A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Hamburger? Get ready for hum-burgers. The cows have flipped the script and you're on the wrong side of the food chain. You've been captured and thrown into an arena, and the only way to survive is to do the cows' dirty work. Hunt down wild humans in the forest, taze 'em, drag 'em back, and sacrifice politely deliver them to your bovine overlords before the day ends. But the cows are hungry, and demand only grows. Feed and water your fellow captives guests, upgrade your pens, farms, and gear to keep up, and pray you hit quota — because falling short isn't an option.

Hilarious concept. Has a lot of potential!

looks super intriguing... I'd love to play it, but I only have Linux PCs, so let's see if I can get it to run...

We have "Herd" your frustrations and have now made a Linux download available. Unfortunately we do not have a machine with Linux installed to test this on, so fingers cross everything downloaded ok lol! - Cade

testing the Linux version ... it's working well! . and the game is extremely fascinating ... I'm very intrigued by the 'Horses' aftertaste ...
