Very nice game.

Funny and good visual game !


The cows are so funny! I collected 355 dudes. Your game feels a lot more polished than I would expect.

The concept is so fun, lmao

Had me "one more round"ing until I could break 500, and it took around ten tries to do that. Very effective use of minimalist graphics (the way the ground color changes!).


Took me a while to figure out what the orange boxes do. Do the cows have a special effect, or are they mechanically identical to the people?

Such a good game! Very well-made and relaxing. I can't help playing round and round.

great visuals and a lot of fun

@jacobwinters thanks for playing!. Well, cows give you more score and orange boxes extend the beam time.
(It's true that I could have added this as info in the game)

Nice visuals, fun to play and an interesting take of the theme. I don't think i will play an entire day on this but that was a really good entry for a jam :smile:
Congrats! :heart:

Such a simple but such a fun game! I really liked it)
Running men are especially funny

scratched my brain good!

Wait the cows are worth *50*?!

... my new high score is 914.

Great entry! Especially like the music :) I was a bit confused about what the power-ups did initially.

Oh well... It's a great game! If you want, you can check out our take on the same concept of human collection :)

My best score was 575. Really fun and I liked the boxes to refill your beam energy so if you pathed well you could really suck up a lot of people.

Very fun!

Pretty satisfying to chain a lot of those boxes. I feel like the humans and cows should react a bit more to being abducted! They seem more concerned about other issues I guess. And it took me a bit to figure out what the boxes were doing -- maybe if they were electrical poles or something it would be more obvious that they extend the duration of the abduction beam? But overall great work!

very simple and satisfying! I wasnt sure what the yellow boxes did. I think something that modifies gameplay a bit more would be a good addition as well

Really cool game! I bookmarked it during the compo when I saw your progress posts. I remember seeing this right around the same time I saw this very similar game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/skyhand

The art style, the screen transitions, the music and sound effects all make this game very enjoyable to play.

Two things I have not figured out are 1) what the yellow boxes are for and 2) if it is a good thing to collect cows or if it somehow hurts you. Collecting yellow boxes and cows both make some special sound but they seem not to have any effect as far as I can tell :-)

Awesome game, really well executed, thanks!

Very entertaining game. Perfectly captures the jam theme. The music is awesome. Love that it's immediately clear what to do and how to play. Great job

@gonutz cows are worth more points and the boxes extend the beam time. I think the yellow/orange boxes are a debuff. The purple boxes refill the beam energy but I have noticed collecting the yellow boxes immediately takes a chunk off the beam energy bar.

@gonutz @bbrown Thanks for playing! Cows give you more score. Purple boxes replenish your beam's energy and orange boxes extend its maximum duration.

The shortening of the bar is due to calculation of the bar drawing. Since the bar is fixed width when you change the maximum value it than seems to decrease like that. Potential fix would be when increasing the max value of beam to add some percentage with it. (TODO for post jam :) )

I can imagine playing this on my phone, well done!


Congrats on 6th in theme!
