Cute game! The music was really nice, and it was fun to control the cow in free fall. I think one small bit that would improve the game feel would be to add a little more feedback when you pop the balloons, like a sound effect or screens shake or something. Nice job!

@michael-parrish You're right! It's my fault, I had a popping sound but it can't be heard because the music was more loud, I wanted to fix it but I had trouble submitting for an hour. Here's how it sounds https://vocaroo.com/1a4k4fMHi9cL

Hmm. Interesting. I wouldn't want to be under a falling cow, that's for sure. Btw, tried to dodge ballons in first try too :)

That’s an interesting piece! I have to admit, I didn’t quite understand that the cow was 'falling' until I read the comments. Maybe if the background gradually grew larger, it could help me understand better =)

Unique take on the theme, the floaty mechanics of "falling" were fun to move around with.

you have basically 2 timers, the timer, and the fall distance. i would remove the timer, and keep the fall distance as the game timer, since its on theme. also theres a bug if i move the cow thing out the game window it wont come back :D

It would have been cool if the planet got closer as you got closer to the ground, but nice job anyhow

Nice job! I never knew I always wanted to freefall as a cow but now I know haha

Gameplay is pretty simple, but I love the solid pastel colors, it creates an interesting vibe along with the music and crazy spinning cow.

My favourite part was when the cow roundhouse kicked a balloon that was just out of reach, 10/10

Simple and cute. Cow falling is a mood.

really liked the floaty movement and music, super chill. agree about the pop fx, a little screen shake would make it feel even better. nice work!
