Delightfully mad! I like the rewind the loop

Haha this one is wacky for sure :D The rewind mechanic on the path is pretty cool. It was especially cool to play for a while putting out the fires, and then rewind all the way back putting out more fires on your way back. Nice work!

Thank you. I didn't even think about putting fires while rewinding, nice catch!

I saved 230 trees! There should also be a counter of how many trees weren't saved, because I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad score. I found the mooing rather humorous, but as you mentioned it gets to be a bit much after some time. I also liked the "Ah-haa!" sound the guy at spawn makes. Great work all around.

That's true. There are exactly a thousand, but of course how you could you know that without having made it? haha. I think I get around 700, using twin sticks controls help a lot too.

The mooing needs some spatial rolloff tweaking and management to avoid overwhelming, each cow actually moos once every 30-100 seconds, but end up being A LOT anyway!

Thanks to everyone for playing through.

Really nice concept - bizarre and fun art style! The hose mechanic is solid and I like the fact that you are on a globular planetoid type thing. Getting stuck in the loops of the hose is a really great take on the theme!
