Ausgebüxt!

For kids from 6 – and everyone who plays along

The cows are out!

Overnight the whole herd has broken out. You can’t pick them up – cows walk away from you. So you sneak up behind them, tempt them with hay and cleverly drive them back through the gate. Before the storm arrives!

How to play

You can’t pick cows up – only drive, tempt and steer them. The first level shows you everything step by step.

  1. 1

    Finger down, farmer go

    Put a finger anywhere and drag. The farmer walks that way – the further you drag, the faster. Your finger never hides the action.

  2. 2

    Get behind the cow

    Cows move away from you like sheep from a sheepdog. Run straight at them and they dash off. Stand behind them and they go where you want.

  3. 3

    Through the gate

    Push the cow through the open gate. A herd is wide – sometimes it’s easier to drive them one by one.

  4. 4

    Close the gate!

    Tap the gate to close it. Only then does the cow count as home.

Three stars per level

The cloud at the top shows when the storm comes.

  • All cows in before it starts.
  • And really fast.
  • And nothing broken.
  • Stars open new sections.

Reading cow moods

Above her head you can see how a cow feels.

  • ?Curious – all good.
  • !Annoyed – slow down.
  • !!Panic! She runs off wildly and scares the others. Give her time.
  • ♥Home in the right pen.

Meet the herd

Every cow has a mind of her own. Know them and you herd better. New cows introduce themselves in the game with a little card.

  • Berta

    Berta is the boss.

    You can spot her golden bell.

    Cows close to her follow her.

  • Turbo Trude

    Trude is fast and jumpy.

    You can spot her red headband.

    She runs off while you are still far away.

  • Hilde

    Hilde falls asleep when it is quiet.

    You can spot her nightcap.

    Asleep, she won’t move a single step.

  • Olga

    Olga nibbles gates open.

    You can spot her striped hat.

    If she stands at a gate, it opens soon – even from inside!

  • Gerda

    Gerda wants to get into the garden.

    You can spot her carrot bib.

    She can smell the garden from far away.

  • Calf

    Stand next to the calf for a moment to pick it up.

    Small with brown spots.

    Its mum follows you.

Little helpers

Each level only has a few. When you use them is your tactic.

  • Hay bale

    Tap the hay, then the meadow.

    • Only cows inside the circle come to eat.
    • It only gets smaller while a cow is eating it.
  • Bell

    Tap the bell – the farmer rings it.

    • Cows inside the circle stand still for a moment.
    • Sleeping cows wake up.
  • Bello

    Tap Bello, then a cow.

    • Bello brings her to you.
    • He slips under fences.

For parents

Ausgebüxt! is a game we give our own children with a clear conscience.

  • No ads, no purchases

    No banners, no in-app purchases, no links leading out of the game.

  • No tracking

    No analytics, no advertising IDs, no account. Nothing is sent anywhere.

  • Plays offline

    The game needs no internet – not in the car, not on holiday.

  • Short levels

    A level takes two to five minutes. Great for in between.

  • Thinking, not rushing

    A good plan beats running around. Failing is funny, not frustrating: you simply get “Again!”.

  • Play together

    Kids from about 6 manage on their own; the later levels are a fun puzzle for grown-ups too.

Help & questions

The cow always runs the wrong way!

Cows walk away from you. So go to the other side of the cow – where she shouldn’t go – and come closer slowly. If you run, she panics.

Why doesn’t my cow count?

A cow only counts once the gate is closed. Tap the gate. With coloured collars she also has to be in the pen of the same colour.

How do I get all three stars?

Star 1: all cows in before the storm. Star 2: beat the target time. Star 3: also break almost nothing, for example in the vegetable patch.

How do I delete my progress?

On the title screen tap the cog and hold “Reset progress”. Progress is stored on the device only.

Can I change the language?

Yes, with the flags on the title screen: German, English, French, Italian and Spanish.
