CowCowHorseBoi lol best game ever XD

Couldn't launch the game either on windows on linux, says failed to load mono

Tried the HMTL Version, very funny game love how the animals just stack on top of each other, also I think my favorite bit is the sound effect of the first npc talking, it's so good.

Camera could use some work, it behaved strangely at time but other then that, good entry!

At first I thought this was going to be a standard cowboy game but then I realized you can stack cows and this quickly became one of my favorite entries I have played so far! I only wished the lasso was a little bit more intuitive to use, it's really unusual to say the least. Good work!

Alex Chertilin2 May 2023, 12:40

I ride on a stack of animals! Like a tower! So fun!

Gmiss2 May 2023, 12:43

The funniest and most enjoyable game for far, damn this is good those graphics, music, sound effects, it's all done just great, awesome concept and excellent execution.

Rosa Nussbaum2 May 2023, 12:44

10/10 no notes. This is an excellent game, though my heart was crushed when I dismounted from my cow tower to early. Super creative.

SayuriNyooko2 May 2023, 12:49

What a wonderful game! I enjoyed it so much, thank you!!

osh.studio2 May 2023, 12:51

Super funny game, seeing horsecowcowboi for the first time made me giggle, then seeing goosegoosehorsecowboi was even better. The jump mechanic was a little chaotic tho. Great submission!

Ellistar2 May 2023, 14:02

Now i wanna to WoW the same stackable mounts as you have in the game)))) good job!)

Nikfus2 May 2023, 18:36

Cool idea, interesting concept. But the mouse sensitivity is too high and the camera behaves horribly. But it's cool.

Ryabchik2 May 2023, 18:40

interesting idea and implementation. Loved the sounds and music. The atmosphere is well done. There are a few technical issues, but overall great)

JanUres2 May 2023, 18:53

I laughfed too hard at this. Great music, any Line6 effect processor used for it?

Savolae2 May 2023, 20:41

Had fun trying to stack as many animals as possible and wondering around on my glorious tower. Great entry

grizeldi2 May 2023, 21:32

Looks neat. I'm loving the NPC voice at spawn and as soon as my status changed from CowBoy to CowCowBoy I realized what you did there and almost fell off my chair laughing. Good job.

Manny2 May 2023, 21:34

Love the way your animals sway around when you have a lot. Charming graphics!

Ruben Rosenmeyer2 May 2023, 21:40

Awesome idea, great execusion! Graphics, music, gameplay; it even was fun to walk around and gather all collectibles :D
One thing, the camera behaves strange when playing the web version in full screen mode. Haven't run into any other bugs tho.

Bukaanka2 May 2023, 21:44

Nice visuals and sounds, I really liked the voice of a quest giver, reminded me of worms games :)
Had a lot of fun playing, the only remark is camera jitter, other than that a neat and clever game!

kankje3 May 2023, 14:21

Great stacking mechanism 🤣

I had some problems with the trackpad on Mac but otherwise a great and hilarious game! ✌️

jaaskeh3 May 2023, 14:26

The stacking mechanic pushed the game from good to great! Shading of the models doesn't seem to work correctly on Mac, but everything else seemed to work fine. The look sensitivity and strafing could have maybe used a bit more tuning. Loved the atmosphere and trying to stack as high as I could!

Hoshinu3 May 2023, 17:57

Very cute! The stacking mechanic is excellent and unexpected, but the way that the camera shakes around when you're not moving, and the swaying back and forth made me feel pretty motion sick. Very unique idea though!

Ausstein3 May 2023, 18:14

very funny game.

For me (windows build) the controls were very hard. i hat to spam spce like 20 times before the dismount worked and also had to spam the lasso many times before it would register a hit. This made it unfortunately too frustrating for me to complete.

I'll check if the controls are better on web, but other than that (which seems like a bug) the game was fantastic

Ausstein3 May 2023, 18:20

okay on WebGL it seems to be working much better :)

Jaco van Hemert3 May 2023, 18:54

The moment the second cow stacked on top of the first, I was hooked. Very funny, especially when you have a bunch of geese piled on each other, swaying around wildly while I ran around. Incredible.

Some annoyances: The mouse sensitivity felt way too much, and the lasso was very hard to aim. Some adjustments would maybe help make this feel nicer?

Overall: Hilarious, and fun to play. Good work.

agushmar3 May 2023, 19:29

Muy divertido, me gustó la idea de subir sobre los animales, no pude encontrar la ultima botella :( me encanto el arte

Twaerd4 May 2023, 21:10

Very fun chill game with a CowCowCowCowCowCowCowBoi

Fragment Games4 May 2023, 21:49

haha, i liked this one! a good entry. Keep it up!

manioora4 May 2023, 22:25

I got lost in the canyon whilst riding a horse and 5-6 cows, then jumped off and clipped into a rock. 10/10 one of the most fun games in the jam

EmojiBea4 May 2023, 22:32

Once I realized I could stack the animals I knew this one was a winner. Great game, hilarious twist.

nardandas5 May 2023, 07:54

Really funny premise! I liked the gameplay for the most part, but found jumping to be a bit frustrating, It was very easy to lose a whole stack of cattle!

LDJam user 3380425 May 2023, 08:06

What a fun game! Died laughing when not only animals would stack but their names too! Atmosphere was really nailed in with the blues piano tunes and the silly SFX were well made. Honestly my favourite entry in this jam so far! Good job!

LDJam user 2781465 May 2023, 08:29

This was hilarious! I liked the interesting western terrain and the boxy cows.

The controls felt a bit janky when I had a really tall stack but really that just added to the hilarity.

Usenrame5 May 2023, 18:59

Hilarious "ma mam amamamam mama amama amamama"

Team Gaivot5 May 2023, 22:11

Oh man, I laughed hard when I Cowcowboi'd. Great job!!

arron-fowler9 May 2023, 12:23

I loved the little touches, dancing cow etc. It was a nice map and artstyle. The controls where fine but the general flow of the game was a bit jumpy. Maybe it was the camera I am not sure. With a little bit of refinement it would have made this entry feel slicker. Minor really. Lots good here and I was very pleased to have played this one.
