This is the most realistic alien space cowboys simulator I have ever seen, I just had to buy this game. Such a cool idea! Now I just have to figure out how to play it on an emulator. :)
We took another look at the game in the new version 1.1 and this time we even made it to level 2. Our German-language review can be found at 03:25:10. English subtitles are also available. 🙂
Once again a great show! Thank you for giving Tango Zero a second chance! You did really well - in outer space we often say "It takes two to tango but humans never gets past level 1" - are you sure you are 100% human? ;-)👽🛸
Great game with a crazy story & gameplay idea and very innovative controls. Unfortunately, despite all our efforts, we didn't make it to the next level. Our German-language review can be found at 03:23:39. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
First and foremost thank you for a great show! And thank you for featuring my game!
A few pointers - to complete a level you need to have +1000 points before time runs out (a voice is saying 3 minutes... 2 minutes... 1 minute to let you). You actually got very close ;-)
Second point - every action costs fuel - I saw that from the second time you played you had the beamer on the whole time - that costs a lot of fuel and should only be used shortly when directly over a cow. The second the cow gets locked-in by the beam you can release the fire button.
Third - The one who controls the gun also controls the shield. By pressing the joystick up, you engage the shield so that no bullets can harm you - however - shield cost fuel - so use only short bursts.
With these hints - you should be able to get to the next level - featuring submarines! Watch out - that level is tricky, but there is a strategy that helps you if you can figure it out. Next level is Panzer train - It helps a lot if you've watched a movie whose title rimes with 'dope'.
Again, thank you for a great show - it also allowed me to dust off my german - which is where I will have my summer vacation :-)
Thank you so much for all the helpful tips. We'll show the game again in the next "RetroVision - Plug & Play" show, which is our usual standard livestream. Another colleague will probably be there as a second player, so we can give it another try. ☺️Just in case you happen to be spending your vacation near Cologne in August, please feel free to visit us at Gamescom, the world's largest gaming trade fair. We could potentially showcase your game there for a large number of visitors. You can find us in Hall 10.2 in the "Retro Area." 🙂
Would be absolutely fantastic if you would show it in Plug & Play - also remember that you can press 's' on the cowboy screen to start the game in one joystick mode - but two player is more fun!
Always wanted to see Cologne - I might take you up on that :-) Gamescom is supposed to be awesome! Would be fun to host a competition where teams of two fight for the Tango Zero hi-score!

At least with my colleague, I'm not so sure anymore. One minute he's French, and the next he's "Udo Lindenberg." 😂🤣
Completely forgotten to tell you: we have published a nice little article about your game!
https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2026-04-00081-EN.html
I’d be interested to know how many users ended up on your site via our article compared to other coverage...
Nice one! Thank you!!
Let me know if I can provide any metrics!
