I thought it was a bit hard - I couldn't even get past the first level. Those sheep just move around with a mind of their own and I can't keep all of them away from all the flowers.

Fun but very hard. lots of frantic key-mashing

Interesting game, but the learning curve feels a bit steep.

ossi 2014-12-08 08:17

That was really challenging. There were some odd cases where even when I push the sheep away they sometimes eat the flowers faster than I can react. Very cool concept though and I really like the art! Those sheep are too hungry!

Interesting idea

funkysquid 2014-12-08 08:30

Love it - reminds me of trying to keep my cat away from my houseplants O:)

bogden 2014-12-08 08:32

Neat idea, but kind of hard.

cmayhem 2014-12-08 08:38

Very interesting and fun but gonna join the chorus and say this was very difficult right from the start.

seledorn 2014-12-08 08:39

Clearly not a copy of something else but very very hard. I tried five times and couldn't get past the first level. I have the feeling that it would still be hard if I only had one sheep to control.

Ah, good, NON-minified JS :). It would've been nice to see a "source" link as well, but "view page source" is a suitable substitute in this case.

Kinda tricky, and you probably want to call preventDefault() when you handle up/down - in the embedded LD website version, up/down end up scrolling the page.

The farmer grabbing his hat constantly amused me, though :).

krisjet 2014-12-08 08:43

Funny idea, I love fact that you feel like a farmer just running frantically around pushing sheep out of the flower bushes.
I think the game could have used a tell that shows whether a sheep is going to "attack" a bush a little in advance. As it is now it feels totally random to the player if the sheep is moving towards a bush or not. I also wouldn't have created the first level with bushes in each corner, AND a big patch in the middle to defend. Give us an easy level in the beginning, so we feel like we understand how it works before we lose!

I like frantic games, but this one seems waaay too hard. I cannot handle the stress! :D

comatomatoes 2014-12-08 08:56

Thanks for all the feedback! We've added a simpler first level! =D =D =D =D

stray 2014-12-08 09:59

So funny but too difficult man :D

natura-time 2014-12-08 20:01

A little bit hard but it is really fun to play ! good job :D

mauris 2014-12-08 20:02

Very interesting.

maesk 2014-12-08 20:06

Whoa, the first try was harder than I expected. That, or that evil sheep was damn fast :D I'm glad they don't move as fast as you, so button pressing like crazy worked to almost teleport! :P Great game

ramonparaiba 2014-12-08 21:54

Só hard. Its no bad, its cool. Just need a listel balancinho.

toadfrogs 2014-12-09 06:49

Those sheeps are hard to monitor...
The game's fun by the way :D

businessclient 2014-12-09 17:27

Fun but hard

spartanicecream 2014-12-09 23:33

A nice and addicting little game. Pretty fun!

hippolyta 2014-12-10 02:04

Nice idea, I like your graphics! But too hard for me.

nsadie 2014-12-10 18:05

That was quite clever and innovative, but pretty hard! Fun graphics! I enjoyed it!

omaha 2014-12-10 18:05

Some audio would go a long way to making this most engaging.

I had a hard time in the first level (took many tries to beat it). The next level seemed almost impossible.

drgeraud 2014-12-10 18:14

The concept is really cool, but it lacks a bit of feedbacks.

bkgh 2014-12-11 17:07

Very challenging, but fun non-the-less!

playvue 2014-12-11 17:09

I agree, very interesting mechanic, but def too hard.

ynots 2014-12-13 06:47

little hard...
nice game..

xtremeive 2014-12-17 19:57

It's surprisingly fun. I have to admit I underestimated the concept until I realized how dumb those sheep are. And before I knew it I retried, retried and retried.

"Just get away from those flowers!!! AAAAAHHH!!! STOP! NOOOO! BAD SHEEP BAAAD! Ok that's it I'm having a Mechoui tonight.".

pht59x 2014-12-27 21:43

I moved the dude randomly and it kept telling me "You Win!", whicht got me perplexed. I liked those sheep though.
