Was very hard, but super rewarding! I managed to beat it to the end with no losses at all! It's a real hidden gem, I wish your splash art was a bit more in line with the game's aesthetics, as people would probably be drawn to it more. I'm really impressed with what you managed to create here - the simple decision to have the wolf pass through ledges creates some great tension. The sheep move just enough to make it interesting. It's like a weird sports game. Very cool!
Good luck!
Thanks so much for the support! This really made my day :)
Yeahhhh the cover is a bit silly. Sadly I didn't have the time to implement everything I wanted to do. The grand idea was to have the wolf start using new tactics as you progress through the levels, getting into Wile E. Coyote territory of using dynamite and flying in planes and other goofy mechanics, why I envisioned the Sheepdog as a soldier in a warzone!
Wish me luck on future development! Cheers!
I had fun playing this! I'm not sure the image you're using is selling the minimalist art, which I actually think works fine for the game but points off for the dog/wolf sprites drawing so heavily from Undertale's annoying dog sprite. I liked that you took the time to hand write/animate the intro/credits text. Nice entry.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I see what you mean about the cover image being not very representative of the art style and I agree. I may change it up later (I want to put a bit more work into this game down the line). Good call on the annoying dog sprite! I used it as a reference to draw up a quick sprite and just didn't end up having the time to change it up. After the fact I think it should have been a higher priority. I'm glad you found the game fun! Cheers!
