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!

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

Great stacking mechanism 🤣

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

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

I don't think anything could have prepared me for what to expect in this game but I had a good laugh :P
