Game Review: Mosquito & Cow

Here is a cute, quirky and FRUSTRATING game from petums.

You play a mosquito, and in each level you have to try and get your lunch from a funny little cow!


Look, he's so cute! And you should see it when he runs : D

You must complete various puzzles to make the cow snooze off so you can drink his blood. A worm pops up at the start of each level to give you a brief hint of what you need to do. If you get stuck there is a mini-game for each level (this is often almost harder than the level!) which will give you a (sometimes pretty cryptic) further hint. There is also a little star to find in each level. As mentioned above we found this game frustrating, but I guess Mrs Ferrét was pretty hooked, and determined to finish it!


The gameplay seems to lose a little with occasionally rather touch-and-go collisions which can make the teeth gnash a little, but overall this game is a lotsa fun! The graphics are just beautiful. They start off pretty much in black and white, and a little more color is added into later levels. Best of all, when you reach your goal and drink the cow's blood the screen slowly fills with a soothing red.  Mrs Ferrét loathes mosquitoes but even she was thoroughly into the vibe of this pretty, pretty game.

Play Mosquito & Cow
