Core Breakdown!

A nice little game. Few problems that I had while playing: For some reason I got stuck to the end of a dialogue the first time I launched the game. It didn't happen second time so I don't know what happened there. The sheep herding minigame was playable, but I got a little frustrated when some sheep were just outside the red box and when I tried to herd them, they would just overshoot the box from the other side. Sidenote: Should you opt out from the audio ratings since you don't have any audio? It's kinda hard to rate it when there is none :) And sorry if I leave too harsh ratings, I tend to do it sometimes :)

Hi! What a nice idea :) I also loved that you have a storymode and npcs :) The mini game Idea is also nice and challenging however this sheep minigame was driving me nuts, do they have to completely be in the red square? because nothing happened for me and then I gave up :( I liked it however :) rated :)

Scene transitions and talking to NPC's is well done. The graphics and animations are weird, but do a good job in giving mood to the game.

The spider extermination mini game is cool! I's cool to predict the movement that spiders will do before killing them with the laser!

I couldn't get past the sheep-herding minigame. This one sheep was always going out of the center square. Eventually I could make it go into the square, but nothing happened...

Thanks for all your comments! Would keep in mind next time!

I finished it. You could have mentioned anywhere that Q is used to trigger conversations, I pressed ALL the buttons :D Also the game shouldn't have pooped out an endless stream of sheep. Putting one set of sheep into the red zone was already enough. All in all a solid entry, given that you used java and not a game engine.

Your game lacks a bit of juice though, so I am dropping my favorite video:

@dennyrocketdev Thanks for playing! Just wondering, did the help screen not pop up when you started the game?

@firstdream erm, I might have missed it then :D Like most people, I don't like to read anymore these days.

I had a rough time with the spider challenge^^. I didn't know what to do after I finished the two challenges? I tried to fix the spaceship but I was told that I was still missing parts - the sheep guy and the spider guy both just thanked me for my help and all the other NPCs also didn't want to give me the missing part. Not sure if I missed something or if this was a bug. Last but not least, the game crashed in the middle of a dialog on my first play.

But besides the issues I had, I enjoyed the minigames and the story. Overall the game felt complete, which is a very good thing. Next time try to add some audio as this will put some live into your game :) good job :thumbsup:
