How does your game fit the theme?
Iterating on the mazing behaviour of old tower defense games, I made a game about mazing cows in loops for as long as possible. Various additions to the map make this more interesting.

Such a fun and unique concept! The artwork is adorable and has so much personality, and the puzzles are very clever. I always found myself going over the point requirement which is always a great feeling. Awesome game!

Submitted

The puzzles were more complex then expected. The portal really added a lot of depth to the game because they are the one spot the cows go to but do not have to return.  With some more items I could see this having a lot of possible solutions. The game does kinda break on 8x speed right now.  The art is humorous Congrats on submitting

This is very good puzzle game. Special tiles are simple enough to understand the round after you first see them. And Each level can easily be finished on a second try :) (so bang on difficulty i would say)

You can say i couldn't moove away from this game.. (I am terribly sorry)

I didn't notice/understand the money patches on the ground the first time I tried, but once I did it was very fun to path the cows around to hit them as much as I could!

Developer

Yep tiles those are key to maximising your economy, thanks for playing!

The game is really fun, it's a clever interpretation of the theme and has awesome art. But I need to point out (like some already have done) that the game completely glitches out when you put x8 speed, despite that the game is really enjoyable!

Developer

Thanks for playing! <3

This game is really fun, but admittedly the 8x speed causes a lot of issues and glitches out the game, I was able to 77,000 score on a level despite the requirement being 8000. Fun puzzle game, enjoyed it a lot and played for about half an hour!

I've learned my mistake with the 8x speed but I'm glad people are getting some fun out of it :DD
Thanks for playing!

This was actually amazing, I loved the idea here and I played it way longer than I would have expected

Developer

Thanks for playing, (and leading me to your fun game)!

Submitted

This was so much fun :D

I tried my best to get 3 stars on all levels. I have never thought so hard about de-optimizing cow paths. Great game, concept, and art. I did also run into a small bug where on 8x speed some cows might get stuck producing INFINITE MILK, but it was pretty funny. 10/10 would play again!!

Developer

I should've hidden the 8x speed option outside of my testing but am glad people are finding it funny regardless xD
Thanks for playing :DD

I really enjoyed this. I love mazing tower defense games, and the change in theme was delightful here. The sound of the milk constantly sloshing around was both hilarious and disgusting.

Developer

I will count the sound effect as a success then xD
Thanks for playing!

Came for the Moos, stayed for the gameplay. Good job!!(*´︶`*)

Don't we all <3

This game is *fascinating*. I feel like it could have fit the theme for a few years ago "roles reversed" too, because I feel like I'm trying to make a maze to confound an A* search. Great gameplay loop and trying to improve your path over multiple rounds. I wanna go back and get 3 stars when I have time!

Developer(+1)

Love how you put that trying to "confound an A* search", great description and it's exactly why I thought it was a unique take. Also games about optimisation just tickle my brain xD
Thanks for playing (also led me to your amazing game)!

I got the milk moving quite fine UNTIL the last level haha. The speed option is excelent, the game is very clear and it's a great mechanic to keep on exploring as a player. The "number go up" hook works great!

Developer(+1)

That last level was a test of skill, glad you enjoyed! <3

I love the isometric hexagon tilemap and the cows are so cute bobbing around. 

I put the game on x8 speed and it might've exploded the milk container

Developer

Haha the 8x speed was a godsend for testing purposes

Submitted

Nice idea and nicely executed. I just found it hard to understand the puzzle. I guess I would first need to understand the pathfinding, maybe then I would get much more into optimising :)

Nice game, it's amooooosing!

I have been exposed to too many cow puns this last weekend...

Nice, cute idea! And great thinking to put the game speed setting in the game, as it makes it a lot easier to experiment with new strategies.

Developer(+1)

Yea I figured it was common curtesy to add those in a game where the goal is to prolong the game xD

Really unique take on this style of game, had a lot of fun playing and the art is awesome, good job!
