How does your game fit the theme?
Stormy Herd embodies the theme 'Calm before the Storm' by placing players in a peaceful environment where they must manage and protect animals. As each storm approaches, the calm atmosphere turns tense, and players must act quickly to save their herd before disaster strikes. The contrast between calm preparation and the frantic rush to safety perfectly captures the theme.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all of the code was written from scratch. Some assets, like sound effects and textures, were sourced from free libraries, while other assets, such as the animal models and storm effects, were custom-made for the game.

Pretty cool game, the graphics were nice and the gameplay was pretty smooth, the camera movement was a bit annoying would be better if you could just move the camera with the mouse and maybe add an arrow in the how to play ui since I didn't know you could scroll to get more instrustions so I was pretty confused in the begining. The music also got really repetitive and annoying really quick but overall it was a solid game, great job!
haha,what a funny game!The gameplay is fantastic and thematic, and the art and music are excellent:)
Love the animation at the start!
Cute little game! The graphics were very nice and I enjoyed seeing all the cute little animals
Nice Game.
thanks for checking my first game hope you like it and i already rated yours that was soo good.
I had the same issue lots of comments here, this would be really nice with an example tutorial on how to save animals
thanks for checking my first game, you can check "How to play" menu in main menu bottom right next to leaderboard
Cute Graphics! The clicking and ui feel a bit, for the lack of a better word, floaty? does that make sense?
Good game!!! This game would benefit a lot from a simple tutorial. The music also sounds short and for long playthrough can become quite repetitive even though its good. The graphics are cute. I liked that I could zoom all the way in. Lost a run coz I was watch the animals do their thingxD
Kudos!! Made a good submission.
How do I save the animals, and how do I get points?
The art is very beautiful and I liked the concept. but I think because of the camera perspective it is difficult to move the animals between islands. Additionally, the physics are somewhat clumsy, although I understand that may be because it gives it a more comical touch.
Music is fun haha.
Despite all the above, it's a good job! :D
Cute and great-looking game, pretty polished! That said, I'll be honest, I have no idea what I am doing or how to play the game... like sure I can select and give move orders to animals, but what good is it when they are trapped on those tiny islands? Perhaps could use more controls explained. Otherwise hilariously good, especially for a first-project!
Thanks so much for playing my first game! I'm really happy you enjoyed it, and I apologize for any issues you encountered. There’s a 'How To Play' menu in the bottom right of the main menu, next to the leaderboard. As for the story, the animals are trapped on tiny islands because a powerful storm shattered the land into fragments, leaving the islands floating on the water. Now it's up to you to help them survive and find safety!
Game has potential, but I had a hard time figuring stuff out since there's no controls list anywhere in the game or even in the description. Music also gets pretty repetitive.
I really liked the idea and it fits the theme really well! i struggled a bit with the camera but other than that it is a solid game!
Cool idea. The art looks great. The music gets repetitive. Overall, good work.
Well done! I really like the style and the overall feeling of the game. The music is nice at first but becomes annoying real quick. It would be nice to have an option to rotate the camera (maybe i just didn't figure out how?).
Thanks for rating my first game! You can check the 'How To Play' menu in the bottom right of the main menu, along with the leaderboard. I forgot to add a controls tutorial, but you'll find some info in the menu. You can also rotate the camera using Q and E."
Your game idea is pretty cool. The theme fits very well and i love the art style. Good job!
Interesting idea. Though music sample is a bit too short so with looping it gets repetitive quickly. Really nice art and style. Good job overall
Enjoyed the assets and overall vibe from your game. It took a bit to get the hang of the controls but overall, good work! Congrats and good luck!
Nice little game you’ve got there! Didn’t realize you could move the camera at the beginning but figured out right after. Keep going you’re doing good!
Nice game, the title screen is very funny !
