Very original!

Good concept, but the actual gameplay is a bit awkward, and I didn't have a second player to try it with :( Love the manual :)

This is the most polished game I've played yet! What a manual! And an actual control configuration... can you imagine??? It's also extremely unique and innovative. I'm gonna try playing it with someone later and see how that goes (although I'm the only serious gamer in the house...).

I realize it helps you deal with all the constructing, but the super slow gravity was just weird. kinda like being underwater.

The whole building thing, and the sheep pushing, all very cool and unique. I like it a lot. Supremely annoying sheep noise.

very cool. Personally I really liked the low grav control and the jump noise is perfect, I got an atari 2600 flashback, I like how you can hold down jump and go straight to the top of the structure, nice touch.

It was fun killing the sheep.

Wow! Custom controls! Irritating sheep sound... One of the best in gameplay and fun... It was one of the few I really felt like playing! :)

Judging two player games when there's no one to play them with is hard. It looks like it might be fun, but it also looks like it might get old quickly. Pretty unique idea, though.

Jolle

Well, this is a cool game, and it looks good too. I haven't tried it with two players yet though :( I also like the good documentation, more of these game should have one.

Very origional. Fun, too and the choice of go for the quick and unstable build or a sturdy slow one. It's fun with two people.

Slate

Very neat idea. The sounds are annoying... almost as annoying as the sounds in my game. Very complete.

Pretty cool. Hard to judge two player games, a computer player option would really help.

Breakdown:

Overall - 4 - Pretty fun and rather innovative.
Gameplay Innovation - 4 - Not sure why, just seemed innovative to me.
Fun - 3 - Hard to say with a 2 player game, probably average at least.
Graphics - 3 - Not bad for programmer art.
Sound - 4 - I like it. Those are pretty good sound effects, and a lot of them.
Technical - 3 - Nothing earthshattering but nothing obviously broken either.
Gameplay Theme - 4 - Almost 5, but the construction was a bit unobvious
Cosmetic Theme - 4 - Has sheep and they aren't wallpaper
Completeness - 5 - Your html manual, and control remapping put you over the top here.
