Lasso | The Cowboy Bull (GDKO Round One & Two)

As Lasso the Cowboy Bull you'll bullrush through levels filled with killer cacti and treacherous jumps as you bounce off your lasso to pull off acrobatic stunts beyond the ability of any other bovine.

Originally made for GDKO, a game jam tournament hosted by Xanderwood.

Round 1 Task: Create a playable character with a unique ability.

Round 2 Task: Create a 'toy' for your character to interact with.

HTML Update
- The HTML version contains rooms for both round task submissions.
- The tutorial is still included for jam participants who didn't play in Round 1. Also Lasso has some new moves.
