CowMower 2000
Buckle up and get ready to butcher some cows with your brand-new *CowMower 2000!!!*

This is my first ever solo jam, and made with a very lazy schedule, so adjust your expectations accordingly.
The car controller is a free asset I found on the asset store, so I made very little actual code myself.
(Shoutout to Arcade car physics!)

- Pros: could mow cows with any part of my cow mower, not just the front.
- Cons: cow mower has a massive turning circle and handles like a cow.
- Cows: 33
- Verdict: there's not a lot there, but it's engaging, and I'd play it again.

It was honestly pretty fun. I played a few times. The only thing lacking for me was a way to restart if I felt like I had "butchered" my run for a high score.
I got 40 cows.

A solid entry for a first solo jam game. The graphics look good and even when the control feels a bit like driving a brick, I did have fun running over those damn cows :)

This is quite a transcendent game. I liked the handling of the car, feels good and challenging enough. Could use some wacky animations and sounds for the cows, would greatly expand the experience with not much work.

A day in the life of a cattle farmer. I mowed 33 cows. I had fun!

I got oddly wrapped up in getting them all, but best I could do was 40.
If you think about it, aren't we all just cows in a featureless field waiting for be hit by a combine harvester?

CowMower2k needs 3 things to Perfection ;D
- Restart Button
- Cows mooing when mowed
- (red) Particle effects
still having a good direction - I am looking forward for your Games in the Future.

It's a good basis. There is missing something to make it fun. I like the look of the harvester, it's fun that the harvest front is rotating but not the wheels. Just some thin cylinder over the wheels to make it rotate ;)

Nice job Axel, High quality props with a fun game play loop. Who know harvesting cows would be so much fun.

Great graphics, as usual. The gameplay is simple and, most importantly, it works.
The next step would be to add blood effects, sound effects and some sort of basic avoidance AI to give the cows some life. Great work!

On the surface, the game can be confusing to the inexperienced gamer, but if you can look deeper you will see the truth. The game is like an onion, it has many levels that make you cry.
Axlplosion's skills glow with the madness of genius, for not just I was moved, I understood and I was transformed. I am a different person now. Thank you.
