First off, what stands out most to me: excellent soundtrack! The music is outstanding and bubbly and full of yay. :laughing:

The gameplay was sometimes fairly easy and sometimes it just snowballed into impossibility. It kind of seemed down to bad luck sometimes. Dragging cows away seemed to take kind of long, so I did lose a bunch to an explosion, but I had enough remaining to get all the milk I needed regardless. Then other times I had two or three cows and they all just got sick before I got sufficient milk.

The art is pretty cute, but I would've liked animations that rival the music in happy juicy bounciness. :wink:

Yeah, I agree with @flaterectomy: I liked the game, but didn't like how it's basically RNG that kills you - I want to feel like I personally failed and could do better next time. Not sure exactly how you could tweak that to make the virus feel more "fair" when it starts.
