Game description
For 15 years after leaving the army, Major Teres ran Rancho Picanha along with his bovine buddies. But in recent years the farm has fallen on hard times.
Now, the Major and his friends have a plan to help raise funds to save the herd from having to be sold off. Get ready for the show of a lifetime.
Theme interpretation
We've primarily integrated waves into the core mechanic the player matador has: waving the red flag to upset the poise of their opponent.
Beyond this we've integrated shockwaves into the behavior of some of your opponent's attacks, as well as the audience reactions to the action.

Nice game! I really like the art, music, and interesting interpretation!
I loved this game. Great job!
Congratulations, your interpretation of the wave theme has resulted in a game with a truly unique style.
really cool concept! I like the direction you went with, gameplay is solid, hard to tell when you can or can't dash sometimes but I really liked this! nice work
loved it, loved to interpretation, the graphics, the music and audio and the gameplay too! but I would say though that I found the jump from easy to normal quite stark, it seemed like there needed to be another one in between - but great job!
Excellent interpretation of the theme, and a tight little indie game loop very polished. Great job!
Loved the interpretation of the waves theme. Also loved how innovative the game design was. I actually really enjoyed playing as the bull fighter and trying to figure out when to hold up the flag to charge the bulls meter and when to try and run away. The little animations that you guys added to just about everything in the game also gives it so much charm. Great little project! The only thing that I can think of to say as constructive criticism is maybe make the text on the buttons contrast a little bit more. Some of the buttons I didn't know if they were disabled or not. That's really the only negative (if you would even call it that) thing. Great job! Love to see what you guys do in the future!
Thanks so much for playing, glad you liked it! Appreciate the feedback too, will definitely look at contrast for the next one :D
Wow incredible! Really cool interpretation of the theme waves. Sir Loin is really hard couldn't beat it but I really enjoyed it!
Awesome, glad you made it that far! Thanks for playing :)
