MOO-F-O (モーモーユーホー)
A downloadable game for Windows
This is MOO-F-O, a two week prototype project!
Gameplay:
Defend your cows from waves of aliens by jumping from planet to planet, kick aliens and bounce them into each other. Replay to beat the high score.
Development:
It's missing quite a few features (sfx, music, more enemies, etc), as well as not being very balanced (there is a dominant strategy, which I'm sure you'll discover), but I wanted to get it out there for people to enjoy!
Obviously, it's heavily inspired by arcade games like Space Invaders and Defender, along with the classic alien trope of cattle abductions. Somewhere down the line I'd also like to make some Famicom style cover art.
This game is written using a custom engine written in Python, which uses OpenGL (pyglet) for graphics.
All art was done by myself using MS Paint's crayon tool. Proudly free of AI generated art, content, code, etc.

Super cool game! The art style is fun, and I really liked when I was able to chain together kicking multiple aliens. I did have some performance issues, but nothing that made it unplayable. The controls took some getting used to, but after playing for a bit it was ok.
Thanks for playing!
This engine is a work in progress, so I expected some issues on other machines.
As for performance issues, did you notice it at certain points in the game, for example when multiple aliens appeared at once?
And what FPS did the game run at, for the most part?
When my laptop was unplugged the game ran at about 52-55 fps, with stutters at seemingly random points. When I plugged in my laptop it ran at about 90-100 fps.
Alright, thanks for your feedback!
