This DONUT CLASSIC just got an update, 11 years after its iOS release! :)
- Support for the latest iOS
Hope you enjoy! And thanks to all fans who've stood by Donut Games all these years.
In Cows in Space, you are tasked with rescuing cows that have been scattered across various planetary systems. Use a limited number of shots to hit each cow, navigating around planets, through wormholes, and avoiding deadly space debris. Each of the dozens of levels requires precision and logic to master.

Our Expert Score
Cows in Space is a delightful physics-puzzler that feels like a throwback to the golden age of Flash games. The premise is absurd—saving cows floating in the void by hitting them with teleportation beams—and it works perfectly.
The mechanics are simple to grasp but become devilishly difficult as you progress. You have to account for gravity wells, moving obstacles, and limited shots. The sound design is surprisingly charming, with satisfying 'moos' and space-age pings. It’s a great 'one more level' type of game that never overstays its welcome.
Features
Charming hand-drawn art style
Unique gravity-based mechanics
Over 50 challenging levels
Humorous sound effects and music
Tips & Walkthrough
Large planets have gravitational pulls. Aim your shot slightly away from the planet to let the gravity curve your beam toward a hidden cow.
Gameplays
Try to finish levels with the fewest shots possible to earn 3-star ratings and unlock bonus content.

Love this game
Tue May 12 2026 YucatecoI really enjoyed playing this game and wish it could get an update. I’m just happy it still works with the latest iOS. I was also near the top of the global high scores list, so another reason why I’d like to see it updated and kept alive!
Favorite Game, but needs a quick fix
Sun Nov 05 2023 rar745I played this 15 years ago on my iPod touch. Still love it, BUT... please make the black bars on the sides of the screen WIDER. All of your cowballs are ovals and the whole app is vertically compressed because the aspect ratio on modern mobile devices is WIDER.
Fun game!
Fri May 01 2020 Sideshow DustinAlways liked this game. Been a while since I played, but always kept it in my phone after all these years. Cool to see an update! :)
Cute Relaxing Game
Fri Nov 21 2025 lotsadogsmtI love this game. It’s fairly simple but not necessarily easy. Great if you want something G-rated to kill a little time.
Great
Thu Jul 13 2017 TommyLockeCan't believe this app was updated after all these years. 5 ⭐️.
Can’t find one bad thing about it!
Fri Apr 12 2019 ebest2000This game is so calming and fun I can’t stop playing it!
Great game
Fri Feb 09 2018 Russell raydonHours of fun. Needs more levels.
WOW. THIS IS A MOOOOOOVER
Thu Dec 10 2009 DaveDudeKingAs in Moooove over your last favorite game for this one. It's fun free fast and has some good challenges mixed into the 50. Did I write 50? Free games. That's what's called proof in the pudding boys and girls. Graphics are Ok the Overall drawing is Ok. It could get even better if they would switch backgrounds every ten levels. Something to break it up folks. AND HERE IS A BIG TIP FOR THE WITLESS THAT GIVES LESS THAN 5 stars to this game. WHEN FACED WITH TOO MANY COWS TO HIT WITH THE STARS, WELL YOU HAVE TO GET THE COWS STARS AND BALLS DOWN TO YOUR SHOOTER SO THAT YOU CAN KNOCK THEM AROUND A BIT MORE TO WIN!!!!!! Like hitting a baseball or playing pool with a moving cue ball. Try changing the backgrounds and you get a 6. For now suffer thru with 5 Stars.
