Hey guys, this is the second time that I have participated in Ludum Dare, and honestly I'm just happy that I finished because 21 hours in, my original idea turned out horribly so I created this in only 27 hours!

Once upon a time, there was a cow.
He lived on a farm in a faraway land.
BUT THEN- A giant combine started chasing him down the never-ending field.

You are that cow.

All you must do to survive:

Move left and right to avoid the tractors with the arrow keys.
Don't run into the wheat fields.
Eat hay bales to outrun the combine.

Survive as long as you can because the field never ends!

Solid game. Maybe little too difficult.

I really liked this game. It's nice and simple, and the weighty controls give it a flappy bird frustration and repeat cycle which works really well for it.

A couple of times I was given unwinnable layouts, but I didn't feel too frustrated by it. Good work!

I get this when trying to run on windows- "A Java Exception has occurred."

A great little game, but my fun was curtailed by the frequency I ended up with unbeatable situations. Get the tractor spacing right and it would be so much more fun.

Could make for a great infinite runner mobile game like Crossy Road. Just need to make sure that at any moment the lane is passable.

On-theme, very difficult to get far due to RNG presenting unbeatable layouts. Amusing idea though.

I got to 30 points after a few tries but never really saw any hay bales.

These kind of games remind me of updated versions of the old Tiger Electronics hand-helds.
