Milky Way is a top-down shooter game where a farmer finds a device capable of picking up signals. One of these signals leads him to discover why the cows on his farm have been disappearing: alien ships take them during the night. Armed with his shotgun and this strange device, the farmer ventures into the tractor beam alongside another unfortunate cow, unaware of what awaits him inside...

The game is fun, but I couldn't get past the room with so many mobs on the second level... Т.Т
And I really liked the funny designs of the various alien cows!

Well, I guess some signals are deadly. That being said, it's fun shooting game. I had a blast shooting cows and giving them status error to win. Did complete this short game though.

I enjoyed it overall.

The artwork in the opening scenes really stood out and gave the game a unique feel right from the start. The cow sprites were pretty amazing.

I wish there were some invulnerability frames after getting hit. As it is, it feels pretty punishing to take one hit and then immediately get taken down by a stream of bullets.

I liked how the cartridges modify the gameplay, but I found myself wishing for gun power-ups as well. The enemies have different guns, and it would be fun to be able to use some of those!

Fun game! Got to the end and had a good time - but I do think the standout part was actually the opening scene, which really did a great job of setting everything up and made the whole thing feel so much "bigger"! Overall great work guys!
