Comments
theme: it's a nice idea, stealing the kids and running from the mom, fits the theme well.
polish: it's simple yet well polished, no bugs, good sound effects, smooth gameplay.
art: it might not be the best, but its simple hand-drawn design is really cute, especially the cows.
concept: While shooting to platform is not new, running away from the mother cow afterward was a really good touch and added a speedrunning aspect to it
enjoyment: I love platformers and this game did it well, it was smooth, the speedrunning was fun, trying to memorize the level to know what is the fasting way to return, very good
Fun game! Mechanics are a bit hard for me but I enjoyed the game! Nice art too!
Very fun! The levels you created are great, and the difficulty is very well balanced!
My favorite one so far! I love everything about the game. The theme is there, the concept is strong, I myself love speedrun games so I can tell you that this one is really great, I got hooked right away! The mechanics are also on point, you got everything in my opinion :) Well done!
This is a very interesting concept, for such a short time you made a satisfying mechanic and with enough polish I see a big potential. Well done!
This was my failing because im an old enough GenX that i'm almost a boomer/
Let me spoiler:
1) this is very much about reverse gun recoil. you high jump shooting downward.
2) this is very much about Return to Base after you get the cows. The cows are the halfway point, the pursuit by the mom cow is the 2nd half.
And after my slow mind figured this out THEN this is a super game A+++
My issue not the makers issue.
Gave it high marks, and all the people on the team an itch follow. If you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.
Cheers!
