I wish some of the areas had loops so you could try and juke the monster using those loops to potentially make it more fun.
Other than that I really liked the look, atmosphere, and gameplay. I thought it's really well done and this game is one of my favorite submissions, very nice job!
Thank you for your kind words, friend! I'm very glad you liked my little game. And thanks for the feedback! 😄
Nice pixel art / colors and movement. I would like to do a similar style too sometime in the future.
Cool game if you dont have much time and want something simple and a little bit challenging to play
Thank you, my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed my game! The art is from Kenney's 1-bit Pack, by the way. I just tweaked it a litte bit. 😄
I got the cow home! Whoa, she is heavy. The choice of colors is lovely and fitting, and the pixel art gives me nostalgia.
Thank you, friend! The art is from Kenney's 1-bit Pack (I just modified some things). It's really good, like all Kenney's assets. 😀 Thanks for giving my game a try!
I liked the visual style a lot and, as a whole, the game creates a very tense atmosphere. It startled me a bit when El Pombero came out for the first time.
Very cool entry, but would be nice to have more loops to avoid the monster, that could also use a navmesh to chase you through the environment.
Hello, friend! Thanks for your words! I'm glad you liked my game. 😁 And it's good to know my efforts on trying to make an uneasy atmosphere paid off in the end.
Regarding the Pombero chase, I wanted to add more space for maneuvering, but I sadly ran out of time. 😅
I really liked the atmosphere you created in this game. The game is simple but it works well. Just at some point the Pombero got stuck on one edge of the river and it stopped following me, so I could finish the game more easily ;)
Good job overall !
Yeah, it has pretty basic pathfinding, and the river is another layer of the tilemap, so he doesn't try to avoid it. Haha 😅 But I'm glad you liked it regardless. Thank you for giving my little game a try! 😄
Nice little game which gave a fright! Good job! It's cool you have used some local folklore too, I can go to bed having learned something new today :)
Haha! Hello there! I'm very glad you liked my little game and that I was able to provide you with a bit of new knowledge. Thanks for playing! 😄
Grate atmosphere. The slower movement speed with the cow makes Pombero way scarier.
Hello, friend! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my little game! 😄 The Pombero is a scary little guy! Haha
Legit got scared when the Pombero arrived, cool little game
Thank you por trying my little game! I'm glad it managed to give you a little scare. Haha :D
I liked the atmosphere and that our objective was to save our cow - it's very original compared to games where you only need to run away from monsters.
Btw, I don't know if it was my resolution, but I couldn't read the labels you put in the game, they look a bit blurry
Yeah, it's possible the text in the labels are messy. Sorry about that. I still don't dominate UI. 😅 But I'm very glad you liked the rest of it. Thank you playing my little game! 😁
Really good game, especially with the sounds and the light that makes it stressful as intended. Good folklore inspiration too, I'm glad to have the small summary of Pombero in the description of the game. Good job !
Hey there! Thank you so much for playing my little game! And I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :D
I liked the atmosphere, and the very pretty art too.
good job :D
Thanks, my friend! I'm very glad you liked it! :)
Incredible atmosphere and great visuals, you did an amazing job! You are very talented at setting the mood! :D
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad you liked it. :)
