This is the archetypal unity game. Weird, stupid, funny, and buggy, but I dig it. My main complaint is the hit detection. They were cows who I watched the lasso go through them 10 times, but they didn't get roped. Or is it that they're supposed to take multiple hits? If so, there should be some indication. Anyways, good job, you made a very funny and decently fun game.

This was a lot of fun. I love the combination and the animation and the humourous whiplash sounds :D

Normally I wouldn't try any game that I had to download... but the Gif at the start immediately sold it and I had to try it. I spent far longer than anticipated blowing up cows. Great screen shake effect, if I had to give a criticism/suggestion - I'd give 2. I couldn't find a way to exit without [ALT]+[F4], and if you added a cowboy twang soundtrack it would be golden!

Thanks everyone for your comments, we're really happy that you enjoyed the game :)
@quinn-patrick you're right, we don't really know why, but the hit detection doesn't work sometimes... And we didn't have enough time to resolve this issue. Sorry about that, but thanks for playing, happy that you enjoyed the game anyway
@matthewdavisgames Thanks for this comment, so glad that the Gif sold you the game! Yes, a button to quit would be great and mostly a cow boy sound! Thanks for feedback

what a meme game LOL. I had fun with it for a little bit, then walked off the map for fun. the webGL build doesn't seem to handle inputs very well though.

The best art piece I've encountered in this entire jam. Good luck on your inspiring, poetic journey.

btw you can still move around when the game is paused!

WTF did I just play? Funny as hell though.

It didnt make sense. And it didnt have to. Did I enjoy it? Hell yes. Would destroy cows 10/10. things to think about ? Maybe music?(western?) maybe a high score system? and different ground would be really dope. Funny game good job guys !

Hilarious concept. Totally ridiculous in a good way. However, now that I think about it... if the cows explode, nothing is really stuck in a loop, is it :laughing: I like the simple 3d graphics and the pastel color scheme.

I encountered some bugs. Once the game stopped reacting to the mouse click and I could no longer shoot my lasso. And three times something very strange happened and my character just started walking backwards and backwards and backwards. With no input from me. Until I ended up in white nothingness. That was funny as well :grinning:
