About Cow Heist

Robot-Alien beings have arrived on Earth and are committing theft of cows, transporting the stolen livestock back to their home planet. However, the journey is full of obstacles, and you must dodge asteroids and use a cannon to fight them off while keeping the cow safe.

Use your quick reflexes and strategic thinking to navigate through space and make it to your destination. But be careful not to use up all your cannon ammo! It's up to you to ensure that the cow stays safe and your mission is successful.

Main target is to deliver the cow to the planet.

Cool art! I like the cutscene at the start. Pity there was no audio as it would have helped with the vibe. It was pretty hard to dodge asteroids without losing the cow. Actually that cover image reminds me of that movie NOPE haha. Nice job!

Funny concept! I loved the cutscene. The game is a bit difficult when not playing in full screen, but plays fine besides that.

I was playing the web build and had a very hard time with it- I might just be bad. But I either drop the cow, or hit a comet pretty consistently. But the art is really really nice!

The art style is nice and everything is pretty. I missed some sound effects or music. The gameplay was fine although I had a hard time with dodging and shooting stuff. It seemed not all shots are registered and the energy bar stayed on half but I couldn't shoot for some reason. The cow transporting mechanic was really clever I liked it a lot. Overall it's a decent entry. Good job!

Graphically I found the game perfect end very creative went well with the theme, if colliding with the invisible walls of the scenery causes GameOver then I think they need to be visible since the Ship is very big and we don't have much space to dodge the asteroids in the scene, the control of the ship is great, so decreasing the size of the ship with the cow so that we have more movement space and visually delimiting the scenario informing that we cannot collide with the edges would make this game even better.

The artstyle ingame and in the cutscene is fantastic, especially the cow just looks nice ^^ . I also love the simple but beautiful UI, which is self-explanatory like with the energy bar.

The hitboxes in this game were frustrating, i kept failing even tho i was miles away from the rocks. The delay in the shooting was also adding to the overall frustration. However, i still played a dozen or so rounds. The art is very good and made me want to keep playing

Really polished art and really nice interface. I think the game would benefit with having the camera zoomed out a bit more so the player can better anticipate what's coming at them and evade/shoot. Also the collision boxes seemed like they may have been overly big. Great entry though!

Необычная механика. Редко такой тип геймплея встречал. Геймдизайнер хорошо постарался. Графика красивая. Мне понравилась заставка, хорошо нарисованна и ясна суть доставки и весь сюжет игры.

отличная графика, хорошее звуковое сопровождение! Мне понравилось почти все. Проблема только в том, что я все время врезаюсь. НЕ смогла продержаться на уровне больше нескольких секунд)) Можно пожалуйста сделать уровень полегче для косяков вроде меня?))

Hi! First almost a side note, you might want to slightly rephrase your game presentation, it took me a few tries to understand if I was playing the alien or the people on earth before launching the game.

On a technical standpoint, opening the rules trigger an error and the hitboxes feel very punitive at times so I had a hard time getting points (but I'll admit I'm not very good at it).

I liked the theme and the cartoon intro! Congratulations

Super cool theme!! I love the art and the opening cutscene. Very pretty!

The controls were easy to understand as well. However, I keep dying / having to restart the game even when not colliding with asteroids while still having the cow firmly in the safe zone.

Also if I click the tutorial button in the main menu, I get an error and then get stuck in the menu and have to refresh the page. I am using the latest version of Firefox.

Anyway, super well done! Lovely idea.

Nice concept and I like the art. It feel really hard to progress. Maybe allow some hits before you instantly die?

Игра просто супер. Я почувствовал эту сложность. Учитывая, что игра короткая, в ней всего одна жизнь, так что оно играется хорошо. Интересно еще то, что когда ты стреляешь, проджектайл не сразу летит, что добавляет интереса в геймплей. Арт красивый, музыка сочетается. Все классно!

It really takes my breath away when I go play this game. I like that in addition to having to fight off rocks in space you need to keep the cow inside the UFO beam. It feels good and it encourages me to go further this game! Art looks very cool and the music fits the atmosphere of the game. You are great fellows!

Интересная тема и концепция, странно рандомятся астероиды, но играть приятно

Очень красивая графика! Особенна та, что в аркадной части - всякие метеоры, тарелка, робот внутри - выглядит крайне красивенько и залипательно <З Мне так же нравится кат-сцена, тоже.

Играть довольно сложно, чувство, что тарелка стреляет с очень большим замедлением, что немного подпорчивает ощущения - с тем, насколько быстро и часто метеориты летят в твою сторону, чуть более быстрая отдача была бы очень кстати. (Но возможно это мои проблемы с компом, так что не обращайте внимания!)

Звуки от кнопок в главном меню кажутся очень громкими и резкими, что делает ушам немного больно. Все остальные же звуки в аркаде кажутся в нужной мере тихими. Музыка подобрана очень хорошо и добавляет к атмосфере, что в гл. меню, что в самой игре - хочется слушать долго.

В остальном здорово! Спасибо за эту игру!♡

Немножко странный хитбокс у тарелки, но все равно очень круто! Вы молодцы :)

I really liked the Artstyle very cohesive.

Controls felt a bit sloppy but other than that I liked this game a lot.

Good Job guys!!

Really nice art style and graphics. Fresh idea that you cannot freely move around and keep the cow in the tractor beam. But maybe start with less asteroids in the beginning and then increase the difficulty from time to time. :smiley:

Art is pretty dope. But maybe a bit too hard? The rocks appearing too close and sometimes you don't even have a chance to get around an asteroid. But the intro and audio with a pretty art are killing it. gj!

Very nice concept, but the execution is a bit too restrictive for me ! The cooldown of the shooting ray is too long and you have a very small range of movement. I think the game would have benefitted from more snappy controls and arcade feel. The art style looks very nice and the intro is dope !

nice art, cool idea. A bit tricky as there are a lot of asteroids and you can move quite slowly. But overall cool

The game was a bit hard to play given the sometimes unfair collisions. Also took me a second before realizing you could shoot with spacebar (which wasn't in the tutorials). Loveable concept though!

I enjoyed it! Didn't know you could shoot, and was able to bypass being hit by hugging the left side.

I liked the mechanic where you have to keep the cow in the tractor beam or you lose it. It felt a little difficult to control the ship, and I wasn't able to make it too far in the level before dying. It looks like there's a bug with the score where every time you restart, it increases a little bit.

Funny concept with aliens dragging cows through space! Definitely a bit on the harder side though. I think being able to move a bit more and then having smaller and more dynamic asteroids would have made for more fun gameplay. It's a game jam though and this is solid in general so good job!

Cool story! ;D I also like the visuals a lot. the gameplay feels a little bit too difficult for my taste (because of the "slow" shooting and reloading), but I think others might enjoy the challenge. :)

it was funny to see the cow fly away, the comic was really successful at the beginning, I would have liked to be able to move more quickly
