Very difficult to play because of my AZERTY keyboard :'(

Also the game was extremely zoomed in to the point of being disruptive to the gameplay

I like the graphics and nice sound :D

Also I think there's a small where the shepherd doesn't move to your mouseclick if you are too far away from him?

Developer

I have never heard of an AZERTY keyboard. How do you play like normal games? Are you remapping everything? But besides that, yes i am aware of the shepherd walking bug and im sorry that the camera caused inconvienience :(

Submitted

cool game, great sense of exploration.

Developer

Thanks a lot! :D

I love how the pet companion controls the camera

Developer

Thanks! I think its a pretty unusual approach. But seems like it worked out :D

Solid effort! I had some difficulty getting the sheep to go where they are supposed to, which I ran around to try and find but didn't manage to. The enemy wolves had a clear advantage with their walking through the trees lol
Visually was very nice.
Sound was relaxing.
Controls were actually fairly responsive.

I also couldn't find a way to close the game itself. I think you guys did great for the span of time, and with those above mentioned kinks worked out and a slight increase in sheep speed, the game could be pretty fun. ^^

Developer

Thanks for the little review. Imo our designer and our composer did an amazing job! It was pretty difficoult to get the controls right. Like getting the mix of "you can control/ push the sheep" and finding a way to north. I already increased shepherd and sheep speed before the release. Imagine it with half the speed O__O

My sheep kept getting killed! Controls are a little tough. But I managed to get a few of them to the northeast. Nice visuals and music!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Well yeah. I wasnt sure about the controls... But i hope they werent too "tough" :D What exactly you didnt like about them? Sharper? Or was it that shepherd pathfinding buggy thingy XD

Submitted (1 edit)

I felt it was difficult to move the sheep along (putting the shepherd in front and running the dog behind to try to guide them) -maybe it is the pathfinding! And the shepherd being offscreen made it harder to guide the sheep

Oh yeah i know what you mean! Maybe it could've been nicer to include like a split screen: One for the shepherd and one for the dog.

The graphics are soothing to eyes of the beholder, with the combination of the music it creates a relaxing game. 

My sheep kept getting killed.

I was not sure where to go while playing. It was also hard to move the shepherd while also herding the sheep. They would often be offscreen. 

Overall, good game.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yes even i didnt made it to the end with all my sheeps :D I think my best was 1 sheep XD I had 4 before entering the labyrinth. Well they didnt wanted to come with me so i left them there :P

Huge fan of the art style you chose, and I think you pulled it off well! Music also seemed to fit nicely. Fun game, thanks!

Developer

Thanks a lot :D

Developer
