some responses...
1) the effect on running is actually what really got me. i was kinda confused as to what your Point was for a bit outside of figuring out the goat eaters live in forests... then i tried to run from one with some sheep and oh no.
2) i got A rank in three tries (i died very quickly my first time cuz yeah, i thought i could Courage the sheep). i didn't use Courage once that last time, and i wasn't sure there was an S rank so i didn't exclusively dog goblin my way through
3) yeah ankle melters were iffy. i only saw them once (likely due to dog goblin proliferation) and just used Blizzard.
4) i will agree that the routing was w/e for the two western sheep, but i really liked the north-eastern sheep because it's got tons of mountains and a HUGE forest between it and the ranch. seeing the big path around the forest on my second try was what made sorta put the whole game together mentally
i like this one! while i guess i agree with your personal concerns, i think for a one-hour sketch its a fun idea executed well enough to 'get it' and enjoy. TAKE THAT
