Moo Lander

The game is fun at first but due to extremely clunky controls and unpolished design, it is progressively more and more frustrating to the point where I just gave up halfway through. What is good about the game is the art style and the music. The story is kind of meh and the rest is just bad. The controls feel like it was designed by someone who never held a controller in their life. It is truly atrocious. It tries to be a twin-stick shooter but somehow fails miserably and the controls just feel extremely bad. I got the laser as fast as I could so I would not have to spam R2 for each and every shot because hold-to-shoot is apparently too cool for the devs. It legit made my fingers hurt. Once you get the dash ability, you immediately realize how bad the camera is. It constantly fails to follow at reasonable pace, making me constantly dash into thorns cos I can't see where I'm going. It truly shines in chase scenes where you just smash into things. The constant zoom-in in narrow places is also annoying as hell. Once you get the splitter thingy, you also realize another design flaw. When aiming it, it constantly snaps to the ship itself which renders it completely unusable. So you …

A great indie game! I was a bit sceptical at first, but I saw that there is local multiplayer so I wanted to try it with my children and we had a blast! Their favorite mode is the football and they always play with the cows. Definetly worth it if you have joysticks and someone to play with. I haven't played a lot of the singleplayer yet but it looks promising

Had a lot of fun with Moo Lander. This is a different kind of game than what I'm used to. I play a lot of Metroidvanias, and while this has elements of that genre, I wouldn't categorize it as one. It's more linear, with occasional offshoots, many of which are unfortunately missable. Go in one direction looking for a secret, and you could get locked into the next section of the main track before you know it, so just forge ahead and enjoy the experience. And that's totally fine! My FOMO faded quickly after this happened a couple times. You'll still get plenty of upgrade points, fun weapons, and encounter interesting and bizarre physics puzzles. The bosses were fun challenges. While there was a fair amount of similarity between some boss battles, a couple in particular have unique mechanics that made them really stand out. The final boss was an absolute blast. The sound design and visual style fit well and create a unique atmosphere consisting of several different biomes with unique mechanics, but you won't be backtracking through them like in a Metroidvania. The story was fine. A little silly, with mostly consistently-paced plot developments to move you along. Many actual Metroidv…

Moolander advertises itself having metroidvania elements, which while true is a bit misleading as the game is nearly 100% linear. It's also rather long for a linear game and i found myself a bit bored after a while. Reason being is that platforming gameplay functionally does not exist given the fact that you control a UFO. I'm not too big on twin stick shooters for this reason and moolander did not bring enough creative ideas to the table to make it interesting. You could argue that the quirky setting/humor make up for this but for me it was quite the opposite. I bought this game fully knowing the ridiculous setting but as i gazed upon the beautiful landscapes i wished they would have gone for a more serious setting. These lush environments would've been perfect for a fantasy platformer the likes of Ori, they have incredible depth and feel ripe for on foot exploration. But that's not what moolander is so i shouldn't review it wishing as such. Moolander did have a few fun mechanics for a twin stick shooter 'floating' MV. Especially the sword slash you can do around you was fun as it was less shooter and more hack & slash. The boss fights were appropriately themed vs cows but they …

This game i awesome. Desing, music everything. Also the developers know they their job/skills very well. I highly recommend this game. Is worth to take some time and complete it.
