poor lil sheeps ;) A little on the easy side though...

Aha! The readme should really mention (besides the fact that this game is not so simple!) that you need to reload your sheep by going to the bottom and hitting the fire button. I was very confused for quite a while.

When I did figure it out, it's cool, because it's a ballistics game, but there's a huge fatal flaw. Since the stacks of wool are affected by gravity, and there's no target other than the stack itself, there's almost no skill or technique involved in hitting it! That's a pretty serious gameplay issue...

But ballistics stuff is fun, and better so in real time so you don't have to wait for your slow opponent. And calling for repairs is nice too.

A bit easy and boring after a few tries... But balistic games are always fun... As Jamul pointed out, you missed some basic gameplay elements in a balistics game... No real skill was involved...

No constuction? Also doesn't seem to really have much point other than racing to see who can hit the most wool. I like the way the sheep fly across the screen, though.

Why don't I get more then one sheep to throw? What am I missing here??
I will vote n/a in the categories i can not judge 'cos if this... You are supposed to get more then one sheep arent you?

The controls are confusing for a long while, and it takes some time to lift up the sheeps and fire. The idea is very good and its technical ok. There could be more arcade or action like gameplay and some more graphic and sound effects to make it more funny. But it looks complete as it is.

Anyway, i think your game hits the gameplay theme !!

I really like this entry. Flaws in gameplay but some small rule changes could really help.. for instance a contest to see who could hit the most planes with sheep would have been more of a challenge.

I liked the overall style and presentation of the game.

I like turret games like this. The reloading of the sheep is confusing at first, and annoying. The collision detection seemed pretty weird, it looked like the sheep was hitting a different bale of wool than would disappear. I liked the sound effects, it needed more tho. I guess the airplane counts as construction but that didn't seem to be really core to the gameplay. It seemed very solid, it ran smootly for me with no crashes or anything.

Good game, but a computer player would really help. I was also tripped up by having to lower my platform and hit fire to get another sheep. Putting that in the readme would have helped.

Breakdown:
Overall: - Not bad
Gameplay Innovation: - 3 - Solid but nothing really new
Fun: - 3 - I am thinking it would be funner with two players
Graphics - 3 - About average
Sound - 4 - I like the sheep sound.
Technical - 3 - Nothing new and extreme, but seems to behave well enough (crashed when I task switched once)
Gameplay Theme - 4 - The destruction is there. The Construction is a bit weak, but better than most.
Cosmetic Theme - 4 - Has sheep and they aren't wallpaper
Completeness - 4 - Extra point for a title screen
