Hey this is not baaaaaaa-d at all. Pretty fun herding game. Such a good dog.

w1n5t0n 2016-04-19 05:34

Had a lot of fun playing the game.

I think this was creative and clever. I do really like your graphics. I think they are cute.

The embed on the compo page is broken for some reason, but the itch.io page works fine. Otherwise a really unique interpretation of the theme :P

very nice graphics and interpretation of the theme, haha. laughed at the farmer's comments!

I really enjoyed this game. Really nice idea and fun mechanics.

Wow, this is such a unique idea for the shapeshift theme! Niiiice work!

starpixie 2016-04-20 05:52

Looks great, super polished. Plays well. Music and sounds and menus are good.

Solid entry, this is an awesome idea and great gameplay!!

Now I know what a sheep dog feels like: entirely compelled to create order among these little white blobs of disorder.

I know it doesn't really fit the theme but I love the play on words so much that I'm not docking you any points.

Nice work, very charming

weeping-rupee 2016-04-21 04:10

Great puns and fantastic graphics!

This game looks very polished well done I loved the graphics of the game.

So cute! Top-notch graphics and it's a lot of fun to play.

For those who are missing that shift can also mean, uh, shift something from one place to another...it can also mean "shift something from one place to another". ;)

Very funny :D cool idea and lovely assets

teamkuru 2016-04-23 16:35

Mood and presentation are nice. I think that the controls could feel better if the dogs move quicker...

aaranos 2016-04-23 17:52

Really good graphics. The gameplay is good as well. There's a LD entry that is a 3D version of this.

acuity 2016-04-25 05:51

Interesting! Somehow most of the sheep spawned in the last shape (Triangle) and I got it in 4 seconds...

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

knason 2016-04-26 18:45

This was a really great entry, I played it for a long time, mostly because i was so bad at the beginning :-), but I had fun playing it. Great job!

jk5000 2016-04-26 19:12

Great idea and great game. Well done.

joror 2016-04-30 18:49

Great take on the theme, and nice straightforward gameplay. :) Played quite a bit!
What I missed was a more obvious effect of the bark - it seemed to no directly do much. A score (x out of y sheep) somewhere or even just at the end of a shape would also be cool to have.

nihilaleph 2016-05-01 18:24

Great theme interpretation! I really liked the concept, graphics and audio! I just suck a bit, I find it very difficult to control ^^; I don't quite know what is it... I think it just feels that the sheep movement is not quite what I'm predicting... And sometimes I accidentally barked at the farmer xp

Anyways great entry!

neilcorre2k6 2016-05-02 00:07

haha, cool! :D the puns made laugh a bit :P

sabina-lis 2016-05-04 04:22

nice game, i liked the dog animations :)

commanderstitch 2016-05-05 04:16

nice mood, mechanics, i wanted to eat them all.

ddrkirbyisq 2016-05-05 08:02

I am so happy this exists. :)

For future reference, when you have a keyboard-navigatable menu, it would be nice to try and make it more obvious which menu element is selected via highlighting or a cursor, etc. Otherwise people are just going to try to click on your choices. *I* didn't, because I can read, thankyouverymuch, but other people will =(

rock-eaters 2016-05-06 00:57

77240 for 178 sec :) know i hat sheeps ^^ but its a very cool game with nice concept :)

bsoddevguild 2016-05-07 18:18

I like this game. It's amazing.

chaserbrown 2016-05-07 18:41

Great job! The asthetics were great, the music was perfect, the gameplay was fun, and the concept was nice!

realitycheck 2016-05-08 19:52

This was fun. The graphics are really nice. The music and audio is well done, and captures the mood of the game. I kind of wish there was a little more to it than just herding the sheep into different shapes - maybe throw in some birds, or something that could frighten the sheep and have them run away as you're trying to group them... but, what is there is really well polished and it certainly kept me entertained.

Very cool and very innoveative game !

I never could have guessed anyone would make a game like this! The idea was very good and worked very well.

Pushing the sheep was sometimes a bit difficult. I didn't feel like barking did anything, I would have expected the "green wave" to push the sheep close enough in the direction your barking... But I didn't notice a difference between scaring the sheeps normally and barking. It could have helped in making some movements less frustrating. (There always is those three sheep that really don't want to help you).

Succeeding a level didn't require have a perfect shape-shift : that was good because it would have been very painful other wise.

The graphics and sounds were well done. Good job to you artist(s). I don't really have anything to say, the sheep are drawn in many different angles, and the music is cool with varied sound effects...

I remember having a level that ended a little too quickly, maybe some shapes aren't rendered like they really are in the code... I don't know, I just remember it felt strange that I already won with so few sheep visually in the right zone.

Good job to this team ! I hope I'll see you again in the next ludum dare !
