This is a really cool game!
One thing I did notice though is that sometimes they get stuck in corners and I cannot tell if they are angry, which makes me lose health. I do like the mechanic of the baby sheep, and how you have to wait before eating them.
Nice work. I like pressing space to bark. Nice work having the sheep try to run away, but still be catchable.

Fun game! Perhaps there could be a few more baby sheep.

Simple but fun - the music and sound effects are really well done. Clever writing, too - I grinned at the "let's wolf" / "how to wolf" buttons on the menu screen. Nice work.

@lui At one point I had the ewe give birth to twins 10% of the time. It became impossible to not eat a lamb very quickly.

I was a bit confused that sometimes you can eat a ram and sometimes you get damaged, but still, 10/10 would wolf again.
Fun game! Cool how the sheep would evolve/go through cycles. I noticed that sometimes the angry rams wouldn't change sprites, so they would look just like normal rams and you would only know that they were harmful when you tried to eat them. Aside from that confusion though, I had fun - lots of sheep to dodge.

FUN! Need small update (Graphics, logic) and game for children be ready! GJ!
Easy to understand, fun to play and great sound design. However I don't really think it match with the theme.

I like the tone of the writing, and playing was nice and simple. I had trouble with running out of the screen sometimes, and maybe the sheep breeding should be a little less random, because the second time I played it there didn't seem to come any lambs?

Hey, neat little game! I liked how the big sheep spawn smaller ones - gameplay was simple to understand, and I found it entertaining to chase the sheep around. I also had to laugh about the menu buttons :P Barking didn't seem very useful to me, and being chased around by red rams seemed a little unfair, as I couldn't find a way to escape them. I also would have liked a way to refill the life energy.
I didn't see the theme very reflected in this game.
Nice game, i realy like the concept however i dont realy see the fit with the theme might just be me tho, also it was realy confusing when the sheep would hit me and when they would go into my stomach :P but overall nice sounds and nice art and nice mechanics. Also it would be a bit nice to move faster imo.

@blakemcdeezy That's a bug. The ram headbutt you when they see you with your mouth full. But the sprite doesn't change so you can't tell what's happening.
@louckousse, @blinry, @frederikja163 When the game works properly, you have to keep sheep around so that you don't starve to death, but more sheep means they breed more. When they breed they drop lambs. Having to avoid the lambs (Because it agros all of the rams around) was part of the original challenge. But, I didn't pull that off as easily as I had thought I did.
Nice game ! But it felt like it's the contrary of the theme.. The more sheep there are, the more points you get because it gets easier to eat them. Also I founded that it's was quite unfair to be punch charged directly when eating a sheep next to a male sheep. Overall nice graphics, and good sounds !
