I enjoyed playing the game the movement seemed a little wonky, but i did enjoy the cow sound lol!! Adding some background music would have been a nice feature just like some country type music to kind of give more of the feel of being on a farm. Overall i enjoyed the theme of your game.
I like the oldschool looking art style :) it feels a little inconsistent though, not exactly sure why, maybe using dithering for shading could work well here. also I wish the character could move a little bit faster, so that I can get those orders out quicker hehe. love the sound the cows make when you melk them haha.
The "moo" cracked me up.
Looks very good. Good job. Only controls didnt feel that smooth
I like the graphical style. The directions of the controls being misaligned by 45 degrees was _really_ confusing. Made it extremely difficult to enjoy the game. A warning that you can only hold one type of thing in your hand at once would also be helpful.
Aiming at the udders was a bit fiddely at times, but managing the different tasks with a limited set of hands did make for an interestign set of challanges.
Ayy! This is really similar to my game, i love it! My only complaint is the movement scheme, it was hard to get used to but i still enjoyed my experience :)
Nice little farm game. :D Sometimes it is a bit hard to interact but apart from this the mechanics work well!
@codechomper Cute game, not too clear on the proper methodology to milk cows or load the truck though I figured it out by trial and error! - Would be nice additions: brief explanation or how to, indicator for what's on the truck rather than the negative notation to required items.
Great work :)
I liked the general style, reminded me of a game I played sometime in the early 00s. However, some kind of indication telling you what will happen if space is pressed. I put down the bucket several times when I wanted to milk a cow. Also, the bucked weirdly floats if the players position is right. Same for the edge of the barn - when standing in the right spot it'll look like the character is floating in front of it. Still a nice prototype though, really enjoyed it :)
Fun for how simple the game was. I do have to agree some of the interactions were a bit hard to do but I just found that I was sitting that patting the cow over and over listening to the moo. All in all a good game for the jam :clap: .
Controls really messed with my head, why is up not up!! The noise in the background of the footsteps was irritating but the rest of the SFX were fun - "Mooooooooooo" And I really like the graphical style, it's clean and reminds me of old PC games from the 90s :D
The 45 degree angle of the level really threw me off for a bit and getting milk is a bit too difficult. I think it would make the game more enjoyable if the cow stopped moving when you got close. But Overall, good game! :slight_smile:
Quite a nice graphics and pleasant farm sounds.
Movement felt a bit strange, hard to get used to. I don't know if that is a bug or intended behavior, but picking up any carrots reset my egg count to 0, picking up eggs reset my carrot count to 0.
Nice, solidly made game. There is something about isometric graphics like this that just makes you at ease. The UI texts are quite small if improvement ideas are being considered :)
The live of a farmer is tough, and your game shows it well ! I liked the graphic style, it reminded me kind of the Sims games graphics.
I found the concept solid, however I had some issues with the some resources, for example, when I took eggs then carrots, my eggs disappeared, it was a frustating, since the eggs take time to spawn.
Moreover, I found the movement system kind of strange and weird at first, but I got use to it, so it works well, however, it doesn't feel natural.
Overall, good job !
I love the mood of this game. Sure, the controls are kinda clunky, but the isometric view is cool, and for 72 hours... c'mon- it's great! I made it 7 orders before I called it quits. Having grown up in a rural area- I think it is spot on as far as life on a farm. Work work work. Maybe with a little story in-between the orders, there would be more incentive to continue playing? Great job and thank you for the game!

Cool isometric graphics! It seemed to work pretty well.
Kudos for the isometric perspective. The game could use a background music and a walk sfx with less static so it's less jarring when you stop moving. Milking the cows is super finicky, maybe a highlight on the cow or something could help
I needed time before understand how to get milk (I was trying to get it by the side of the cows, and not at their heads :sweat_smile:), but the graphics are polished and you must have spent a lot of time on it, good job!
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
