Baby Cow Launcher

Baby Cow Launcher flips the farm story around. The farmers are the villains here — greedy ones milking cows for profit — and you play General Cow, whose plan to stop them involves launching baby cows across the field at their structures.

It is a physics game at heart. Each level is built from objects such as crates, glass and windmills, and the terrain has its own physics, so a shot that knocks one thing over can bring down the next. The baby cows come with unique abilities, and choosing which one to use on which obstacle is most of the strategy, along with power ups for tougher spots.

There are more than twenty levels. For all the slapstick, the description pitches it as relaxed, suitable for an afternoon sit-down session, and that fits: it is a puzzle about angles and order, not a reflex test.

1. Look at how the farmers' structure is built.
2. Pick a baby cow with the right ability for the job.
3. Aim and launch it at the weak point.
4. Use power ups and clear the level in as few shots as you can.

Aim for the supports, not the farmers. Taking out a crate or a pane of glass at the bottom lets the whole structure do the work for you.
