Virtual Buffalo may look like a pet simulator, but don't be fooled: This bovid is always seconds away from death, and needs all your concentration just to survive another day! Press buttons with matching colors to complete a slog of split-second minigames. But be warned, the controls keep changing the longer you play! Will you be able to remember which button is which when they're all grayed out and switching places with each other?

Instructions:

Supports Circle Pad, D-Pad, ABXY, or Touch controls. Colorblind Accessible Mode: From the main menu, press Down while holding L and R. Pause: Tap the Timer circle. (Takes effect between minigames.) Music Note Button: Toggles all music Speaker Button: Toggles all sound Striped Button: Toggles scan line overlay Lightning Button: Toggles flashing light effects

Oh man a global leaderboard would be amazing, alas alack. I definitely encourage you to share your top scores anyway. I know we're on the honor system, but I'm curious nonetheless as to what top scores are out there. Thanks for the kind words!

okay i love the concept and these sprites are adorable awesome music ... you're amazing.
Much obliged! I can't take credit for all the music. A friend wrote the lullaby, and the music that plays during Easy Difficulty was a collaborative effort. So I'll pass word along that you liked them.

This is the game I would show aliens what SmileBASIC can do. It's like WarioWare and shows how they're still twists you can do. :)

Be advised: After updating to version 3.6.0, Virtual Buffalo will cease to work properly. Changes to the MML system have broken many of the timing-based functions. A panic patch is underway.

Yeah, I updated and played, and when I went on hard and medium, it froze the timer at some parts.

It detects version number and applies the fix only when necessary.

What changed in 3.6? Is this documented anywhere or did you find it yourself?

It's tied to the changes made to BGMCHK(). Was using it to keep the music and minigames synced up until the music ended, but after updating it's too efficient. So minigames run for 16 beats instead of 8. Nearly done with the patch.
