Alien Cow Farm - Alpha Build

Description:

Zoom around as a UFO and abduct as many cows as possible for your very own Alien Cow Farm! Play different game modes to set high scores, then challenge your friends to a multiplayer battle royale! After all, what fun is having a trap that lures nearby cows if you're not using it to steal from your opponents?


The game can be played with up to four players, but in this version, more will be more fun. All forms of dual-stick controllers are supported, plus one player can use the keyboard. Onscreen prompts will show Player1 how to navigate all the menus, and in-game controls can be found on the How To Play and pause menus).  Try all of the different game modes, lengths, and map sizes!




ALPHA UPDATE:

The web build is provided for convenience, but performance (both frame rate and overall loading time) will be much better by downloading and using one of these builds locally:

Windows

Mac

You'll also get access to the new save functionality and the high-score system!  I've been able to get marked performance improvement over the previous version.  Loading for the largest map can still take up to a minute, but be patient and it will finish. Once in the game, frame rate should no longer be an issue. As before, textures will not display properly on browsers other than Firefox and Chrome.

 

This is an Alpha build, which means that it is still a work-in-progress and missing much of the total planned content. You can navigate through all the menus, play a game session, and loop back around and do it again...all without encountering any [major] bugs. There is currently only one game map and still a lot of "coming soon" menus.  But don't worry, plenty more is planned for the Beta and final releases. I ask that if you play, please take the time to fill out a survey about your experience. I know they're a pain, so I tried to make it as humorous as possible:

Every response will help make the next version better!

Please keep in mind that THIS IS AN ALPHA BUILD. It's perfectly okay to be critical of the things that are in the game, but not the things that are not in the game...at least for now. Some things that are definitely coming in future versions:

  • Additional planet maps

  • Additional game modes

  • COM AI for non-player UFOs

  • Achievements and leaderboards

  • Better / auto-aiming for shots

  • Camera clipping fix

  • Music and sound effects
