The intro is awesome. The game seems to lack in construction like many other (I guess you're building combos?). The sound and music are really good, it'd be nice if there was some more gameplay.

This game is not too bad, but it is pretty repetitive. Unfortunately I don't hav esound running yet, so I can't experience any cool sheep screams of death or something. :( I game gameplay a 2 for the repetitiveness. I gave fun a 3 because I am entertained by running over sheep, especially while driving backwardly :).

I gave grahpics a 4, and thought about 5. The fast, nice rotatino of the tank was impressive. This also contributed to the Technical score, which is 4. Because this was the only super-impressive technical display, I stayed at that. Full-screen scrolling is good, too.

I have gameplay a 3 because while there is a lot of destructin (of sheep), there is no construction. 2.5 rounds up to 3 in my gradebook. I gave the cosmetic a 5 because it's full of sheep, which was something like the cosmetic theme....

I gave completeness a 3 because, though it is complete, there isn't quite enough substance. I tell ya what, I'm upping it to a 4, because it was complete for what it was. It's still missing something, but it's pretty complete now that I think about it.

To improve this game, I would start by better differentiating which sheep you are and aren't supposed to kill; it's hard to tell. Then I would add a lot more weapons, very damaging ones. Then I would add to the physics of the tank so you could slide through turns and lay out massive herds of sheep. ha ha ha!!! That would be most cool indeed. :)

A good offering on the whole.

Nice intro. Why is the thank shooting from everywhere but the cannon?

Repetive gameplay - the timer and combo counters didn't seem to do anything. There was certainly no progression. The graphics were nice, but there seemed to be errors in lining them all up. Also, the terrain didn't appear to do anything, certainly not to the tank anyway. No construction.
Nice intro though.

Looks nice, moves and controls smoothly. Shallow gameplay though, with no construction and no real challenge. Is it even possible to loose/die? Too hard to get combos and no progression in difficulty.

Good Game. More story and plot

Nice game! Running over the sheep with the tank is great fun... I love the smooth scrolling. Downside: it's missing construction. :{

Funny thing I just noticed: you can sorta steer your bullets. Is that intentional?

Pretty good... Most annoying music since 1942 (not the year, the NES game). Cool intro. Seriously lacking in a point, since it seems the explosions DON'T hurt your tank, and getting combos is very much a matter of luck (rare luck!), since the sheep are spread pretty wide. And I second the concern over just where these bullets are coming from!

Suffers from themitis like almost every entry (including mine): no construction!!

Cute style, cartoony. It's a pretty good job overall.

I like the rotating ness, but levels seem a little barren. Smaller more packed levels may be better?

I liked the concept of running sheep over in a tank, however, there wasnt much construction / destruction involved.

Great intro and the tank looks good. Also, the tank controls felt good. The music gets annoying really quick. :)

No construction and I got bored pretty quick with just driving around and shooting. The graphics were nice and clean, but it was difficult to tell the good sheep from the bad sheep.

LoneStranger

Did't see where the construction part came into the game.
I also don't understand how you can gain points by shooting the terrorist sheep, but lost points when you ran them over. The game was fun for a little while, but I lost interest. Maybe if the terrain blocked the tank, the player would have to steer to get to more of the terrorist sheep. Music was inspiring in that military sense.

Very playable, i got a slow FPS and there is no real construction in it. The obstacles should block the tank, the rest is fine !

LordCovenant

A bit repetitive... I couldn't see the intro, though... But I had some fun running over the sheep... Doesn't seem to be complete, though... And I couldn't shoot! :(

Good presentation overall, but the gameplay doesn't really fit the theme and without any real goal to reach, it gets boring.

Well, it could use a map. And some kind of counter of how many sheep there is and stuff. It could also need some other maps. Cool intro thingy ;) It is also nice with a game with music, but honestly, this music is very very annoying. And the only bug i found was the shot might be spotted in the other end of the screen sometimes. And I didn't manage a single combo :( Oh, btw, what other keys? I can't say I found any... or did you mean the Esc key? And lastly, where is the construction? I found destruction and sheep alright, but no construction. But I guess you could see that killing zombie sheep is a constructive thing to do ;)

General:
The intro was cool, I like the SNES Mode 7 Zoom stuff.
The game could use a status display of some sort. I wasn't sure if I had killed all the bad sheep or not, or where they were. Most of the level is plain grass and you can get lost. Not sure if there is a "you win" condition. Bushes should probably slow down the tank and then be "squished bushes", and the rocks should probably stop the tank. It is funner to squish the sheep instead of shooting them.

Breakdown:
Overall - 4 - Pretty fun, and it is a game, so above average.
Innovation - 3 - Pretty standard fare, nothing really new gamplay wise. However, most all the games are that way so average score.
Fun - 4 - It is pretty fun for a while. A bit above average
Graphics - 4 - Above average for programmer art.
Sound - 4 - You have sound and music, and the sound effects are pretty good
Technical - 4 - Knocked you up a notch due to the mode 7-esque scaling and the rotating tank.
Gameplay Theme - 3 - Destruction of Sheep but no construction just like almost everyone so average score.
Cosmetic Theme - 4 - There are sheep and lots of them. One point extra for working them into the game a bit.
Completeness - 4 - You have an installer (needs and uninstaller by the way) and a title screen which pushes you up the scale, but you need some status displays and probably more levels and a win condition if not present which knocks you down a bit.

Good stuff, I would probably put it in the top 10.

Ka-Boom. Next contest we need a "Intro" category for sure. The map was cool but it didn't seem to have any effect on the sheep or the tank. This was fun and looked great.
