Great concept. Fun at first, but no reason to play more than once. I liked the perspective. Music was pretty good, but didn't fit the game very well. Helicopter noises were funny at first, but got annoying. Not sure if it's a bug or a result of running out of time to program, but the game just "hung" after I won the first level. I had to ALT+F4 out. Overall a solid entry.

You did a very good job on the graphics side, the movement of the sheep looks great and the buildings got a lot of destruction phases.
The game could need some more strategical elements, now all I do is destroying one building after the other and taking down these flying trumpeters if they get too close occasionally.
I could hardly hear the background music, but maybe that's just my soundcard (although I checked it's on max volume).

I love those sound effects :o)

This is surprisingly good! I don't buy the construction aspect, common problem there, but the destruction is wholesale.

There's a big big problem with the hit detection on the sonic beeeee, which really hurts my enjoyment. I also wish you could completely finish off a building, instead of leaving it as a charred husk (especially so then you could walk through where it was).

I'm _extremely_ impressed with the sheep sprite... 8 ways, with animation! The rest was okay, but I'll definitely give it a good graphics score.

It would've been more fun if it was faster paced - too much slowing and stopping. Maybe being able to move while attacking or something.

I like giant-monster-destroy-city games.

Cool idea. Graphics pretty primitive but effective. I don't want to know how you got the explosion sound.

Couldn't build the sheep... It went straight to the city destruction part... That part was fun! :) So, no construction points, but plenty destruction ones... Graphics are nice, and some sounds, although they get irritating... :) Got lots of problems with the collision detection, though... Sheep got stuck a lot...

Not bad. Getting shot and stopping outright when attacking is kind of annoying. It took me a while to figure out that I was to shoot the buildings a few times to kill them. Not much contruction, but none the less. Not bad.

The sound effects are awesome.

Cool game, great idea. No construction?

Great concept!!! I felt like my sheep was too slow, didn't like having to wait 4 seconds per building to really demolish it.

I heard this weird sound, I thought maybe it was the sound of choppers flying but then looked at my health and it was almost gone.. that was a machine gun sound, right!!

The art style worked perfectly for this type of game. If the construction part had actually been finished this could have been like the old Ghostbusters game in reverse.

I sort of missed the construction part... I guess you didn't have time for it. I would've loved to build a mutant sheep. :) The city destroying part was pretty cool, although collisions with the buildings weren't straightforward. Also, the helicopter sound was funny for the first time, but exremely annoying thereafter :P

Fun, too tough, and more replay value than most. Again, hard; getting destruction points for taking out helicopters would've been nice too. um... no construction, I like the graphics and the music; gives it an odd feel, the random map thing is cool. Good entry, except for the lack of construction.

ShredWheat

only complaint is, hard to tell when the sheep baah will hit the choppers or not

mfassett

Don't know what to say that hasn't been said. I've always liked city destruction games, and if the construction portion was complete, this would be pretty cool.

jovoc

Ra-ta-ta-ta. This was a lot of fun. I liked the music & sound effects and the sheep ray. It did seem kind of slow. I didn't get the construction part, but destruction by itself is fun.

It looks good, but as with all these games, add a readme so one can understand what is needed to play the game, or understand why some things are as the are. Very many ppl havent added a readme. All you ppl, add a readme! It doesn't take that long.

UberHaxor

The game seems to be missing the game itself, I found it very hard to affect how well the enemies can shoot you so the game was more like a movie. The graphics vere OK and the city looked nice, but the sound effects were really annoying after few minutes of playing.
