Gameplay
I can't say that the gameplay in this is fantastic. However I can say that the gameplay is certainly very mediocre. Although there are some minigames included. It still used the DBS, but there was a nice little feature called Fusion where both charactors could fuse into "Mad Cowpork" Although most charactors when they aren't moving anywhere still walk on the spot, that should maybe be fixed

4/10

Graphics
Yes, yet again another RTP soaked game with a splash of Mac and Blue and the odd Zelda chipset here and there. Now maybe i can stop with the water metaphors. Not only were the chipsets mostly RTP but they were also used badly, there are many places where chips are just placed wrongly and graphics just done badly, generally. But there's just too many examples. If you're going to use RTP make sure you use it well. It's a shame that not only has Astale used RTP but he has also used it badly.

1/10

Sound
All RTP Sounds, maybe some more sounds should have been used in the game. For example in the Fire Cave Mountains maybe there should have been some sound when jumping across the cliffs.

A lot of the music wasn't RTP, there was some music from other things, ie Chrono Trigger
3/10

Story
This is one of the games strong points, if you ignore the I-Wanna-Smash-My-Face-In-With-A-Hammer spelling errors and grammar.

The story is, you play as an "Oink Expert" called "Rezha" and a "Cow Hunter" called "Farhad" who together form a "Dynamic Duo" who apparently are great heroes who who never made it into the "Great heroes wall of fame"
Some of the humour also should maybe be fixed up.

Most of the "funny parts" tend to fall flat on their faces...such as many bizzare and random cameos who seem to ask why they're in the game a heck of a lot.

"Doh, you ask why Homer here?"
"Homer don't know too,
Doh!! Why am I here?"

3/10

Unquitity
Well although the majority of this game is RTP and I don't think a single pixel was made by Astale,

But you can't deny that a game about a pig and a cow is original. And some of the spelling and grammar in this game is certaintly original.

3/10

Conclusion
If this game was seriously worked on I'm sure it could become a very good game, i can see that Astale has spent a lot of time on the game, but maybe he needs to spend more time checking through spelling and grammar (i can only assume that English isn't his first language) and maybe using some less overused graphics and just some general errors fixed up.
