Nice game. Really liked the sfx. Fun to play.

I absolutely love the sounds. Really highly polished too! I found the cows were too hard to move unless I was right next to them when they spawned, so I focused on the chickens and pigs. Nice work! High score of.... 23. lol.

"Goonnn Giiiittt" -- Best audio ever. While I admired the responsiveness and the audio, I found it hard to be engaged with this one. I wasn't sure what made someone a better a worse player. Also, I sensed a lack of feedback on the UI for "how well am I doing?". Some small interface improvements (or upgrades) could go a long way with this.

Fun concept. Could use some reward sound or score for getting animals back in. Feels impossibly hard to get and keep animals in. Some upgrades would be cool.

The sounds were great ("Goon Giiit" will stick with me for a few days :smile:) Concept was fun, found it a bit difficult to move the animals reliably though. Also a score indicator before the game is over would be nice. I enjoyed this, great job!

The graphics were really nice. It seems like sometimes animals would react the way I expected and sometimes they wouldn't budge no matter how many times I wrangled them. The sound effects were good at first but got a bit grating after a while, especially when they kept interrupting each other

holy heck this is a really good entry! i love the animals rolling around and the physics and mechanics were simple and sweet. the sound effects are also rather charming and music is really nice too.

but yeah the only issue is that its hard to actually have any kind of strategy or precision, since its hard to tell the radius of your wrangling. i guess thats the point but otherwise this is super clean and polished. great game!!

The audio is cool! I wasn't sure of what to do, make them go in groups, bring them back in, calm them down? Mabe play a sound when the go back in with a +1 beside the stable, idk. Worth trying though!

@wamien the "yee haw!" is what plays when animals make it back, but I think you're right that some kind of floating "+1" would help drive the point home.

Herding these animals ain't so easy as it seems, pardner! Those cows aren't afraid of my yeehaw's at all, haha.

Lovely little game, and greetings from a namesake! :smile:

Game is fun, but boy do I suck at it.

gingerningerish 2021-10-06 22:51

Cute game, made me laugh a little well done.

squigglez 2021-10-07 00:13

loved the graphics and sound on this one !

proz 2021-10-07 00:19

Haha! My game in this jam is very similar to this one. Nice voice acting.

marius-png 2021-10-07 00:21

great game with cute graphics and sounds!

kyrell 2021-10-07 00:58

Love this take on the theme! Very cute style!

npr0nn 2021-10-08 21:27

Nicee game, i didn't catch initially what to do, but adorable art style.

guessimluna 2021-10-08 21:53

10/10 sfx, love the idea. a bit too many things spawn IMO but more personal than me knowing what im talkin bout

denzil-gomes 2021-10-09 14:30

Nice game, the sound effects really add a lot to it! Reminded me of the Earthworm Jim sfx if you've played that

mighty-tiny 2021-10-10 11:48

It's like the game-boy game I always wanted.

itshornunicorn 2021-10-16 19:20

Nice entry! I really like sfx. I think you made it with your own voice and it feels like you were born to be a cowboy on a wild west. There is no audio or visual feedback from the game if I did something wrong or right. The goal of the game I understood only after finish it hah. Nice job! Keep doing a good job!
