PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X

For something made in <72 hours this is a solid game. You should definitely expand on this, it was fun :D
Funny game. Nice of you that you took the time to even make a little tutorial. The cow AI works really well, it is a lot of fun to herd them around using the drones.
It seems the levels don't really get harder over time. When I have 100% destruction level but still got drones, the game doesn't let me play the next level until I use up those drones. I'm not entirely sure but it seems I got 100% in one level with some people still alive.
If you hold LMB you can drag a drone around and abuse the increased(/infinite) speed to guide the cows at will.
I have a healthy hatred towards ants now...
Got lost after a while but Great mood, quite enjoyable!
Nice game. Who knew it would be so hard to steer cows in the right direction. :)
Very cool idea, but I would have liked more strategy time before starting the attack
Had to swap to fullscreen to tone down the resolution, which was weird. Might be nice to have a destruction threshold where you can move onto the next level if you want. A couple times I'd get destroy most everything and then just have to expend drones doing not much at all at the end of a level.
Very cool!!!! The idea of gameplay is awsome!!!! ehheeheh Very good!!!
Nice concept. Sometimes cows started spinning in circles or got stuck in walls but it was still a lot of fun. Why did you opt out of audio? Also mute resets every level and doesnt mute the moos :D
Thanks everyone for such a positive feedback!
@Junber
I have opted out the audio because most of it, is from libraries. Mute button was for music only but it should not restart the level :O. We will check that out.
@Orava
Thanks, we will try to fix that.
Haha I really liked this. Funny. Neat little strategy game. Well done!
This game is hilarious, but also pretty hard!
I love the concept, nothing more to say, well done!
The tutorial is very confusing since it tells you the wrong controls (or I have something weird set up). The tutorial tells me to select using RMB, and move using LMB, but the game works the opposite way. Also, it's confusing if you leave the spawn button selected since you can't select another drone.
Despite that, I can see a fun game here. It's a funny take on the classic physics repellor mechanic.
Well done, fun Game! I liked the nice Idea and Concept.
I enjoyed playing this.
Pretty good game overall! The herding mechanic works nicely, and the game is pretty entertaining :D
@RoryD
Sorry for that, gonna fix it asap. I should have double check it.
It sure needs more work and fine-tuning of details, but meh - it's a gamejam, and it definitely has that special gamejam spirit! :)
Interesting mechanic, first game I've seen about herding and using livestock as a weapon. I also like the name, clever.
Did not handle scaling of screen in the web version. Interresting idea and fun to play for a while.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Fun Game! The Web Versions Resolution sadly doesnt fit on one of my Screens entirely. Still nice Idea and Concept.
I enjoyed playing this.
