\"\"<\/a>Help a cow grab all the gold in this action game that looks like it came from the 80s golden age of arcades.\u00a0 This game is kind of a mix of Sonic the Hedgehog (there\u2019s even loops on one stage), combined with the platform gameplay of something like Miner 2049er.\u00a0 Cash Cow DX is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

The object of the game is to collect all the gold in 2D stages that are about 2 to 3 screens long.\u00a0 When you do, you can move onto the next level.\u00a0 Each stage introduces a new obstacle for you, like loops, ziplines, trampolines, and more.\u00a0 Avoid touching the enemies because if you do, you\u2019ll lose a life and be sent back to the start of the level.\u00a0 Lose all lives and it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 You can collect a couple of power-ups. \u00a0The pickax gives you temporary invincibility and lets you destroy enemies for a short while.\u00a0 The other will raise the point value of the gold you collect for a limited amount of time.<\/p>\n

There are quite a few game modes and even a new character to play as, but you have to unlock them all to do so.\u00a0 And that\u2019s easier said than done because this game is super hard!\u00a0 Even on the Easy setting.\u00a0 Similar to Sonic the Hedgehog, you are encouraged to go super fast, but oftentimes run into an enemy because you didn\u2019t have time to react.\u00a0 Plus I felt the controls were a little slippery here.\u00a0 So didn\u2019t like this one as much.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cash Cow DX is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 If you defeat an enemy, they just fly off the screen.\u00a0 If you get hit, your cow will just say something like, \u201cOh no!\u201d or \u201cMoo!\u201d and fly back to the start of the stage.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Younger gamers may find this one too difficult, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
