The game's also very pleasing to the eye. The platform sequences are really very tightly timed, though, and unforgiving. That's not necessarily a bad thing, I will probably return for another go later, but I grew really rather frustrated with the 2nd level as there's virtually no margin for error. The audio seems too loud and I wasn't a huge fan of the sound effects, but they did fit in with the feel of the game."},{"author_name":"Mlle Eole","author_uid":"8751","time":"Sep 1, 2013 @ 3:06pm","epoch":1378047660,"text":"Stylish and i love the &quot;ten seconds&quot; interpretation ! \\o\/"},{"author_name":"ratalaika","author_uid":"25607","time":"Sep 1, 2013 @ 5:53pm","epoch":1378057680,"text":"Quite funny!

He brought them to his flying range land platform, where they are waiting to be rescued.\r\n\r\nEvery platform loses energy as longer as you stay on it and will fall down after 10 seconds.  So don't waste time, collect all star cows and get back to your rocket.\r\nOn the other hand each loss of energy and platforms is a damage to the evil rustler. Get better and  higher scores by getting every platform out of the sky. If you do not want to wait the 10 seconds use your special move (space bar and down) to destroy a platform instantly. But be careful not to destroy your way back.\r\n\r\nThis was our first Ludum Dare and we had a lot fun.  We used Unity and handcrafted paper assets to create the game. The music and sound effects are self-made too.\r\n\r\nWe hope you will enjoy our little game,\r\nTugba, Rebekka, B0rje, Frederic, Peer and Marlene \"Schnoetz\"  :)","title":"Cowdown"}
