Basically it's a ripoff of the classic Missile Command, but with cows. Also, the first game I made in Game Maker from scratch (that is, not a tutorial). Bombs rain down from the sky and target your poor cows. Your job is to protect them as long as you can, although there is no way to "win" this game; you're just trying to get the highest score possible before you lose. Many people have told me my game is too easy, and I'mm inclined to agree as you can fire countermeasures as fast as you can push the space bar, even though it deducts 5 points for every shot. Anyway, the game resembles the classic arcade game Missile Command, in that your shots explode at the point where the mouse was when you fired, and the explosion can destroy enemy bombs, whos explosions can destroy OTHER enemy bombs.

UPDATE: Here are the new features.
- Score display on the game screen (you can see it even in fullscreen mode)
- Score gain/loss bubbles everytime you gain/lose points.
- Buttons on the opening screen for viewing and clearing highscores.
- Red X's appear when you click. These are where your bombs explode, and they no longer all dissapear if you HIT one of the enemy bombs. Instead, they dissapear after a short time limit.
