Fair simple little coffee-shooter. If I had one main complaint, the point at which the screen scrolls is pretty close to the end, made me worried I was going to walk into the sheep :p

Solid Attempt. I like the background music, makes me feel sleepy :-) I don't like how the screen moves, I can't see where I am going. Also, I find it very hard to aim at the sheep because I need to run towards them to fire in the direction.

The background music is good. It's really hard to aim, and it would probably be better if the camera kept focused on the character rather than scrolling when the character got to the edge of the screen.

Hard to know where you are shooting and agree with Dragon XVI about the camera. But otherwise fun game and nice concept.

Add pointer where is current see direction, so player would be easier to aim.

Hm, the download was flagged by Avira Antivir as infected with "TR/Dropper.Gen". Not sure how to proceed here. Probably a false alarm? Anybody else seeing this?

Interesting take on the theme, I like it! It is odd that the sheep can go through walls and their shots cannot.

I also found it hard to aim, but this is a fun little game.

Its hard to aim the coffee cups. I like the music though, kinda enforces the fighting sleep part.

Yep, it seems that avira really flags the exe as Dropper.gen, but that's false positive. Most likely avira doesn't like gamemakers way of building exe files?

But none of the other scanners react to the file:

@sawyerWeld: My intent was to make sheeps use path finding to go around walls, but the a* algorithm I managed to whip up, sucked badly and caused the game to become just boring. And on the other hand, if sheeps could shoot through wall the game got too hard to play at all :)

Great music! The aiming reminded me of Binding of Isaac

The aiming has already been mentioned but I think one of the problems with it is that it seems to be slow to aim in the direction that you're trying to aim in. Other than that it's a nice game.

top score for audio, i loved that track :D, aiming is really hard, and the camera tracking was behind the player instead of in front, but i guess that is what its like when we feel sleepy :D im falling asleep thinking about it.. zz

Pretty simple but I like the concept. I think it might be better if you keep switching the placement of the coffee room every now (because I find it a bit too easy to just camp there and hurl coffee cups like no tomorrow). Also is it me or does the player character look a lot like Brock from Pokemon :P?

Fun little game! It's a bit hard to aim without taking hits since you have to move towards the sheep at the same time. :(
