Sweet idea and cool graphics! It's missing some sounds or music tho
Really cool puzzle platformer. Nice graphics. Some audio would be nice like Beebo said.
I really liked the game!
Some thoughts: would be nice to be able to see where the thrown sheep will land. Having to guess meant losing my 4 sheep in the second stage all too quickly. XD Double jumping was a cool idea but it wasn't reliable and sometimes didn't go off, which is why usually I advise having a simple jump that feels good to control over 2 inaccurate jumps. I had fun though, and would like to see the idea being taken further after LD!
Also, why mixed feelings? It's perfectly normal not to be able to finish a game completely, and having bugs/missing features/no sound, particularly in your first time. You did well! Just don't give up, making games is tough but very rewarding.
I also think there are some missing sounds. However, I think that the rest of the game was amazing! The art was great, and the game was pretty fun too! Good job!
Very cool game! And made on Java, there aren't many Java games here.
This game reminded me of an old Noah's Ark game for the NES, look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_Adventures
In it Noah stacked multiple animals and carried them, much like the sheep in your game.
Good job making this! It seems very polished! :)
@tex-killer You don't happen to mean that this game is as terrible as that one, right? (just kidding)
@notpresident35, but Bible Adventures is a classic! Noah on steroids! :D
Thank you all for your kind words!
I agree with all of you, that I should have put some music and sounds into the game. This is the major part I'll be working on for the next Ludum Dare.
This game was also a lot compared with @tex-killer's mentioned Noah's Ark Game, but I have never heard of it before. Except not being that good... I may check it out sooner or later...
Again, thank you for your critics. I will work on them for the next Ludum Dare.
