Old MacDonald vs Zombies by rogueNoodle
*** BUG NOTICE ***
For some reason, sometimes zombies won't appear at the start of a game - if nothing starts popping out of the ground when you're playing, please reload the page. Sorry about that!
********************
Old MacDonald had a farm. And on that farm he had a cow. Also, zombies.
Help Old MacDonald keep his cow happy by cleaning up after her, and in return, she'll be his best friend AND best defense against the growing zombie horde.
It's a story about friendship, cooperation and mutual respect. Also, zombies.
--------------------
HOW TO PLAY
--------------------
- You are Old MacDonald: move around the field using the ARROW KEYS
- While avoiding zombies, CLEAN UP after your cow. This will make her happy (you'll see a HEART over her head)
- When she's happy, whistle using the SPACEBAR and she'll run across the field to meet you, mowing down any zombies in her path
- And of course, score a lot of points
--------------------
If the music gets a little grating, you can toggle it on and off with the 'M'. The same can be done for the sound fx using the 'S' key.
Hoping to upload some downloadable builds (including a completely untested Linux version) in the near future (most likely over the weekend).

Can't imagine how that field must've smelled with the sweet combo of rotting corpses and cow patties...ugh.
Really awesome :)
It feels like a hardcore version of Frogger because the zombies move only from left to right :D
The game play is pretty nice too!
This was a good experience overall !

The artwork is pretty impressive for a jam, and I really like the mechanics.
I think the combo and scoring system could be a little clearer, but that didn't keep from playing a good 9 or 10 rounds.
It would do wonders with some other zombie types, maybe different interactions for the cow? Dunno, but I'd like to see this idea expanded further.
All my stars are belong to you.
Music fitted really nicely with the game and very challenging when I had too many zombies on screen. Well done and good job :D
A very enjoyable game, nice job! :D
