Not sure if it's a bug, but I literally couldn't catch a single one. Even when they were trapped in a corner, it was almost as if the player was colliding with the reindeer, but not actually capturing (scoring). Aside from that, I do like the chase mechanic, though it'd be nice if the reindeer either went a bit slower than me, or even slowed down over time (got tired).
The goal is to chase them out of the corral, not to catch them. Sorry, I should have tried to make that clearer.
Strange experience at first walking around, having no idea what to do. Only later realized the goal was to push them out from above.
Would probably be more fun with a much smaller corral (2x2 screens max), and far less blockers and having the reindeer move around on their own. Toss in a time limit or other things and it'd be a nice little game. Also stick to 8 named reindeer (Dasher, Dancer, so on) and perhaps have the entire game see how long it takes to get all 8 out, and that's that. Short and sweet.
Solid entry. I didn't enjoy it, but I am biased -- I can't stand herding things in games.
Wow, that was kind of hard! heh. The buggers don't want to leave. I like the subtle checker snow pattern.
Hahaha, so that's how it feels to be the grinch =P
Nice concept, but herding multiple at once was near impossible.
Woo got one, then I ran out of time. :-(
that man is really a true evil guy ! XD
the concept is interesting but it lack some good design.
on the title screen, i searched the play button, be aware of the contrast blue & black, they don't work together.
I quite like herding games, the whole thing worked well and was pretty solid
Nice idea. Played a bit longer than I thought I had!
The movement of the reindeer felt pretty good after a little bit. I couldn't see where where to take them at first, but it became clear after a bit.
As others mentioned, a few tweaks could really help - less obstacles, roaming reindeer, and the ability to herd multiple reindeer at once. Ah, but what can ya do?
Good. It would be funnier if there were fewer obstacles.
Nice, a de-make of the mini-game from Twilight Princess.
I had fun with this one, good job.
I think the area is to big for this type of game. Secondly, the fleeing of the reindeers is too... fragile? I mean, it is very hard to push 2 reindeers to the open gate without losing one.
Good idea, takes a little while to herd them out the corral though. Perhaps a smaller corral, or some small additional random movement for the reindeer.
hehehehe very addictive for me o.o, great job!
The idea was alright, but the presentation could've used more work.
It would be nice if there is different types of reindeer in order to introduce different levels of difficulty. Controls are ok but I glue on rocks and trees.. which is a little annoying. Good work anyway !
Didn't really strike me as supremely evil, couldn't quite get into this game sadly :(.
Yeah, it took me a minute to understand that I was getting them out of the corral, not catching them.
The main menu doesn't have the best matching colours, especially the buttons; I couldn't read what was written on them.
The game was pretty solid, though it would've been nice if the reindeer were moving on their own too and if Santa actually came on screen when the time ran out.
Not a bad game, it just needs a lot polishing.
I quite like the slap-dash graphics but some of the images on the menu seemed a little blurred. I liked chasing the deer around and a goatee beard is pretty evil.
Average.
Very difficult to herd them out. I got one in the time allotted. Maybe if the size of the corral was smaller to start out. Also to repeat the comment about the black on dark blue was hard to see in opening screen.
Not all that much to do, could have used a little more work on the collision and herding as it was really pretty iffy, easy to get stuck on stuff.
