Interesting idea, sheep management is really hard. But player movement is so slow it is frustrating.
Thanks for comment, you're right. I made rebalance. Now it's more playable, not perfect but much better :)
funny little game. The music doesn´t fits for my taste. Struggled at figuring out how to cut the sheeps. Liked the tutorial page.
i like the simple and cool art style , keep it up and don't forget to check out my game too :)
I have mixed feelings about this game. Form one hand, it works well, gives challenge and overall makes sense. From the other hand, I felt bored in 5 minutes. Game fails to provide you a goal or any motivation to keep playing, except for the process itself. Graphics is fun, I feel your pain here, but color scheme makes my eyes bleed.
Overall, it is pretty okay)
Thanks to all for your feedbacks! :)
@TuTaraTuta True, it loses it's drive. It lacks something like dramatic curve what keep the player in action (Btw. It's biggest problem for most games here). Solution could be time limit for example.
Anyway, next time it will be better, I hope :)
Nice menu screen and tutorial, game is funny, too. I dont boght sheeps, because i have to feed them and take their wool :smile:
This is one of my favorites for now. The gameplay is simple and works well and it's just so fun to manage spending's! I really like the look of the game too :) The only thing that bothered me was the collision with the sheeps thta seemed a bit low. Overall a great game! Feels like a flash game I would have played when I was younger ;)
Creating an Empire of sheeps ? Definitely a game for me.
Great game!
I would suggest to have a button or something that would trigger an appearance of the starting information when needed, the button combination for actions wasn't the most classical choice. Cool art (especially the wolves) and fitting sounds!
Thanks for feedback again! :) I'm glad that game is interesting for you all.
@oskardevelopment Thanks! :) It's good how this 5 second hand-drawn character graphics is working, some games here have high skilled artists but it is often counterproductive. But next time I must spend more time for scene itself, e.g. background and colors.. it's really strange.
Ingame info was planned, mistake. I like more these old style with SPACE and ALT, CTRL from DOS-era than "WSAD" + "E" but I agree it needs less keys and better binding/mapping.
Cute, relaxing game. Gets you into a routine, a trance of shearing, selling the wool, buying new sheep, punching wolves in the face, rince, repeat. I guess living on a farm makes me a natural. This is as far as I got until now: SHEEP.png:
Wife + relaxing = child is true wisdom
oh, and I love the different looks for the kids and sheep
RIP all the fluffy bois that died because of my negligence and wolves
@Shodanon That's impressive herd :) I stucked on similar score and got some ugly fast wolf's packs. It trains patience :)
Nice graphics and nice gameplay idea. This looks like a spinof on a clicker game, where you have a character come up to things instead of directly clicking on them. Lots of potential, however you should fix hitbox bug, it's really the biggest showstopper for the game. Sometimes when you try to cut wool it works and sometimes you're just cutting the air.
The scissor collider is difficult to reach sheep. If you create another way to cut sheep furs, I think it will be better. Overall, the game is good. Good job.
Well, it's confusing.
Hitbox is working correctly and is big, you must stay below the sheep (Ok, this does not make much sense, but it match with the scissors position). If you hear the sound of cutting so you're in right spot. You can cut only amount of wool displayed as big number above sheep, also you need energy (bar under player character).

Cool game and idea, fun and kinda relaxing, The one thing tha can be improved is the aiming method being below the sheep it's a bit cluncky
Good game. It took me a bit too much to understand the mechanics because it wasn't clear where the collider of the scissors was. A bit of music is always a good idea to create the mood. The game gets repetitive way too soon but for a compo it's not that bad. Anyway, good entry :)
Nice game you have here. SUPER WELL DONE!
