You are brave Betty, rescuing the Earth cows from their slave overlords, the "Cowboys".  

The Space Farm moothership is heading to orbit in 60 seconds ..unless you can show the Elder Cows that there's still more comrades to be rescued.

---

How to Play:

Catch cows using the swinging magnet attached to your UFO. Then carry them up to large mothership where they will be automatically teleported to safety.

Move the UFO using the arrow keys or (W,A,S,D keys) to pick up cows using your magnet. Press the Space bar to dash.

If you get hit by a laser beam or flying mine you'll drop your cow.

Rescuing cows adds time back to the countdown. The game ends when you run out of time.

Your magnet can catch multiple cows at a time, but be careful as their weight will slow you down!

Features:

If you rescue enough cows, you can upgrade your UFO with the following abilities:

* Bovine Barrier Shield

* Stronger Engines to carry more cows

* Gold Cows add more time when you rescue them

* Teleport Beam lets you teleport away the pesky cowboys and their loyal horses.

thank you for playing! yeah I wanted to make a boss character, so I decided on weaponised horses (which have actually been attempted in history!). I gave the horses blinders over their eyes so they wouldn't be aware of their situation
