah we all have twitters :)

I've played this game in a video.

It was so great! One of my favorite of this jam.
One of the better entries I've seen!
The art is excellent and the concept fits the theme. I liked the music too, however some of the sfx wasn't great. I was happy with the amount of content as well, it felt like an entire experience and didn't end too suddenly. Good job!
Couple of bugs I experienced (nothing absolutely game breaking): - Falling through the world and dying - Items from a chest getting stuck inside it, preventing me from interacting with them - Mouse showing in the middle of the screen throughout the game
I absolutely adore the mainmenu music it just made me really excited for your game! And playing through it was something else entirely, it felt like I was playing through a Zelda game for some reason, and it really made me happy. Great job, though a more menacing build up of the impending doom would have made it 10x better, overall it was a fantastic game with great graphics though one thing I had to say is that there a glitch or an unintended mechanic where you can spam space to quickly travel across the land. Thanks for submitting a game, I loved it!
Haha, great game. Fits the theme and has nice graphics. Sadly there was only one enemy to kill. It's a good concept that can be transported over to a great game. Keep it up!
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

Interesting game. Looks really polished on first glance and feels very fluid and intuitive on first play. The soundtrack is pretty fitting, but the sound effects were a bit too loud and annoying. Especially in Dialogue.
The core mechanics seemed to work well but there's a lot of possibilites to break the game. For example, I was able to just run over a hill but my following animals were tried to go around it. After that I saw, that the only exit is blocked by stones which can only be opened by the rams... which were very far away by now trying to reach me. Also, the actual goal of the game was kind of a mystery to me. I had an attack, but, at least as far as I've played, there was nothing to attack. After I got stuck, I didn't really feel like starting over. The walking speed seemed rather slow in comparison to the world size and it seemd a little like the game was wasting my time.
All in all a solid entry. Polished look and working mechanics, but with some game breaking issues, that can kil lthe fun
What an awesome game! Really enjoyed it! Have you considered making it a mobile game? I think it'd do well!
Very interesting take on the theme, it was great fun to run around with all the animals chained to you. While the sounds are well executed (especially the animal sounds!), the volume mixing could have been balanced better. The graphics were mostly beautiful, except for the "rough edges" that the map had to it in remote areas. When triggering chests, the objects fly all over the place and can get stuck easily, which should be fixed.
Liked the game a lot, i loved the feeling i had when a had a long string of animals following me, it's very good!. But the fact that you don't use the animals too much is a turn down, it could be more dinamic. But overall the game is nice and fun
Cool game. Just fix some stuff and smooth up the mechanics and it's good!
Wow sounds like a great game! I would love to play it, I buy and sell cryptos for a living, if you're interested check https://www.bitcoinharvestltd.com/what-is-bitcoin/bitcoin-exchange/, there you can find all the important information to get started, thanks to this I know have a lot of free time and I can spend it in my favorite games.
