A very funny little game. The visuals is really good, and the game idea is really fun. The sounds is pretty good, but the volume level is high. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

A very funny little game. The visuals is really good, and the game idea is really fun. The sounds is pretty good, but the volume level is high. Overall a good jam game. Well done.
I liked the concept a lot. The volume was really high, I had to drop my computer volume to 2% while playing. I think the ship was a bit slow especially since you have to go all the way back up each time. Also the screen should scroll a lot earlier.
I think I'll change the volume levels and re-upload. I already made one small post-compo change when I realised I couldn't include libnoise in the windows build without re-booting into Windows or cross-compilation, so I added a fallback in pure Python. I think that one was well within the rules, and so is lowering the volume of everything if it hurts people's ears.
By the way, if you're on a Mac or on Linux, you can just use a recent Python3 and then install the latest `noise` and `pygame` from PyPi via pip, delete the `lib/` folder with the windows binaries, and run the game from the source code. The Windows stuff is just there to make it easier to play without installing anything.
you should add some inertia at the ufo to make the game more believable :o) Very funny but what happens to the cows after they are kidnapped ?
The game was pretty funny, I like the sound effects and the art was great! A few critiques for things, i found the missile launcher would hit me off the screen when the ship was transitioning between the sides, and I think the stun was a bit too long though that wasn't too much of an issue. The volume was high but you've addressed that already and lastly like others have said the ship was a bit slow especially when going side to side making it really difficult to avoid shots sometimes. Overall though you did a great job!
This was a fun entry. I liked the juggling mechanic of beaming the cows. I found the defenses to be a bit strong but tuning is always the hardest part in a jam :sweat_smile: The procedural cows is a nice touch! Keep on making games
It wasn't clear for me what should I be doing with the cows at the beginning. Especially given how big is the distance between upper bound of the level (where you needto bring the cow) and the floor.
Otherwise, all good, nice entry :)
Wasn't sure what to do at first and then I read some comments. I liked how the idea of dragging the cows with the beam, however I think the ship could move a little faster.
The graphics and sound effects are very pleasant, I like the different colors of the cows, but the sound is a little loud, I do not know where the gun that does more damage is shot from, if there is a warning sign would be good. I'm looking forward to the subsequent updates!
Updated the windows build, added a linux build that will run on recent Ubuntu. Only change was volume and some path things to make the Linux build work.
A nice game with its own atmosphere!
The procedural patterns for the cows are quite cool!
I would have prefer a shorter trip to deliver the cows, I constantly fail to avoid the missiles x)
Oh my lord that was quite difficult :sweat_smile: Those last two cows were quite tricky! Even though it's quite a simple game, I felt like I was improving quite a lot over my couple of playthroughs - learning how to manoeuvre the cows and dodge the weapons with a very slow UFO was fun! I also liked that you managed to get some simple sound effects in (great moos), and the generated cows look good! Nice one!
huh i was expecting this to be low pace cow game but the juggling mechanic was quite fun.
I didn't realize I needed to bring the cows off the top of the level at first, but once I figured that out it was decently fun! The tractor beam physics were neat, and the pixel graphics were good. I felt the UFO moved a little slowly (especially left to right) which made dodging the fast missile things very hard.
Wow, almost made it but the last cow gave me lots of trouble and in the end I got shot down. I liked the minimalist graphics and arcady feel to it but maneuvering was waaay to slow and the "ceiling" for the cows to count was way too high. I would have enjoyed a snappier experience personally but that's just me. Great job! :)
Pretty cool game! Only issue I got is I wanted to move lots of cows at a time and it felt a little odd you could only get one at a time given the size of the rings. Im not sure if thats intended but I think it would be much more hilarious if you could launch multiple cows around at a time if you take the effort to bunch them up. Regardless, liked the graphics, and your sound effects, nice game!
