Old MacDonald vs Zombies
* BUG NOTICE *
For some reason, sometimes zombies won't appear at the start of a game - if nothing starts popping out of the ground when you're playing, please reload the page. Sorry about that!
Old MacDonald had a farm. And on that farm he had a cow. Also, zombies.
Help Old MacDonald keep his cow happy by cleaning up after her, and in return, she'll be his best friend AND best defense against the growing zombie horde.
It's a story about friendship, cooperation and mutual respect. Also, zombies.
--------------------
HOW TO PLAY
--------------------
- You are Old MacDonald: move around the field using the ARROW KEYS
- While avoiding zombies, CLEAN UP after your cow. This will make her happy (you'll see a HEART over her head)
- When she's happy, whistle using the SPACEBAR and she'll run across the field to meet you, mowing down any zombies in her path
- And of course, score a lot of points
--------------------
If the music gets a little grating, you can toggle it on and off with the 'M'. The same can be done for the sound fx using the 'S' key.
Hoping to upload some downloadable builds (including a completely untested Linux version) in the near future (most likely over the weekend).

It feels like a hardcore version of Frogger because the zombies move only from left to right :D

Funny idea, wunna see more :3

ResonantCraft17 Dec 2013, 15:58
This is a nice, polished little game overall. The art style is very pleasant. I just wondered how the theme was used here (you only get one life ?). And the music feels too repetitive, mostly because you used a very well known theme (hiya hiya ho !).
This was a good experience overall !

Good job! Wery funny game.
Midnight Creators17 Dec 2013, 16:14
Wow! its proposal is extremely creative (nn) great job and cow dash!
AndreRodrigues17 Dec 2013, 16:37
Great job!
The artwork is pretty impressive for a jam, and I really like the mechanics.
I think the combo and scoring system could be a little clearer, but that didn't keep from playing a good 9 or 10 rounds.

16408 :D Laughed out loud at this entry, the whole concept is absolutely bonkers, loved it. The art and music were great. One of the funniest entries yet.

Xaychru0417 Dec 2013, 18:18
The pixel art and the music are cute, and I like how the music changes with the game, really well done on that part. On the overall the game is kinda fun to play, the game mechanics are pretty clever too. Good job! I enjoyed playing this cute game! :)
Jellycakes17 Dec 2013, 18:34
Really cool! Liked the gameplay mechanic, thought it was really interesting. It got a bit out of hand with the zombies though, so I died quite often. Really nice work!

Solluxx17 Dec 2013, 18:39
Super fun and polished. One of the better entries I have played. Great job rogue :) (oh and the cow is really really adorable)
RealMSHB17 Dec 2013, 19:13
this is so fun

ninjacharlie17 Dec 2013, 19:27
This one was really fun. Simple, clean and polished. Nice job :D

Jgpicatoste17 Dec 2013, 19:31
Although it's not a hard challenge (and thus it might get boring quickly), it was a fun experience and looks charming. GJ!

jimmypaulin17 Dec 2013, 20:10
Superb entry! The custom piano roll really makes this, along with the fab pixel art and animation. The difficult ramp was just right and it was satisfying trying to line up multiple kills. Really polished and fun to play, thanks!
Coblynau17 Dec 2013, 20:17
Perfect graphics, you are a pro. The game fits the theme great and lots of fun, this is a keeper!
Jan Marcano17 Dec 2013, 20:44
Awesome!! How the hell did you even come up with an idea like this? My highscore was 25726.
It would do wonders with some other zombie types, maybe different interactions for the cow? Dunno, but I'd like to see this idea expanded further.
All my stars are belong to you.

I would pay to play this game! Best game I've reviewed so far. Awesome graphics. You should definitely sell this on mobile.
mikale17 Dec 2013, 21:58
So fun :)
jerombd17 Dec 2013, 22:06
Well done and simple (a bit repetitive), but still fun.
Coin Flip Games18 Dec 2013, 01:12
Great game! Didn't see how it fit the theme though.
Strangelander18 Dec 2013, 16:42
Too fun. Great pixel graphics and blood!

Very funny game! Loved it. Nothing to add there :)
BeardoGames18 Dec 2013, 22:13
I'm usually not a fan of zombie games these days, but for this one I'll make a big exception! It's a blast to play, the graphics are dynamite, and the choice for use of the theme is hilarious! One of the best games I've tried so far, hands down!

almightysuit19 Dec 2013, 02:05
My highest rated game so far! Simple but very effective, loved the music, the art, and the concept. Well done Chris!
GeorgeBroussard19 Dec 2013, 03:30
Great entry. Love the art, music, presentation, and cow poop. Very funny and also very fun gameplay. Fun game, would poop scoop again!
Adam Tea19 Dec 2013, 08:10
Fun, awesome looking game. Loved the soundtrack! SUCH a weird concept haha.
Snuti19 Dec 2013, 13:42
Brilliant style, and that cow was too cute!
Music fitted really nicely with the game and very challenging when I had too many zombies on screen. Well done and good job :D

I'll admit, this is the first game I've ever played about cleaning up cow poop. My best score was 3598.

An unusual gameplay mechanic combined with really nice graphics and audio make for a very fun little gaming experience. Very good job!

Very cute and cool cow calling mechanic. Great game!





Can't imagine how that field must've smelled with the sweet combo of rotting corpses and cow patties...ugh.
