I absolutely love your thumnail for this; it's great!
The experience itself is a really fun premise but on jumping into it I was very, very confused. Having a way to introduce the player to the mechanics and controls would have really gone a long way; for example I never managed to kill any of the wolved but I realise now that perhaps I was meant to try and knock them off instead of attack them for damage?
I also think some kind of narrative setup could have really hit home the whole comedy of it--explaining how our shephard was perhaps the last shepart in humanity banished to some floating island where he breeds sheep and tries to keep them from falling off... haha.
Fun little experience but a bit more polish would have gone a long way.
Oh and I loved the Baaaaa of the sheep falling, that did make me chuckle xD
It'd be great to hear your thoughts on my game if you have the time :)

Silence and DarknessThanks for the detailed review!
I'm fully aware of all the shortcoming, and that's because i didn't have enough time to completely implement my initial idea, due to my day job. And in the last hours of jam i thought that we won't be able to deliver anything. and it was rushed to get submitted. But i learned a lot in this jam and that's what counts!
And i'd definitely check out your game!
It took my a while to understand I can attack, or even what I had to do. But once I understood it was cool.
The graphics are really good too, and I really like how you built your game around the theme!
Good job!

No Fusions AllowedThat was really fun. Enjoyed the Blade Runner joke and found the game play to be fun with great sound effects, art, music and a really inventive use of the theme. I think some menus would make the game feel more complete and a sound effect for when the player takes damage would be nice. Overall, really cool. Well Done!
