Cute and fun little game, but it needs more wolfs... and maybe less water haha

jfreax 2014-12-08 02:39

Nice game concept and got implementation. Graphic looks super. Sound - yeahh. UI!

Unfortunately level 3 does not start :(
Firefox 33 on Gentoo Linux.

..i love the graphics style and the gameplay..nice :)

mrspeaker 2014-12-08 15:47

Wow! This is flippin' delightful - great aesthetic, really polished, and cohesive... this could totally a great mobile game.

I get the same as jfreax though: level 3 doesn't start, throwing some create.js error in the console. Fix it please!!!

renatopp 2014-12-08 16:25

Thanks @jfreax and @mrspeaker. I just fixed the bug. You all can play on firefox!

I hate Sheep now thanks. Really great game graphics are amazing gameplay is amazing its really well done for 48 hours.

minibobbo 2014-12-09 02:43

This was a lot of fun. I'm a big fan of anything that uses flocking algorithms.

renatopp 2014-12-09 02:49

Thank you all, guys

silentnight 2014-12-09 03:11

I love this game. The sounds, graphics, and everything was great. Its really cute and simple (Not in a bad way at all). Excellent work!

error031 2014-12-09 03:12

cool game!

muramasa 2014-12-09 03:14

I found it pretty good on most aspects. Only thing was the music. It's repetitive, yes, but then it stopped and never repeated ever again. Also I find sheep sounds kind of annoying. Though you varied them.
Wolves were a nice addition! First levels were long and tedious. Wolves gave the game what it needed. Thrill.

mrspeaker 2014-12-09 03:15

Yah! you fixed it! I really wanted to click on a wolf. This should totally be a mobile game... do it, else I will ;)

renatopp 2014-12-09 03:23

Thank you guys.

@muramasa, totally agreed, I hate my sounds and musics, I always have this same problem. I really need to study more on this topic. Agreed with you about the levels, however, the time was short to make them better =((

@mrspeaker, I'm considering this, however, I need to think in more interesting puzzles =)

mrexcessive 2014-12-09 09:47

Hi there. You made a great game, love it! Have sent it to a farmer friend for reality review, have you seen the Bill Keir LED sheep video ... ? Nice Baa sound... too your flock be true... Cool!

renatopp 2014-12-09 13:25

@mrexcessive Cool! Let me know your friend's impression! I recorded the sheep sounds, I don't really sure if I can use sounds from videos, but I could totally use for a full version of this. Thank you!

ggraca 2014-12-09 15:19

Very nice graphics and sound. I agree that it needs more wolfs

msquirrel 2014-12-09 15:22

Holy shit, this is like, the cutest thing ever ^^, nicely made, nice concept.

swiftillusion 2014-12-09 15:25

Love the idea, and the super cute art and audio goes really well with it all. Had fun playing it, great entry :)!

jonah1nine 2014-12-09 15:28

Wow! A very nice game! I'm a fan of autonomous AI! You implemented the boids so nicely. So simple yet difficult. The art is quite pleasant too. Great job!

zazlo 2014-12-09 15:35

Like it. Would be fun on tablet, especially for kids.

alfadur 2014-12-09 19:17

Impressive job! I kept expecting wolves to jump out of the trees though, would make a lot of sense. :)

renatopp 2014-12-09 20:26

hahhaha @alfadur, nice idea.

Thank you all!

germanunkol 2014-12-10 13:45

Awesoem game. The mechanics works much better than I anticipated. Very well done!!

All levels worked for me.

budaniel 2014-12-10 15:09

Fun concept, great execution. I love the clean visuals and the controls are spot-on.

threef 2014-12-10 15:23

Good job! That was really fun.

2014-12-10 15:48

Very nice. If you wind up working on it more, I'd say that they should stick together a little more. And the fear of the mouse starts too close and ramps up too quickly. I feel like you should be able to push them slowly from a little farther away without breaking the herd. You might search for "sheep dog trials" or "herding trials" if you haven't already, e.g. <http://youtu.be/bpjP3mxv21s?t=1m12s>. Other challeges you could add would be shedding (splitting mixed sheep into black and white groups), or singling one out. Well, you probably know all this already. Nice game. More!

allanolivei 2014-12-10 16:09

Beautiful graphics and good execution. Congratulations.

atombrot 2014-12-10 17:40

Very nice game. The connection to the theme is probably a bit thin, but other than that very well implemented. I loved the sound effects of the sheep and the wolf :D Was sad it ended after 5 levels.

redoxkun 2014-12-10 21:24

Nice graphics and quite fun, very good job!

alpha_rat 2014-12-10 21:26

Very nice entry!
I love the sound of the sheeps, very cute

dunin 2014-12-10 22:26

ok, it's a simple fun cute game... But so cute... and there baaaaaas...
relaxing cool game.

renatopp 2014-12-11 13:34

Thank you guys!

@Joshg, WHOA! Very thanks for your tips, I couldn't really study these videos due to the time, but I watched some, only to do small adjusts the sheeps movements in game (just to looks more like a sheep and less like fishes). Your idea for puzzle is awesome too. I will save your comment to a **possible** full version of the game. Thanks again!

soulgame 2014-12-12 01:21

Very nice and cool :) I'm especially impressed by controls. I first thought it would be very annoying to controls sheep by repelling them with my mouse but you actually managed to somehow make it smooth. It gets a little bit annoying with large amount of sheep (the level with 7 sheep) but it's really okay. Nice sheep voice acting btw :D

renatopp 2014-12-12 02:28

Thank you @SoulGame!

jaycee23 2014-12-12 05:46

It was so cute. Just. SO CUTE. I loved it.

lynx 2014-12-12 05:49

The amount of cuteness in this game should be illegal, post-jam more levels for sure!

tsabanski 2014-12-12 05:52

I want more of dis.

Please make more of dis.

So aesthetically cute. LOVELY gameplay. This will be perfect for touch-screen controls, guiding the little sheeps around with your finger.

This is a game that produced many high-pitched sounds from my vocal chords. It is completely adorable and I was confused and disoriented when it ended, because I simply wanted MORE. :D

Please make moar of dis.

fergusontv_ld31 2014-12-12 15:08

Awesome audio, fun. Good job :D

klianc09 2014-12-13 18:17

Nice to see that boid algorithm being effectively implemented. Kudos for that. I now remember reading it a long time ago, but never actually got around to implement it. What I still had roughly in mind about it, influenced how I wrote that AI in my LD entry.

Besides that, the sheep are really adorable, I like how they are all basically circles. Still would have liked more levels with wolves, because they punish you, when you have your sheep scattered around the level and don't move them all at once.

tipyx 2014-12-15 12:30

Very very beautiful and nice gameplay, awesome you do this in 48h !

6downstudios 2014-12-16 02:01

Really clever, and quite fun! Art and sound is great too, all around a really solid entry. Kudos!

gread72 2014-12-16 05:24

Fun Fun

sakergames 2014-12-16 15:11

99 puffy little sheep on the fields,
99 puffy little sheep,
Let one drown, pass it around.
98 puffy little sheep..

Nice game, I love it :)

renatopp 2014-12-19 12:33

Thank you all!

papygaragos 2014-12-29 21:00
