Well, I think MY game is perfect...

Gutter

Are the wall affecting the wolf at all? He can get trough them like a hot knife in butter... (nice accentuation on the theme in the instruction. lol... subliminal isnt it)

The wolf made me laugh and laugh, definitely the high point of this game :)
Technically, it crashed on exit.
Full points for construction and destruction, though I guess it would have been nice for the fence to play some part in the game W.R.T the wolf :)
Full points for your sheep too.
Sadly the gameplay is lacking, there seeming nothing really to do (creating fence and destroying it are the only interaction I have, and that has no outcome on the game).
Also, it never ends :)

Exciting, don't know how to win.

Smirk

Cool game, little motivation though, not a whole lot of strategy is involved.

The concept is cool, but there's really not much you can do... If the wolf really wanted to eat my sheep, he could just go after them regardless of how many fences I've built... So it seems that there's little to actually do in the game :{

I love the wolf... both the chainsawing and the munching. And actually the wandering around is amusing too.

However, like some others said, there's not much point, since he doesn't even slow down at fences! I realize the idea is to fence the sheep into a place where the wolf isn't, but... the wolf moves completely at random. So not much help there. Maybe I just don't know the strategy.

Also would be good if you couldn't build fences right on the sheep.

Great soundfx. Got construction, not destruction (for the player, anyway... well, you can blow up the fences... hmm... this theme just made no frigging sense). Got sheep!

Kuja

Is that wolf rabid, or what :D

Hehe, the wolf IS great. :)

There isn't much you can do gameplay-wise. The sheep move slowly and randomly and the wolf moves quickly, randomly and through all obstacles. Maybe I just don't get the idea, but seems that no matter how you place the walls, it's pretty much just pure luck.

Very funny, great chainsaw sound and some nice animations. If the bombs could hurt the wolf I think that would have made a big difference on gameplay.

The wolf was funny and the sounds were amusing, however, didn't seem like there was anything to really do since fences wouldn't even slow down the wolf and once you've penned the sheep in, there's no way for them to escape.

There are sheep, you build stuff and blow up stuff. The wolf attack is cute and the sounds are "innovative". The window was too big for my display and the graphics suck! But it made me grin...

matricks

Sorry but I can't understand how you should keep the wolf away so gameplay isn't very good.

elak

Bloody hilarious graphics! Esp. the wolf. Gameplay is pointless, since the wolf doesn't care noticeably about the fences. Big fun for the moment, though.

LordCovenant

Well, I have nothing to add besides what has been said... You should have given more thought to the gameplay, you could have a winner with the chainsaw wolf thing...

Jolle

I really didn't understand what kind of stratagy you should use. And why would I like to destruct the fences? I just placed as many fences as possible around the wolf all the time and got 85 in score (+5 sympathy points ;).
Actually, it was quite fun, and the part that was most fun was when the wolf ate a sheep (does that make me sadistic?). It was a very neat sound when that happened ;)
It also crashed every time I closed it :(

Thenend

The wolf eating things is funny but not much gameplay. Maybe if walls were more consistent or something.

Slate

Nice work for just Saturday.

Sorry, but it doesn't seem like a game just yet. You can interact, but it doesn't seem to matter. It crashed on exit. The game screen was taller than my display :-(, and the sheep and wolves didn't seem to do color keying on my machine.

Overall - 2 - I weigh heavily on fun.
Gameplay Innovation - 3 - Nothing new, but nothing sub-standard either
Fun - 2 - Most of the fun is watching the wolf. Building fences or blowing them up doesn't seem to do anything.
Graphics - 3 - The cool wolf animations pulled you back up to average. The screen is bigger than my display and I was getting no color keying on the wolf or sheep sprites
Sound - 4 - Probably the highpoint of the game. If you had music that didn't stink I probably would have given you a 5
Technical - 3 - Nothing grand nothing awful, so average score
Gameplay Theme - 3 - You have construction and destruction, but it doesn't seem to matter so that knocks you back down to average
Cosmetic Theme - 4 - You have sheep lots of them and they figure into the game
Completeness - 2 - Sorry it crashes on exit and doesn't have much interaction - feels incomplete.

I couldn't figure out how to stop the wolf. Just building a hojillian fences wasn't enough. The wolf was very funny, though. Like a tasmanian wolf. Sound didn't work for me

MattB

The game was really cool at first because I thought you had to lure the wolf over and then blow up fences to kill him, but once I realized that that was impossible, the whole thing seemed kind of pointless. I never got any points, but the graphics and sounds were good.
