Wow, I really enjoyed playing this. The graphics and mood make the game quite beautiful. I played this on the web, but I imagine this would be quite fun to play on the phone (noting the movement pads). I wish there had been an end condition in this build... I played for about 10-15 mins and I noticed that encounters kept repeating. This game seems to have a lot of potential for mobile devices!

Great job!

Very pretty. The enemies take a long time to kill though.. and the controls are a bit awkward for the pc. Might be really fun on IOS or android though.

I loved zapping people. I wish I could click to shoot the laser, instead of the right thumbstick, but I could see you were aiming for mobile.
Great work!

Tough to play with a mouse. =) But the game looks great, and runs really smoothly on Chrome in OS X.

graphics is top notch, the control is a bit hard, also the shooters shouldn't be called enemies, you should call them something like "good guys"

really nicely polished game; I love the graphics, though trying to play it with a mouse is a bit of a pain (I bet it's a lot better on a touch device)

Nice graphics, the controls are a bit hard but you're aiming for mobile and this is a plus. :)

The 3d models are really well done, best I have seen yet! It has its own style, unique and nice colors. The mechanic for the laser is great. Sound effects could use some work. Over all, good job :)!

Loved the models and the sound bullets make against the hull of my ship. Fun little game.

Impressive!
Had some trouble first steering the laser with mouse but it was OK after getting used to it.
Cool rockets!

You should really finish it for tablets but playing it in browser was hard

Cownapping seems to be a pretty popular topic!

Nice graphics! I wish there was a way to dodge the gun-shooting enemies. As is it just seems to turn into a "take hits until it's too risky, go get some cows, come back and finish the job" pattern that takes a bit too little skill. That said, the missiles are fun to dodge!

My only complaint is that the game could be a little more friendly to those playing with the mouse...

Other than that, good game!

Poor cows! I like the simple 3D graphics, very cute. Would love to play this on mobile!

Nice graphics, but I can't find a way to dodge the bullets. Totally a mobile-game.
