App of the Day: Got Cow?
Got Cow is colourful, playful, and – on the surface, at least – ever so slightly heart-breaking. It’s the debut solo release from Dave Miller, who spends his days working as an artist at Relentless, in good old Brighton.

It wasn’t the first game to use this kind of mechanic, of course, and it won’t be the last, either.
