This is my entry for LD43. Please play using the Windows version for the best experience. If playing in browser, make sure to not click out of the window.

Left click - launch Peasants

Right click - launch Cows

Tips:

Peasants are shot in pieces which means a larger area of affect.

The fewer peasants you have, the slower you will reload.

Cows are not as effective against small goblins, but they are the only things which can defeat the large goblins.

Cows cost 2 food, but they also generate 0.5 food per day.

Peasants cost 0.5 food, but are bought in pairs.

I loved it, even after I had infinity cow.

Nice defense game! I liked the idea and the fun art style! :smiley:
I liked most the difficult, quite well balanced!
Just missed some sound effects, would be nice hearing the cows making weird noise during the flight! :sweat_smile:

I like the feeling of throwing cows and peasants! Good job. Sound effects and some chill music would have been nice.

Throwing peasants was grimly satisfying. I liked how you could learn to be efficient with the cows by bouncing them off multiple big guys.

Overall a fun little game!

had to play the web version (Linux OS)
didn't get any audio and there seemed to be some missing text on the between days menu.
interesting mix of tower defense + resource planning.

Really interesting "wall defense" game. I was a little confused because you are shooting stones in the first round but in the second i got the promissed peasants and cows :laughing:

Was really easy until level 6 but then i got overrun really fast o.O

Anyway, I liked the game. Good job.

When I saw flying people and cow I was in deep astonishment :)

Interesting game. Pretty intuitive and unique. I wasn't able to figure out how it fit with the theme though. Creative use of gameplay mechanics though.

The game was fun to play. I would enjoy the sound effects but in the time we had.. Nice Job! :)

Nice little game, really intuitive and fun. With a background music, it would make it even greater.

Only down side would be the difference of difficulty passed a certain leve: the game goes from easy to really hard so maybe making one or two intermdiate level would smooth the transition.

Great job overall

Fun little game! I agree that a few little FX are begging to be put in. I also agree with Vivien that the hardness goes up quite dramatically. Well done!
