Really fun. The teleporting around everywhere is a bit confusing, but I like it.

loren 2013-12-16 17:14

pretty unique idea, I really liked the atmosphere

great game with awesome graphics and atmosphere. Difficult as all hell.

unept 2013-12-17 02:19

Beautiful world, fitting music, great gameplay idea. I sure had trouble getting bullets before losing my ONE SHEEP. Maybe I was too aggressive? Great job!

ismyhc 2013-12-17 02:21

Great idea and love the art style ;)

angela 2013-12-17 03:04

Great art and music. I agree with Binary - "Difficult as all hell." But fun. I also love how the sheep runs toward the grass on each level. adorable.

wojworks 2013-12-17 03:31

Really well-made and looks and sounds great. This is high quality sheep.

griffin 2013-12-17 03:33

Beautiful game and great atmosphere. Feels nice and fluid to play, forces you to take risks and try to pull of lucky maneuvers with the gun and your sheep.

nickw 2013-12-17 04:23

The gameplay loop was fun to figure out. Should have named it "Pimp my Sheep"

jgpicatoste 2013-12-17 07:44

Uah, very original and fun! Graphics and mechanics are well developed, great job.

zebi24 2013-12-17 10:51

Great game. Music fits in perfectly. Awesome art style too.

backflipppp 2013-12-17 12:45

Great !

phi6 2013-12-17 14:31

WTF. How did you even come up with this idea.. sheep, portals.... rifle! Amazing art, fantastic entry, love it!

sheepolution 2013-12-17 14:55

Awesome game. Really liked it. And I got so angry when my sheep died, haha.

nikteddy92 2013-12-17 16:57

This game is awesome.
GREAT WORK.

methamphetabear 2013-12-17 18:24

@Sheepolution it's your theme, right? :D Nice game about sheep-frien-ship

daveloper 2013-12-17 20:05

My sheep is dead!

I love this game, graphics, animation and sound all very well done.
Good presentation of the mechanics through a slow build up and clear and concise text for the bits that need it.

Very nicely done.

psychomonster 2013-12-17 21:09

Nice artwork! Very cool...looks a little bit like AnotherWorld. The controls are harder to use for german keyboard layouts :D But hey after 2 minutes it was okay. Good job at all.

syawqy 2013-12-18 10:07

I like your drawing

zanzlanz 2013-12-18 22:39

This is a really amazing game with beautiful graphics. Fantastic work! I just love seeing games from you!

jdpalmer 2013-12-18 23:39

Great work on the landscapes - very surreal.

This is a well-made game, can't deny. Surprisingly addictive for its simple resource management.

As opposed to other commenters, I didn't find it hard at all, in fact it's quite relaxing. Just keep upgrading the sheep's health, stand close to a teleporter in dangerous areas and let the sheep's health drop to less than 10 while it's grazing. Also let the wolves pile up so you can take out a few with one shot.

atmospherium 2013-12-19 00:26

Great art design on this. The world felt really immersive and the gameplay really was effective at making me want to protect the sheep. I hope that you expand on this more.

buddydoq 2013-12-19 00:31

Solid entry all around, great work in every category!

thegamemaker 2013-12-19 00:41

Really nice game. I found myself slightly addicted to it and I was actually sad when my sheep died :(

jacklehamster 2013-12-19 12:38

One of my favorite, nice job on the artwork

moist 2013-12-19 17:02

Great mix of roguelike and platformer elements. Love it.

kddekadenz 2013-12-19 23:14

Amazing idea, stunning graphics and very good music! Great Work! :)

diptoman 2013-12-20 13:37

Very well made, I would've really liked to jump though! :p
The pixel art is amazing and the soundtrack hit the nail right in the head, impressive entry!

roguenoodle 2013-12-20 16:17

Loved the art, the shooting mechanic, the sheep as a resource generator, the labyrinth effect caused by the teleporters... everything! Great job :)

orangeez 2013-12-21 20:39

I loved the atmosphere and gameplay. Art reminds me of Another World - well done!

csanyk 2013-12-21 23:33

well made, but I found it to be very difficult. It's a tough economy. Liked the music.

loxo 2013-12-22 11:47

Overall a great game, only some background animations are missing. It took me three attempts to finish it. At first it seemed hard, but it gets really easy over time.

mcapraro 2013-12-22 15:58

great graphics and overall mood in the game. i loved the premise and really loved the atmosphere of it all. awesome job!

smirnov48 2013-12-22 19:33

Beautiful art, interesting idea, great realisation. Great work!... “If you please– draw me a sheep!” :)

mephi 2013-12-23 11:11

Man, your art rocks, your music rocks, your gameplay rocks, and your setting rocks! You should have called it "my game rocks"! :D It was too small though, please continue and make more levels! Congrats!

nelien 2013-12-24 00:35

Really unique concept, great graphics and music; this is one of the best entries I've played. There is some lack of diversity which harms the gameplay after a while, I think if there were more levels or content of any kind, it would make it better over time.

bitslap 2013-12-24 20:51

I have to get the ticket!

bitslap 2013-12-24 21:04

I got it! Excellent game. Song reminds me of Xenogears.

erkberg 2013-12-25 19:56

Nice idea, I enjoyed the gameplay and really liked the graphics and music. Great job!

occash 2013-12-28 20:02

nice idea! but my 'X' doesn't work( so my ship is dead((((

atombrot 2013-12-28 22:27

I like it.

lotusgame 2014-01-01 10:08

I really enjoy your game ! It's fresh and innovative. Tutorial is very well integrated, gameplay is tactical and strategic, there is a good mood and nice graphics. One of my favorite entries :)

aviktorov 2014-01-05 16:41

Top-notch game. Reminds me of 'Swords & Sworcery', 5/5! :)

seconddimension 2014-01-06 23:03

This is amazing, such a unique idea

kevinmylo 2014-01-06 23:05

I'm gonna play even after I am done rating games. I really enjoyed the tactics of the game:-)

2014-02-28 19:30

Gorgeous game! I really enjoyed it! The art is extremely well done, and the atmosphere makes this game stick to my memory :)

2015-04-03 08:20

I liked it, but the enemies were spawning way too often, so grinding for wool took way too long.
