10/10 would push more cows over again. and again. and again.

High Definition Cow Graphics Spooky Boar Stupid Doge 10/10

Didn't get my achievements

It's an ok game. But it gets monotone very quickly.

This reminds me of my year as an exchange student in Kansas. 10/10

The dream is real my entire life i've always wanted to quit my job and push cows over, and with this game the dream has become a reality

Entertaining little game, better than some of the more expensive muck I've played. Gameplay gets repetitive; after the first few levels you've essentially experienced everything the game has to offer. It was fun to stream though, my community got a good laugh out of it and I 100%-ed the achievements so that always feels good. Picked the game up on sale for 99 cents and honestly wouldn't pay more than that for it. Good time waster.

This is a running back and forth game while pushing over cows. It’s made by Vis games which is really a German indie developer named Andre Burger, who previously made Joe's Diner. The fact that the Dev's name is 'Burger' and we've gone from cleaning up haunted diners to now cow tipping seems to make me think this developer may have some internal issues with his family name. That placed aside, this is a 15 level game where you need to push cows over in one of four paddocks while avoiding the guard dog placed in each. In-between paddocks are wild boars which will chase you too. If either a wild boar or guard dog touches you, its game over, and you will have to try that level again. Levels 1 - 12 you can easily out run the dogs. Level 13 - 15 you will have to change strategy as the dogs are a lot quicker now. Vis games truly knows how to create an amazing environment, but as for gameplay, unfortunately it falls flat like a tipped cow, especially after the initial level or two. Andre Burger is a talented developer whom I personally would love if he would sit down and really meditate on what makes a game have a LONG lasting impact on players. His environments are always at that level, the game mechanics are unfortunately usually always shallow. Another negative gripe is that none of the 11 achievements of the game unlock. This matter had been noted since 2018 and while the developer has replied in text promising publicly to look into the matter, nothing has been rectified. Meaning his promise of fixing was complete 'Bull'. Its way overpriced for $5.95 and I hope you can see red that it’s milking customers with what very little meaningful experience and entertainment value it has on offer here. If you’re not an achievement hunter however, then you may not have any beef to get it for yourself when it goes on 75% sale now and then, so that you can at least experience this udderly quirky game. Personally I felt a bit sorry for the cows as if they haven't got enough to contend with, with alien mother ships with tractor beams and cavity searches... Below the last level of the game for sample which simply ends in credits and main screen... https://youtu.be/y9D8StqL7R4 If you enjoyed reading this review, feel free to subscribe to my curator page.

One of my viewers asked me to try this game out so I said sure, why not. Installed fast and booted it up after watching the trailer. Level 1. Had good ambience, looked pretty good for a $4 game. Was creeped out a bit as I figured out what I was doing. Got into a paddock, shoved a cow over. Did it four more times and the level ended. Level 2. Knock over a couple more in the same paddock. Okay I guess? Cows are in the same places. Oh a dog that I can outrun and I have no stamina. Level 3: Knock over a couple more??? Level 6-8?: Oh there is a pig that chases me around outside the paddocks now. Level 10: I'm literally just doing the same thing over and over and over again. If this was someone's first venture into game making and it was free, then I would be a bit impressed. Alas, I spent $4 on this and must rate it as something I would expect out of a $4 game, which isn't much, and this just doesn't cut it. You literally see all the game mechanics on the very first level. I didn't play past Level 10, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Don't buy this game for $4. I would even have a hard time justifying spending $0.50 on it.
