Love it! Great mashup, visuals are excellent, found the initial map a bit awkward to get around in but once y'get the hang of it it's a neat idea!

Great, it took me a while to figure out why I died when I run into a hill but the game is fun.

Nice game, good idea =D A little bit hard to understand the map tiles, but that was fun to play! The water hitbox is a bit generous though ^^'

Really inventive mashup and plays surprisingly well! I wasn't sure what I was expecting but I like what I got. There isn't a lot I would change, I didn't hit any bad bugs and I thought the entry was really solid. I guess more levels is all we need! Good work.

I liked the idea! It is fun to play and somewhat still fast paced. The game is also well-balanced (at least for few minutes I've played it).

Some notes:
- It is hard to distinguish which field is blocking and which is water
- Map could have less obstacles
- Cows with different guns? (Or maybe I just wasn't patient enough to find those?)
- Cows *can* swim

A very nice and humorous entry. Keep up the good work!

really good game, good idea to combine tower defence and snake. harder than it looks! quite punishing when build up a long train of cows then accidentally walk into yourself.

Well made, fun to play. Animations are great and sound is good. I though it could be better not to have a direct game over when you do something wrong. Colliding with something could make you lose one follower or all maybe. And maybe you could allow a few chickens to go to the goal before you lose.

Great idea to combine tower-defense and snake - when we did out take on tower-defense/racing we didn't even think about the very cool and original idea to not only make the player the snake/racing car but also the towers. The only thing that bugged me a bit was the map (I really often walk into the 'walls'), the higher than normal difficulty is also a great touch.

Cow vs chicken. Well done!
