What do you think?

Finally taught that b***h a lesson. Never kill the cow. COW IS LOVE.

i tried to kill the cow but it kept telling me it was hungry

First playthrough: I killed the cow. No questions asked.
Second playthrough: I killed the wife. No questions asked.

I'm still not sure if I won or lost.

Well...she stopped nagging me, and the cow is still alive. Win, win, I'd say.

GET UP AND KILL THE COW YOURSELF YOU LAZY B***H

Game Soundtrack

1 song

Don't Kill the Cow loop
 

A simple sidescrolling critical game that questions the importance of goals and authority in games. There is only one way to win the game: ‘don’t kill the cow’, but is winning the game worth it? How much do the simple phrases like ‘you win’ and ‘you lose’ mean to the player?
