Z/C: Answer the phone, grab a cow, drop a cow, clean up poop, build a gate, open a gate, plant grass
X/V: Answer the phone, pet a cow, build a fence, destroy a fence, destroy a gate
Tips
1) First and foremost, you don't always have to answer the phone! Sometimes it's better to make happy cows than get too many customers.
2) Plant lots of grass with Z/C, and don't forget to make pens for the cows so they don't run away!
3) Cows don't like being too crowded or being around too much poop, so be careful!

And then if the cows wander into the road they stop traffic!! I grew up on a dairy farm and this happened fairly regularly if the cows ever got out
Other than that, another pico-8 game for the win ! :wink: :trophy:
I did struggle a bit at times to get things placed because of not being able to turn without moving.
Well done!
(680 seconds for me btw :smile: )
Thank you for playing!
I never had a tamagotchi but I can see the connection
It's very cute and a fun premise. I like the wide variety of actions you have to do and the different things to take care of. Very hectic!
Great job!
