Well it works... What was your original concept and why did you have to abandon it?
Getting up that building-type thing with the enemies getting down it was ridiculously difficult for me. I made it to the boss twice but couldn't stop the invasion in the end.
Cool concept, and the animations are hilarious. It took me a while to figure out how to move my cows and what does what.
Great text adventure! Its very funny.
As for the source, shouldn't you be able to put it up on a github repo?
Fails on launch for me. Windows 7 64 bit. Yes I extracted the exe. I even tried installing mono to see if that was the problem. Error from the event log:

Looks and sounds beautiful! Very good work.
Sometimes I would need to hold down the keys longer for it to register, so it was hard to get into a rhythm.
Good game, but very hard! The shooting and collecting were fun. The music and sound are great. I tried three times and got to the evolution where you turn into a redcoat. Unfortunately I was unable to beat it, because I really want to see how far it goes.
Some things I didn't realize right away:
- You can hold down the fire button
- You can hide in your house at night
Some negatives:
- No pause
- It's tough to check how much you need to evolve because you have to mouseover, which is difficult in battle
- Evolve didn't seem to work by pressing 'E', I had to click it with the mouse.
The sprites and the music were good and it is a fun concept. As everyone else has said the level design was confusing, but not having any way to regain health killed it for me. I managed to evolve to jump a couple times but I would only have one heart left by that point.
