Moo.F.O. by Maxr00

[raw]
made by Maxr00 for LD34 (COMPO)
--Edit: A last minute fix made the game feel very heavy and unpleasant, but I did a quick fix! The game should feel much better now!

Control a spaceship and bring some cows back to the Mother Ship!

MooFO includes 4 levels, 4 songs, and plenty of cows.
I used the Two Button theme, so this game can be played entirely with your mouse.

Controls:
Left Click: Activate Thrust
Right Click: Activate Beam
The ship will always turn to point towards the mouse.

Find all the cows and, using your ship's beam, bring them back to Mother Ship's beam.

You know.. after playing so much Kerbal Space Program, you'd think I'd be better at flying rockets :P

Well done! Cute and made me laugh, and solid use of the controls!

Slow controls. The gameplay could be more complex with better controls.
Nice graphics and idea.

It's just the right amount of frustrating to control, where I can do fine if I'm careful, but I feel like I want to take shortcuts and go faster.

Nice balance.

I never got past level 2. It felt like there was too much gravity.

Interesting concept and fun gameplay. If the gravity were just a little weaker, then it would feel like a good amount of frustration for me. I like the music a lot.

Yes! hammer-throwing cows into tractor beams! Yes!

I especially like flinging the cows towards the mothership. The ship felt really heavy and hard to keep up but I guess that's the point! Nice job!

Surprisingly challenging! I need more coordination to play this...

Great game. The controls are just right and the art looks really nice. The only problems are that the cows can collide with the ship when they're being sucked into the mother ship and mess up the controls and that the ship seems awfully sluggish in the second level.

The song was catchy. The controls were a tad slippery, and i found flinging cows with the laser to be more fun than just putting them into the tractor beam. If the game was, for instance, about using the tractor beam to knock houses down by throwing cows at them, that would be more fun

I like it! and +1 for the graphics (they are cute). The theme is fun too!

Very nice, Lunar Lander, with cownapping. Controls were a little tricky I kept spinning out the vehicle by not paying attention to the mouse cursor - I'd prefer if it acted more like a joystick. Couldn't get through second level, the craft and the bovine got heavy, and thrust was incredibly slow. Fun to fling cows when you get the hang of it.

felt repetitive and that the tractor beam could've been a toggle. game was fun to play though.

Pretty nice game, and very fun to play, though it lags quite a bit on my computer. I'm not sure if that's on the part of your game or my computer TBH.

Great sound and graphcis. I also liked the controls. I was able to create a lot of absurd cow throwing here!

Controls was a bit difficult. Other than that some good fun to be had :)

Nice idea, controls feel a bit finicky every once in a while

So funny! And very fun to toy with the mechanics as well. Definitely a very cool entry!

This reminds me of an old spaceship game where you had to lift things or land. Neat, and I'm glad this doesn't have a fuel gauge.

Unfortunately it's very hard and slow for me. I almost got to the end of the second level, but it took a very long time, and then one wrong move instantly restarted the whole level -- I would have had to collect all the cows again. :(

5 cows per level might be more fun in my opinion.
