Interesting take on the theme, and fun game :] well done!

Submitted

Super fun! A small issue is that sheep often stuck at the edge of the map. In my opinion, stuck in corners of barriers is ok, it can be seen as a part of the puzzle. But stuck at the edge is not, as you can do nothing but walk away and wait. But overall, it's a good game and I enjoy it very much!

a fun game, great music! i felt like i was way too bad at the game. sometimes it felt like the dog wouldnt stop chasing the frisbee which was kind of annoying, but still a great game that really fits the theme.

The theme is well respected and I really feel out of control, nice job! Also, kudos for the music., the only downside was the difficulty (too hard! Or maybe I am too bad ahah)

Nice job with this game! It looks and sounds great, typing the package together well. It definitely was a little tough when the sheep get stuck in corners or along walls. It was a little light on the theme with just the frisbee aspect which wasnt too major, but I still like it! Great job!

Cool looking and nice idea. But the ball really makes the dog difficult to control.

Nice work fellow sheepdog jammer! :)

I love how the Frisbee forces you to lose control (the jam theme!) and chase after it. Overall I think the idea is pretty neat and can see this expand into a much bigger / full on mobile game. The sheep AI was a little frustrating at first and got stuck in corners quite often but was challenging once i got the hang of it. Kudos for pulling this together for the jam!

Nice! I found it a little too difficult, mostly because of the sheep getting stuck in corners and against the edge and going out of their pen after I get them in, but it's pretty fun and I like the music

I also don't like the sheep getting stuck in the corners, but I couldn't figure out a good working solution in time. I still have a lot to learn :)
I think I might take the next week to look up stuff and try to find a good solution. Thanks for playing!

Yeah, my friends decided to help out on the last day and make music for the game (with little to no experience), and they did an amazing job.

Nice idea!:D For me it was a little bit difficult:D

Cool concept. The sheep could use a more sophisticated movement patterns, they get stuck in corners and on edges easily and behave strangely in relation to the dog

Developer(+1)

Yep I totally agree! I tried to stop sheep from getting stuck in the corner with some conditions, but they don't work too well. I realized later I needed a more robust pathing, but I haven't learned how to do that yet! Thanks for playing :D
