This game should be in the top 10 . Good job !
This was an incredibly cute game with beautiful art! I also liked how you gave all the animals personality, with the chickens being skittish, the goats being jerks (both literally and figuratively!) and the cows just not caring whatsoever, haha. I did find it a bit difficult, as your movement is so incredibly zippy, and the red bar placement sometimes felt a bit awkward to reference because I was very much looking elsewhere in order to draw the loop.
Also, I don't know if the problem was on my end because I see you have audio assets credited, but I don't think my game had sound?
Hi, thx for the feedback.
The lasso turnes red when you're supposed to hit spacebar, that way you don't have to look at the bar all the time. The bar is more to help you figure out if you were early or late. (But i guess we didn't really write that anywhere so i see how you'd miss it :)
The game should definitely have sound, maybe try full screen if you didn't.. I dont know what else would cause the silence :}
Ah, thanks for the tips! And many apologies about the sound - it turns out my headphones had stealth turned itself off, so it definitely wasn't a problem on your end!
This was super fun, managed to get a score of 88, is there an ending if you catch all of the animals? or do they spawn forever? Also I think that the sound of you missing a shot, and the sound of making a loop too big should be slightly different, that way I know when I'm snapping my lasso.
The animals do not spawn, but nothing special happens if you catch them all (other than you getting infinite bragging rights) :}
Thank you for the sound advice, i didn't really draw my lasso too big that often so i thought it didn't really matter, but i guess thats cause i knew exactly how big i can make it :3 I also didn't have a spare sound lying around so i reused the same one hehe
This is insanely fun! One quick question how much time do you get from each animal I noticed you gain some but I don't know how much and does it have anything do do with how many points you get from them?
Ye. If i recall correctly it goes: Chicken = 1 second and 1 pont; Goat = 3 seconds and 3 points; Cow = 10 seconds and 5 points.
Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.
Such a delightful whirlwind of cuteness! Chasing those skittish chickens kept me on my toes, and hitting 61 feels like a personal victory 😂. The art and animations are top-notch—can’t wait to see what tweaks you make next!
Super creative and and insanely cute art style, it was definitely worth the time you put into it! It's quite hard, especially since you waste a lot of time with the chickens. I'm quite happy with my high score of 61 :D I think I would prefer if the chickens only ran away when you startle them, instead of always running around :)
Great job!
Haha very cute. I kind of wish I didn't have to do the spacebar thing and I could just run around catching chickens. I was so bad at the timing that my highest score was 3. But man, a cat riding a chicken, lassoing chickens and a herding dog pushing you around, that's just crazy fun!
The gameplay and general feel of the game are very good. As other pointed out, I found it a bit difficult too.
The animals are really cute, I love the crazyness of playing a cat on a chicken with a lasso!
The game lives up to it’s name and I love that you can push the cows. Also impressive craftmanship. The real live aspect gives it its je ne sais quoi.
This game showed how poor my mouse control skill :D
Feels too fast to me
Great work with the arts and overall!
Thank you so much!
Very nice :) Rated!
5 Stars :P
Very appreciated, I also loved your game <3
All 5 stars! This is such a creative use of the theme, and so fun to play!! Once I got the hang of it I caught so many haha! Look at my army! lol
My only criticism would be that it abruptly ends when the timer runs out, rather than showing me my score or how many I caught, would have been nice to see. Maybe a time constraint though.
Anyway, fantastic submission :)
That is a sizable army! How did you get so many without the timer running out?
Yes sadly time constraints made us cut several features.
