This is a really cool and well-polished game! I found it a little too difficult, I had to remember a lot between runs, but I can see some players loving that challenge. I wouldve loved to have seen some "empty" tiles so that i could make some extra progression without a constant worry. But nontheless a great game, well done!

How does the game fit the theme?
This is a game about the Moo risking everything when climbing for the biscuits.

Cool little game! Very nice visuals and sound, overall execution level is very high!
The visuals are incredible, and the animations add a really special touch!
The gameplay is fun and shows a lot of potential! It already feels nice and complete.
Congrats on creating it all by yourself!
by 1 person, BY 1 PERSON
ofc i didn't complete the whole game cause I ain't that pro, i did reach 60 stairs i think, anyways 10/10 SFX and animations
Super well polished, loved the vibe, loved the art, loved the idea. Got a little frustrated with the memory mechanic of it all because that's not the stuff I usually play, but I feel like this is a tweak away from being super excellent. You could design many levels and release this as is. Great job!
Such a cool game. The assets are amazing and so are the sound effects. Well done.
That is so good! The art style is so cute! Well done i've never played a game like that before really fun :)
Reminds me of the chick fil a signs lol. Definitely a chill, enjoyable game!
This is my favorite game yet! It was so fun and I beat it. I love the art too! Great job!
Very coherent style for a jam game, and cute choice of colour palette. The gameplay is simple and a little frustrating at times, but the visuals totally make up for it.
Really well done! I was quite frustrated that when you restart you have to climb back up to the checkpoints. It feels like you should start from your highest checkpoint. The visuals are incredibly well done and the sound effects are very pleasant! It's a lovely game :)
Thanks a lot for your comment and for the kind words about my game!) I totally agree with you, the checkpoint idea needs more work. My idea is that the more you risk the more predictable the stairs become, and it gets easier to climb up) The goal is not to beat it on the first try but to reveal as many tiles as possible)
Wow!!! Best game so far. Excellent graphics, sound, gameplay .. I love the concept and idea but i think like a different approach. I love the save points. I think this can become a commercial game if further developed. Very crisp, Very engaging and immersive. I love the easy jumping, so one can focus more on gameplay instead of jumping correctly to platforms that can get frustrating. Love it!!! Great Work!!!! Love the cows .. love it all. Check out my Save the Cows on my page :) As a fully developed game, I would buy this for my kids definitely.
Wow, thanks so much for your comment and for your time! I’m really glad you appreciated the jump mechanic, that’s exactly what I wanted, so the player doesn’t get distracted by controls) I agree with you, the checkpoint system definitely needs some polishing and I think after the jam I’ll finally have time to work on that. I’ll be sure to check out your game, the title already intrigued me) Thanks again for playing!
I really love the visuals right here. They remind me of those low-poly 3D indie games that I see either on Steam or Nintendo Switch, and I love the gameplay and risking part, because you have to memorize where the orange spikes are and where the checkpoints, hearts, and safe spaces are. It also plays a bit similarly to my entry, Owlet and the Biscuit Tower, except in my entry, you're scaling a tower made out of biscuits, and restart at the bottom of the tower whenever Owlet dies, while this game is about a cow climbing up steps and descending if he loses all of its lives. A++. A fantastic game jam entry right here.
I love the sphere cows! and one question. Can you hop around checkpoints or do you just know where they are? (Sorry if you already answer that in the description).
Thanks a lot for your time and the question) The сheckpoint works like this: you need to step on the checkpoint tile so the game remembers your spot in case you step on a bomb later. I agree it’s not super obvious and needs some polishing. I just didn’t have time to fix it yet) Thanks again for playing!
