Easy to pick up game, well done! Agree with some others that being able to use the keyboard/arrow keys for rotating the view would be nice. That way it doesn't feel like so many mouse inputs. Could be fun to add in some distant moos when they are being taken away by the aliens haha
Good work, I had fun!
Cool interpretation of the theme! I saw someone else suggest adding anchor points, and I think that's a great idea. I also think allowing rotation with the keyboard could work well, since the sensitivity feels a bit too high right now. With a bit more polish, this could be an amazing game. Great job!
Thank you! I'll I'll add a sensitivity slider or some anchor points.
Uh i have seen that one on discord :3
Would love the addition of some anchor points to fixate on while spinning the world.. like a barn or different kinds of grass. Great submission nonetheless. Very cool game, love the idea.!
that’s a really great suggestion, thank you! I’ll have to do that when the jam is over.
It’s a great game! I really liked the mechanic of rotating the view to check other areas. (I also appreciate that there are boss fights.) I managed to beat it! (Though I only had 9 cows left.)
Pretty cool that you used RayLib - haven't seen any games in this jam built with just a library.
The game was fun!
Thanks, it was a pretty difficult challenge lol.
Cool interpretation of the theme, i wish there was some option to change the sensitivity or rotate around using some other key as I feel that the default rotation speed is a bit too fast for me
yoooo, i've done the error to focus him, then they caught all my caws, yoo, your game so cool and pretty intense, i like that, it's the type of game i like to play to, the idea is simple but pretty original, can u test mine ?
Simple but effective! The art style is cool, and I love that there are various flying saucer types! And the rhythm is great, too! Well done!
Thank you
Major kudos for making this in C++! Love the cows, they look very Harvest Moon.
Haha thanks
You made this in C++?? You got my respect, I wouldn't do this to myself
This game is so so simple but so so fun,if you polish this it can become a really really fun game I would pay for!
Thanks! I'll definitely think about adding some more things after the jam.
Fun! it did get much harder very quickly which i enjoyed a lot and it brought out my competitive side. I enjoyed the addition of the boss ship too and the music was quite fitting for the game :)
Haha nice job! Thanks for the kind words.
Wow, very interesting that you don’t use any engine and gameplay is good! easy to play :)
Exciting to see more low-level devs here! This is a very cute game, and easy to pick up. One thing I would suggest is having some sort of auditory feedback about incoming aliens, in addition to the little indicators on the sides of the screen (if it were me, I would have one sound to indicate an incoming alien, and then another droning sound that gets louder as you get closer to them, as a way to help people gauge how quickly they should be spinning while the alien is still offscreen).
All-in-all, though, this was a fun little game and a nice jam entry. Kudos! I had fun playing to the end. I made it, but unfortunately only 7 of my cows survived :\
Yeah I'd love to add some cow noises to alert the player that the cows are being taken and maybe a little text box that says "Moo!" after the jam ends. Thanks for the suggestions!
I love the global implications of rotating the whole earth to protect some cows !
Awesome game😀The good old idea of aliens taking cows, and you need to save them and spin to win is genius and so much fun, even though I lost. Keep up the great work. Have a great day😁
