This is my first game on Pico-8 and, actually, ever! I made it in 7 days (+ 1 day bug fixing/balancing) and have been learning lua for ~5 days prior so this was a SUPER fun and educational experience!

In this game, traverse different farms as a Cow of your choosing, each class providing different base stats. Shoot your way to victory with careful planning, basic upgrades, and simple vertical movement. Enjoy some great classic arcade vibes thanks to Gruber's Pico-8 Tunes Volume 1 music set! Each Victory rewards you with a unique "Trophy" that will be added to the farm you start in. Each Cow + Difficulty gives a different one, try to collect them all!

Difficulty Breakdown:

• Easy: "My Parent's Could Beat This" (and they did)
• Medium: "Average Gamer" (Game is scaled around this difficulty)
• Hard: "Sweaty Gamer" (An unforgiving challenge difficulty)

Class Breakdown:

• White Cow: Balanced Stat Cow that just vibes and hangs out
• Strawberry Cow: High Attack Speed Cow that played a LOT of shmups
• Wildcard Cow: Start With Random Stats because this Cow rolls the dice and goes with it
• Robo Cow: High Damage but SLOW shooting Cow that loves sniper rifles

Update: Now features downloadable Executables & the cart PNG for download
