I love how this turned out. Saw plenty of WIPs as the jam was going. Your art style is beautiful, and the sounds of the dogies getting roped was just a chef's kiss. Bit hard to get them in the stable, but if it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be honest work *spits and looks at clouds* Thanks for sharing! :D
I love the idea of this game, the visuals and music are also amazing. I agree that the lasso mechanic is really cool!
This art style is absolutely gorgeous!!! Almost makes up for the fact that the cows kept running into the cacti by themselves when I wasn't even near 🤭 Even so, lovely concept and execution!
That lasso mechanic is really great! The physics create funny situations, nice game :D Also the art, damn
I struggled to get the cows into the first barn in the beginning but then I realized that my best strategy would be to use the momentum of them to fling them around my body and yeet them into the barn. That was when it got really fun. Also the art for this is amazing. great job!
Honestly the music just makes me... Oof. Love the music. Drove me into it. Found myself trying to wrangle as many cows all at the same time haha... Couldn't get more than 3 tho!
Pretty fun game! I did kill quite a few cows in the end though, oops.
Also, I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the night, so thanks for that :P
At first I was like "Oh the art is so cute" DON'T BE FOOLED the gameplay is EVEN BETTER.
Incredible what you've made in so little time ! The rope mecanic is insaaaanely good, it puts triple A to shame !
PS : Shame on you though for making me feel bad for that cow that got killed by a cactus ... :'(
Really good art and music, I love the animations for the characters and the cows : it's minimalistic but it does perfectly the job. Also the concept is great, but I think it really gets interesting on level 3. Level 1 and 2 could have been shorter because they are great at showing how the game works, but they are not really challenging. But overall, that's a solid proposition.
I had a very hard time getting the hang of the lasso at first, but I was eventually able to swing those critters into the barn pretty well! Good work and some great art to go with it.
The artwork is absolutely full of life and the audio is great
good use of limited animation! cows are super cute and they kept killing themselves. made it through all 3 levels though! also i enjoy the controller support! wish you extended it to menus too. nice one, well done!
hey great game! Did you by any chance do DAE? cuss I saw your from belgium and more specifically Kortrijk. Srry for stalking you :)
I did! although I haven't been in Kortrijk in a hot minute. I graduated in 2020 and am living in Ghent now.
Awesome! I just finished my second year now. Always cool to see some other people from dae making games :)
The art and music is top notch, pardner! Swinging those darn tootin cows into their barn was super satisfying.
Just finished it. I really like it. I think the the game is easy to grasp, and requires some skill to get the cows into the barn. Speaking of catching cows, the lasso felt good, and moving lassoed cows felt hefty like it required momentum (I loved it)
The cacti were also a nice touch and added to the challenge.
The art really cute, and super readable. The sound effects and music were similarly fantastic.
My only feedback applies if you choose to update after the jam, but I think giving the player some range so they can choose how far out to throw the lasso might be a cool idea.
Anyway, had good fun, really cool core mechanic, excellent work.
That's a relly nice and funny game! The way you've done the mechanic is super simple and player friendly for somehting done in such a short period! Really laughed on the animations, the way you throw bulls, dash or even move - that was fun. Also music and SFX choice is really fitting to the game!
I love the little sounds the cowboy makes. Great Audio. The coregameplay is okay, but somehow I had more fun with unintended physics interactions (like yanking a cow at supersonic speed after dashing)
Great job, I loved how to damage mechanic forced me to be strategic with how I approached the cows. It was neat that I could lasso the tumbleweeds to try and make the path a little safer, although most of the time I just ended up accidentally creating cow-killing rockets. Looks and sounds great too, the aesthetic is really creative and cohesive.
Love a spaghetti western haha! It was pretty tough to get each bull into the actual barn since I couldn't move through it. And the cows are very cute!
Wow this one is really cool, I love the hand-drawn art style and it's a shame it doesn't have more ratings. I liked the mechanic of pushing them into a corner to nab a ton at once. Everything feels great and is very polished
