Cow

"This game should be used as a model for the rest of the game industry" - Me to my friend while playing this game.

Cow is probably the BEST game of all time. No game could compare to the wild and fast nature of this game. Tell EVERYONE you know to get Cow, especially during a sale. At least get the demo and have a taste of Cow.

I found this game through the Archipelago implementation of it, and just experiencing it had my whole friend group laughing. Super silly and fun little game. For $5 you get a great time for the most part, I highly recommend giving it a shot! The game has 80+ levels with a bunch of achievements to go after, along with an endless mode for unlimited cow. What's not to like? The gameplay is very easy to pick up and learn, but I will warn that the later levels get extremely difficult. The in game level leaderboards are a fun feature too if you're the competitive type. Since the game is very new, there are some flaws, particularly in the difficulty curve, with some levels being difficult and others being incredibly easy. Almost the entire group I played alongside got stuck on R1 for a while because of how much more difficult it was in comparison to the levels surrounding it. There were also some stuttering/lag issues with a couple of the later levels with lots of objects in them, but nothing game ruining or anything :) Cow is glorious. Moooooo.

holy peak. masterclass in game design. take notes

Friend and I raced this game blind on a discord call and it was a banger for that. Fun, purely gameplay focused with some funny achievements and overall a great time. We had beaten the entire catalog of levels in less than 2 hours. Big recommend if you're looking for a quick fun evening with a friend or three. Also, we found it via the Archipelago wiki and I IMMEDIATELY just bought it for myself and said friend before we raced it. Cow

Hopped on VC with a friend and did a blind race of this game. For that context, this game was amazing. Was fun to fall behind a while, but then catch up on a level the friend really struggled on. Campaign is about an hour or so depending on skill level, but there's time scores, collectables, and bonus levels to beat if you want to dig in. Truly what you see here is what you get, and it's beautiful. Shoutouts to the Archipelago project for introducing us to this game!
