Good entry...hard but fun

ex3d0 2022-10-03 03:14

Very difficult but super fun

muzakefron 2022-10-03 14:30

literally a banger... GREAT JOB KORY!!!!!

makar-ss 2022-10-03 20:04

Very cool and funny game, I like the art and sound design. Thank you, good job

tobias-froihofer 2022-10-03 20:09

Awesome entry, would be nice to have some dialogues on the phone in the future :D

kory 2022-10-03 20:13

@tobias-froihofer Oh yeah good idea! I was just thinking about that this morning actually, it would be cool to have a little dialogue there, and also have some cars driving by on the road

And then if the cows wander into the road they stop traffic!! I grew up on a dairy farm and this happened fairly regularly if the cows ever got out

Really charming art style and the UI made it easy to keep track of resources. Also enjoyed the music a lot

Wonderful game! I was able to retire. Wish it was so easy in real life. Sigh. One thing I noticed is that I didn't really have to plant grass or make fences. I kinda haphazardly placed these down. Mostly because I kept getting the buttons mixed up so I'd place grass when I mean to place a fence. I blame Pico 8 for its button icon choices.

I wish I only needed $500 to retire! I liked the concept, although it was a bit difficult to get a grasp on for me. I think I kept mixing up the buttons. The game's style was charming and enjoyable. Nice work on this one!

Very nice game, auto layout for the fences are great, but a small nitpick about the controls: when changing direction, one should not move. It makes the layout of fences very complex as you have a lot of back and forth.

Other than that, another pico-8 game for the win ! :wink: :trophy:

Great little game given the Pico-8 restrictions. The game is fun and the music is great.

I did struggle a bit at times to get things placed because of not being able to turn without moving.

Well done!

(680 seconds for me btw :smile: )

pierce-brooks 2022-10-04 18:21

gloriously well done, as always sir!

kory 2022-10-04 18:38

@yskuma I added you to the leaderboard, thanks for playing all the way through!

kory 2022-10-04 18:44

@thesnide yes, the controls for movement are definitely finicky, I'm not sure how I feel about them. I tried your suggestion, but the whole game feels very sluggish this way unfortunately, so I'll keep the same version up as anything other than a quick fix I wouldn't feel good about updating

Thank you for playing!

kory 2022-10-04 18:45

@khaotom @diego-escalante Thanks for playing! I agree, I even mixed up the buttons a lot during development. There is a lot going on in this little game! Thanks for playing :)

oatsbarley 2022-10-04 19:04

Really nice little Pico-8 game. Some hazards could really make it more challenging, like a wolf or something that you need to keep away from the cows.

kory 2022-10-04 19:09

@oatsbarley thanks for playing! I actually had the idea of a wolf that ran around during development, but didn't quite have time to get it in.

verbante 2022-10-04 20:35

very fast paced. I'll never do this job in real life. I had fun lol

johnnysix 2022-10-04 21:07

Reminded me of tamagotchi , but in colour, and with cows.

kory 2022-10-04 23:28

@verbante @johnnysix thank you for playing!! I'm glad you enjoyed it

I never had a tamagotchi but I can see the connection

merlinperlin 2022-10-04 23:53

its really cool how you managed it, that it was so obvious what youhad to do, was into it really fast :P

cassowary 2022-10-05 04:58

The 10 second loop makes this really hard, haha. My cows ended up escaping ;-;

It's very cute and a fun premise. I like the wide variety of actions you have to do and the different things to take care of. Very hectic!

chitoyuu 2022-10-05 07:00

Phone calls are stressful but you can pet the cows!

holyperson 2022-10-05 07:43

Really cute game i loved it :D

substain 2022-10-05 09:05

wow, pretty stressful but its a nice idea :)

kory 2022-10-05 12:29

@chitoyuu Yesss petting the cows is my favorite part I wish Lorelei had more time to do it

wizcas 2022-10-05 16:41

874 seconds LOL. I got so busy in this game that my fingers still hurt :joy: The game is very fun and well made. The music is addctive. AND THERE ARE SO MANY POOPS! Oh my. I love the farm building part most, but I wish I could own the cows for longer time so that I can build a large farm and saw them running around.

Great job!

kory 2022-10-05 18:01

@wizcas Thanks! If I work on this more I definitely want a bit slower paced to see the daycare grow over time, good idea :)

bangkerpow 2022-10-07 13:56

Much more complex than I originally thought and it got stressful and gross very quickly. Good job

tetrapteryx 2022-10-08 19:49

These cows poop a lot! This is super cute, I loved that all the cows had different patterns. I liked to imagine they all had little colorful jackets on. Having to move to turn made assembling a fence SO complicated, though!

kory 2022-10-08 20:00

@tetrapteryx Thanks for playing! Yeah I agree, I wish I could have spent some more time to workshop the controls better

erlioniel 2022-10-09 08:26

I would agree with some other people - it's way more complex if you are not in mechanic. Plus pointing out the right tile is quite hard to do. Initially I didn't even understand what to do. But overall a good entry and additional point for using Pico-8

loveapplegames 2022-10-09 13:25

This looks complex and intriguing, however I couldn't find out everything I needed to do. Apparently at some point I have to give a cow to a customer but I couldn't get it done. It would help to write more instructions.

kory 2022-10-10 01:08

@erlioniel @loveapplegames Thanks for the feedback! I agree, the game is pretty complex and a bit hard to understand at first.
