I like the cow. I especially like how the cow gets stuck on the corn pile. :)

Great and Fun game! Harvesting corn is fun. The only thing is I'd like the cannon to move faster, but if its a design choice for it to move slow then its great. Props for making it so that you can knock down the trees :D

As French player, using WASQ without rebinding is a pain ! Too bad, your game is awesome, espcially cows 🤣

It felt like some sort of meta game of find the secret ending. And it was fun! I like the way you presented cannon balls and collected corn not only in UI, but also in the game world. Great albino cow, or whatever it is. Cute companion and an annoying moving target. :)

Nice choice of the visual style. Did you use some asset for cell shading? If so, please, share the link. :)

As for gameplay, I think, the most interesting part was testing the limits of the game. Forget the harvesting, I want to shoot the window in the barn, send fences flying and shoot through the floor (don't do it, softlocks the game)!

Here's my playthrough for you to enjoy. Spoiler alert: I believe, I've found a secret ending (it was hilarious). https://youtu.be/ojfJse9VGvM

Interesting method of harvesting xD Funny game ^^

I enjoyed this one! Scored a solid 295 ears of corn. The art style really worked with the vibe and while I think a few added sound effects for when the cannon balls and corn fall would be fun, still really fun.

Had lots of fun playing it! The controls were simple to grasp, the movement felt smooth, and blowing up the cow caught me off guard. It'd be interesting to be able to get corn that the actual cannon-ball passes through as well, as opposed to just the exploded ones.

Enjoyed seeing a mountain of corn gradually building up next to the cannon. It was also fun to try and get the fences to fly as far as possible. I was half expecting to be able to shoot corn out of the cannon in the end.

I do want to mention that I only realized that you could lower and raise the canon after watching @yngvarr's video (thanks for sharing btw! Was fun to watch :). I thought the spacebar was the only way you could regulate how far the ball flew.

Yes, I did try shooting the building to see how far I could send it.

This was pretty fun. I enjoyed harvesting all the corn.

the cannon is very nicely done. I love the outline.

Nice work! :)

Good thing my face is indestructable

Nice little time waster, implemented mechanics works well.

Simple concept but executed well. I think the cornstack definitely made shooting the corn satisfying. Perhaps and obstacle in the cornfield would have made the gameplay more interesting, like cows moving back and forth you'd want to avoid.

Good job on the overall execution! Got a score of 214.

Nice game. I scored 298 corn. The fact everything reacted to the cannon balls, not just the corn was a nice touch.

This is great. Loved all of it. My kids love the cows dying to the cannonballs. 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 10/10 would play again. hahahaha

Omg this was so silly! Loved shooting the barn and myself 😅 Loved it! here's the link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnWqmLOzSps

What a silly little game, I gave it 3 tries and this is the best score I got:

The chill music works nicely with the general stress free atmosphere of the game. I with there was a little sound for charging the cannon and a sound for the corn plopping down. All in all, a solid entry. Well done!

EDIT: I also found out that my face is indestructable, so that's neat!

amastryukov 2023-01-26 23:34

I got 292 as my highest score.

Overall, a great entry - fun, engaging and pretty unique for the theme. The controls were probably the weakest point. I wasn't fond of having to use S and W to orientate the cannon. I think mouse controls would have worked nicely here. Other than that it was pretty fun to play!

Such a *moo*-d. Leaderboard was a great touch! (248) Great attention to detail and mechanics!
