So, the options on the title screen. There's "Cow Caper", which is basically the actual game. More about that in a sec. There's also the option to customise your alien. The customisation options are actually surprisingly detailed. There's a slider scale of colours, so you can choose pretty much any colour you want for your alien, even going so far as to give him a head a different colour to his body. Oh and you can change his head shape too, from 4 options. Not bad eh?
On to the actual game then...let's steal some cows! Why is this alien stealing cows anyway? Who knows. The control for the game are pretty simple. You pick up cows using the circle button, and then walk back to your spaceship with the cow in order to steal him (or her, i guess!). Simple right? Except the fact that farmers are randomly hiding in places where you least expect them to be. When a farmer decides to show up and protect his cattle, you have to pick up (using circle) and throw (using triangle) cabbages (or rocks, but cabbages are more hilarious) at him in order to turn him away. That or sit in the grass (using X) and wait until the farmer gets fed up of looking for you.
Is the game fun? Yes. It's not easy though. Sometimes the farmers can get bloody annoying, although i guess that is really the point of them - it wouldn't be any fun if all you did was pick up cows. Actually it would...But still you see the point. It's made more annoying by the fact that if you put the cow down too many times it dissapears and you have to try again with a different cow. In the end though, it provides a satisfying amount of fun for those measley few pennies you paid for it. It's not as easy to reccommend as Bubble Trubble, but it's still a neat little game.
