@soolop Ollie get your friends in line
I love the out-of-the-box interpretation of "Un-Stable", because for the first hour of the jam I kept thinking to myself, "What's the opposite of a horse stable?", but couldn't come up with an answer.
This was fun! I was surprised how many animals there were. The graphics and animation are great
This game is cute! I love the art and the dashing goats and other animals. Definitely got way too overconfident in the first run. My posse of daring farm animals went toe to toe with the radioactive horse king and his subordinates, but it was too much and all my farm friends abandoned me :(
Absolutely loved it!
Really liked the lassoing radioactive farm animals gameplay and the graphics. Good humorous game, was fun to play and music suited the game well. Nice work!
Damn, goats got me cornered at some point :D Really nice game, nice graphics and music :thumbsup:
i like it a lot! great job and very funny
top rating across the board! I had such an amazing time playing this!! great job
Managing big horde of animals is really fun and there is nice feeling of the progress. I enjoyed it much
This was really an interesting idea concept, ahahha! I loved playing it. The ArtStyle is veeery good and positive. Love the color you've used.
IT's always good to catch some chickens, hehe
Great game! I loved building up my army of animals and having them follow me. I felt like a very powerful and affluent farmer! The lasso mechanic was fun. I would have liked to see some feedback on the animals when you have to lasso them more than once other than the health bar. Great job!
Loved the art and the mood the game has. Wasn't expecting that many animals so that's cool! Once I got into the cow and ostrich area I felt like I was walking in the wrong neighbourhood :joy:
Great entry!
I had a lot of fun with this! The music choice was amazing.
I absolutely loved the music and sound effects! Paired perfectly with the eye popping artwork. Lasso animations could have been better, but the game play was fantastic, and really cool innovative mechanics!
Even tho i couldnt catch the green horse, i had a blast playing the game. Really fun to play and great to look and listen to!!!
Phenomenal. I lost the whole herd in a chain reaction tackle-fest and couldn't be happier about it. The song will ring in these ears until I die. 10/10
Nicely done! Gonna have to get that song out of my head. It would have been nice to have the lasso return to you after you've thrown it.
The gameplay is fun with katamari-esque elements, the lasso felt like throwing a pokeball as the animal gets weaker and the artstyle and atmosphere is awesome.
There's a couple quality of life improvements I think would be useful:
1)Either having the animals closer to the radius of the player or having the camera zoomed out further, as the animals always seem to just be out of sight
2)If the stamina arrow shows where the lasso lands
3)There are times when an enemy animal charges at your herd and gets lost in it, which makes it difficult to find which one it is, there also seems to be a snowball effect when the charging enemies will take their own out of the the herd, then those animals will start charging, making you lose the herd very quickly, may be better losing an animal at random instead making it easier to recover.
4) I also managed to cheese my way through the game by being out the the enemy detection or not moving.
There is really great potential here to be a super great game and I managed capture the mutant horse in the end. Solid effort.
Really keeps you on your toes! I was so close to the end when I got clobbered by everything I lassoed haha. I made a point to get everything then, even the chickens I missed at the beginning! Was really excited to face off with our majestic green feller when it ended kind of anticlimactic by not charging me once... but the pun at the end made it worth it!
Good Job! I liked the animation and the art
omg the music is perfection
Incredible game. I played with pleasure.
Not gonna lie: A belt for the lasso would have been nice...other than that: awesome game! I loved the mood of the whole thing. The animal sounds were amazing and I really liked the mechanics. Really loved the fact that hostile animals had a prediction line. Didn't get to the part with the horse (after like 10 minutes of playing) but the screenshots look promising :)
What a cool entry! Fun and quirky mechanics. Song made me giggle! Well done!
this is one of the best games on this jam! i loved it so much fun to have.
You really made a great job on this one ! I wish I could un-zoom a bit, also, when you pass behind a building you don't see anything... Anyway a high production value on this one, those sound effects... Did you do you music too ? If yes well done !
The game has a slightly unresponsive lasso mechanic, but when I figured out how it works, I really enjoy it! And when combined with music, this one becomes incredibly fun! Great job guys! 😊
But it seemed to me that towards the end the game gets too hard
Truly made me feel like i was at my great grand dads ranch catching emus and lammas. Laughed my ass of wile playing this, it was fun, looks great, the soundtrack is amazing, everything is amazing! (no Jared Harris) :( )
This is what I want out of a jam game, and my favorite so far. The character art is fire emoji and the music is a bop. The gameplay is silly fun. Great stuff.
