Cool idea! Found controlling the god a little tricky, but I am just using keyboard. Can't get past disc 3, unfortunately, because there's one sheep that just slides off right away and I can't reach it in time. Not sure if I'm missing something?
Fun one! Wasn't sure if I'm doing it right though, sheep are spawning at the same spot, and I'm trying to move them to the upper part of the disc, but still fail because of no time :) Graphics and music are good and create overall mood for the game!
Fun game, unfortunetally I don't understand level 3, a sheep spawns next to the border and slides away. The game is pretty fun a the fact of balancing a disk of sheeps while being a somewhat shepherd on turtle is very creative. The controls on keyboard are kinda hard, I would imagine seeing this game on a mobile device using the gyro to move the turtle. Anyways good work!
Thanks for the feedback, @sebastian-lague @killtolive @martenscedric. Looks like the problem with level 3 is caused by a physics issue in Unity WebGL, so I have removed the WebGL version on the itch.io page. The downloadable version does not have this issue, I hope you give it a try!
Really nice idea! I love the concept and the theme interpretation. Graphics and sounds are really nice too. I played with keyboard and I found it playable enough to enjoy the game.
Fun and creative game! I really liked the concept and it was really well made for a compo game! The controls were a bit tricky for me, even with the controller, but other than that it was really good. Well done!
A super simple concept--and I mean that in a good way--that works q2uite well. (You seem to be missing four elephants, but you literally couldn't include those because of _balance_ reasons, I get it.)
I don't have a controller, so I had a tough time balancing my sheep. I didn't make it past the second level, and there was no indication of different gameplay afterward so I gave up. I like the art quite a lot, and the music was nice. The rotating main character and the ticking sound effect when he moves started getting on my nerves a bit.
Good job, makes me regret I didn't get a controller yet.
This was a good one! 3D assets, cute models, good music and solid sounds, everything very coherent, good and innovative game idea. Super impressive for a compo entry.
I wish the herder was less of a wimp and could push a bit harder. But I did like that he was spinning instead of some more conventional form of movement. Also I wish the sheep would not slide on the water as much.
Oh, but this is fantastic.
Basically you just push everything to the center to keep balance. I can imagine some innovations, like fences and a sheep dog to help keep the sheep where they need to be. I also would have liked to see multi-turtle levels, with a turtle stack "all the way down".
This is a funny one! The game can be a bit slow in the mid game but it has some good ideas and it's nice to see a completed game as an entry. At first I didn't understand that you were on top of a turtle, but I saw it after I lose my first try. Good job!
Excellent! Looks and plays wonderfully. Not too easy, not too hard, challenges scales up well etc etc. My favourite thus far.
A very polished game, the graphics and audio are pleasant and the gameplay is compelling. You chose a very unconventional mechanic and it works really well for the game. I didn't get past level three, maybe in part due to the god being a little too slow to react to sliding sheep. Great job, though!
Cute, with the sheeps toppling over and the soothing music :) the mechanic is truly original. Did not work with my controller though (thrustmaster dual, always pulling in one direction) so I needed to use the keys. Very nice!
Very hard game. Mechanics are fun and it looks and feels great. Nice work!
Nice idea for the theme. Controls felt bad, but I didn't listen to you and tried to play with a keyboard! Funny graphics which worked surprisingly well. The water looks really funny :D Well done!
Really liked the mechanic, the graphics, and the audio. I also liked that you didn't have to give a long tutorial to introduce the game. The controls however felt a bit strange, especially with the rotating animation on the character. All in all, good job!
Really nice concept and fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNW6-tGfc3E
