Butter luck next time by benbateman

[raw]
made by benbateman for LD32 (JAM)
One cow has had enough. Rush your way through to the end of the level as quickly as possible, shooting milk from your udders and spinning your tail at anything that get's in your way.

Best played with a controller.

Keyboard controls:

CTRL - Spin
Mouse Click - Shoot
Space - Jump
E - Interact

This is my first game jam, and first "delivered" game, so please forgive that it's rough round the edges. I had a huge number of issues trying to package this up, so when I've got more time I'll work towards reducing the size. It's built in UE4 so the HTML5 build is experimental (it doesn't work for me in Chrome and collision is broken)

Note: If the game fails to load, please check it's not being blocked by antivirus or smartscreen

@Ourson - Made in UE4 but not particularly complex. I think it's most likely some VSync issues or my dodgy camera code. I'd have to try another PC to find out. Anything else that you can tell me that might help is appreciated. Thanks for the feedback.

Hehe, I like the puns and the concept. Couldn't get past the second save point on the web version though, due to collision problems (platforms not registering as floor).

Weird lag issues, anything between half a second to more than ten seconds can occur between pressing a key and getting a response.

Love the theming, and funky graphics though!

I like the "meeuuuuuuh"!

Fun until I could no longer land on the platform. Was there something else I needed to do?

Doesn't run on Mozilla (error message : Assertion failed: Cannot call unknown function on_fatal (perhaps LLVM optimizations or closure removed it?))

Tried on Chrome also, and didn't worked neither

HTML5 seems to be buggy and it's beyond me, so if you're having trouble with lag or the platforms, download the windows build instead. Sorry about that; UE4 for you.

@Filoox Got my brother to record it ^_^

Fun game, nice controls. I think I found a bug. After retrying the sequence with the four destroyable platforms, I somehow managed to disallow the two final platforms to respawn.

Cheers Mathieu! Yeah, they're meant to respawn 5 seconds later, but sometimes they don't, so I'm not sure what's going on there - I'll have to check that out.

Holy cow that's crazy! Pretty fun too, I love 2d in 3d (if that makes sense)

Thanks tripleVisionGames :) I think with more time I could maybe take cues from Paper Mario to make the 2D/3D style work better.

Very buggy, fell through the floor occasionally

@Scornz Can you give me a bit more info? Which floors? The grey floors are meant to be destructible so you need to move off them quickly. Similarly damaging them with the whip/spin attack will destroy them. Any other bugs?

Love the art. It reminds me of the cow and chicken of old. Interesting visual style!

Final score -93971 :D Jumping was hard because you can't control in the air, however nice game, especially the graphics

@OadT Ha ha, nice score! Yeah, that results screen was hacked together at the last minute. I think I know what happened. Thanks for the feedback about air control, I dialled it down to be a challenge, but maybe a bit too far - I'll experiment.

Fun idea, GREAT pun in the title! The game itself is a bit generic and the controls are wonky. Was fun to play overall.
