So crazy and fun, I like it!
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 :)
Thanks 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!
I get that completely; and I suppose it's testament that the idea and charm still come through meaning you certainly have something good going on.
Can't wait to see what you make with enough time :D
The boss fight is amazing!!!
Awesome game!
Great graphics but a little bit confusing, I like this boss fight and the theme.
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!
Thank you for playing!
It lacks in many aspects. such as menu system and sounds and control help(in game). we ran out of time, so i just wrote the controls in game's page.
Have our rate dev!... your game is amazing!
Thanks for playing!
I've already rated your game! it was really good!
The game is completely awesome!
The concept is really interesting and that joke was funny
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it!
Haha it deserved the good rating oh and please check out my game as well :)
That 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!
Thanks for playing! and your encouraging comment!
We had a bigger idea, but didn't have enough time to do them all. like menus! and i found all the sound effects and music in the last 30 minutes! :D so i missed some of the sounds...
Wow, that last 30 minutes must have been fun! It is still really cool and could definitely be expanded!
