Good game, shame it is so difficult from the beginning ...

Nice slow motion explosions :D

Cool game! Funny that by protecting your sheeps you must shoot sheeps away, haha. I found it hard to keep the wolfs away by running around the fence; the wolfs were way faster than me. But still good game!

lukethecoder64 2015-04-20 14:08

Great game, but quite difficult - I'm sure that it would be easier if I could see where the wolves were coming.

leo_p_mahon 2015-04-20 14:09

I enjoyed the challenge, those wolves were hard to catch! :) Cool modeling style!

anokta 2015-04-20 14:15

awesome models, very fluffy! :) it's a bit bizarre to shoot sheep to protect the sheep though. haha

dvdking 2015-04-20 15:31

Hero moves way too slow! It is impossible to get all the wolfes in time, just because the hero is so lazy...

Graphics and sounds are nice though.

Good game. Hard to play the difficulty level is to high at the begining.

tasteslikefuture 2015-04-20 16:05

Fun game. The narrow view field makes it quite challenging, but overall it seemed well put together. Well done!

nicklink483 2015-04-20 16:29

I love the choices on 3D models, and the particles when the wolves explode. I'd love to be able to move around a little more quickly and maybe zoom out so I can see wolves coming on the other side.

All in all, awesome! I had fun!

kinzata 2015-04-20 16:35

Love the models! I knows it's been said but I'll jump on the comment train, it's a bit too difficult. Either zoom out the camera to allow the player to see the wolves coming, or allow the player to move a bit faster.

tayl1r 2015-04-20 18:12

Tricky!

sadsmile 2015-04-20 18:47

Is it still allowed to change the movement speed? Would be a thing of 5 min and i realy have to change only one variable but im not sure if this is allowed :D
BTW: Thx to everyone who played my game <3

tobiasnl 2015-04-20 20:13

The game looks great, nice models, but the gameplay was a little flat. Nice entry though!

freeholdgames 2015-04-20 20:16

Overall a fun little game. The main drawbacks:

1. There was no way to strategize your location. The wolves seemed random, so if you were on the wrong side of the pen you simply couldn't. defend. If there was an indication of where the wolves would come from, you could eliminate that unfair randomness.

2. There's no reason not to spam your sheep, so to try to mitigate randomness you can fire sheep off towards where the wolves come from. I'd rather strategize than spam!

smokeylope 2015-04-20 20:20

Graphics are great but the gameplay is a bit too heavy on luck.

gruhn 2015-04-21 00:22

Good game. With some interesting visual feedback. Congratulations.

paperblurt 2015-04-21 06:25

How the fudge do people manage to these cool things?!

dvdking 2015-04-21 11:32

I replayed it with your fixes. And it is now a very playable game! Shame it wasn't like that in the beginning.

nppro93 2015-04-21 15:55

Love the art! I've always wanted to get into 3D modelling. Simple, clean, and funny; great stuff!

codeblockentertainment 2015-04-21 16:44

Very fun indeed! I liked the concept because it's silly but still makes slight sense. looked good too but it is very difficult

praron 2015-04-21 16:47

Infinity exploding sheeps looks a little mad, that's fun c:
But player are so slow and sometimes you just can't reach a place to beat a wolves.

wevel 2015-04-21 16:48

Nice idea, although a bit repetitive.

smilingcat 2015-04-21 16:50

Nice artwork, though the game kicks my butt in about 15 seconds.

mouch 2015-04-21 16:53

Nice game! I like the graphics very much. But it definitely needs some balancing.

And I don't think the farmer knows how to protect his sheeps correctly:D

jaredsartin 2015-04-21 17:13

Fun! A bit tricky, but I like it. Pretty graphics!

shatley123 2015-04-21 17:50

Nice little game. The webGL version was stuttering a little, but that might just have been because of webGL.

goadrich 2015-04-21 19:37

Your sheep look awesome! The game felt too difficult to me, I could not move around enough to kill all the wolves in time, only got to wave 2. Should the sheep in the pen disappear when the wolves attack them? Not sure exactly why I lose, it is because too many wolves at the sheep?

sadsmile 2015-04-21 19:48

@goadrich Perhaps try my "casual"-version (i should chage the name, shoudnt i) I increased Movement speed and zoomed the cam out.
Also, if i had the time left, the sheep in the pen should disappear when thw wolves attack them, but i didnt have the time to make that happen.
Also you are dying because the sheep get attacked by the wolf, in the top right hand corner you can see a sheep symbol, which shows you how many sheep are left, but you can also die if the wolves attack you (the healthbar is hidden, so that the focus of the player is on protecting the sheep) I hope i could help :)

daredevildave 2015-04-21 21:12

Looks nice. Really hard :-( Not sure if I could ever get past Wave 2

maral 2015-04-22 09:32

Very nice games, the controls sucked a bit (when going left, I was going somewhat left and bit downy), and also the wolves are extremely fast, it's impossible to cover it from all sides this quick. I would be much better to zoom out a bit and make the wolves slower. Anyways, brilliant idea and lovely! graphics.

springcabal 2015-04-22 11:29

I died very quickly, was fun for a quick play, nice idea for a weapon but I couldn't think of any real strategy for its use. Would like cuter sheep.

careless 2015-04-22 15:48

Being from Wales and obviously having a love for Sheep I took much pleasure out of saving them!

Really loved the top down 3D, its made me actually want to make a 3D game myself. The trees, sheep and all other models looks fab, nice audio to go with it also.

I think Worms did a Sheep bomb?

Anyways great little game lots of stars from me

kristof 2015-04-22 17:46

Simple, but still nice game. The movement of the player is way to slow compared to the speed of the wolfs, but you seem to have fixed that already. Besides that, I like the graphics. Some more sounds would be cool.
Nice work.

codecranker 2015-04-23 00:37

Nice game. Love the graphics!

I didnt like the fact that the player moves slower than the wolves. A lot of time is just wasted in travelling around the fence and then you loose :(

oadt 2015-05-07 12:43

Cool style, but the game is a bit too tough! Here is a game with a similar idea, maybe its interesting for you :) http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=34792

yuigoto 2015-05-11 15:21

Nice idea and execution! The graphics are simple, but they convey the message quite well, and are cute! The style reminded me of a show I used to watch when I was a child (don't remember the name) that had 3d animals rendered in a pretty simple way. :3

The audio is nice too, it's fine already as it is, but if you had more time I wanted to see what you could have done with music. ;)

The main character feels a little bit slow (or the wolves are too fast) so I think, maybe, putting the camera a bit more further away from the playfield (so we can see where the wolves come from) or progressively making'em faster (or, maybe, starting with wolf cubs, then bigger wolves?) could balance difficulty more, dunno.

We can think of lots of things to put in any game and it will never end! :P

But, nice work with the compo, really! Enjoyed your game pretty much! :3
