Fun little game, surprisngly polished 3D graphics.

ramanujo 2018-08-14 01:13

The game looks really great, I'm impressed. The concept is good too, and I think this could make a good game. I think the game could be improved by making the player susceptible to the rollers as well. Maybe some randomness could be added to the rollers and the sheep could move around more (even out of the safe zone) to make it more interesting. Well done :)

This was fun! Don't sell yourselves short in the description of the game. Or at least wait until the end to tell me some of the bugs or something.

I would have liked to have a funny squashing noise or something when the sheep gets run over by the spiky death rods.

I also had a ninja sheep that spawned on one side of the level and just happened to be walking at the right speed which took him between and around all the traps. I was happy to save him when he reached the other side and it made me chuckle.

Nice entry, especially for your second!

Love this! Great graphics and the audio really helps you get into the game. The only thing i could ask for is a death sound for the sheep.

Simple idea, nice looking game. It was pretty funny having the sheep disappear right as I was holding it. Then I found out the secret strategy to hold the sheep in the sky so it can't be hit :P.

Good job!

Loved the graphics. The Audio fit with with the theme really well. Although towards the end most sheep would get instantly crushed. That with the slower spawn time made it difficult to get late points. Enjoyed play, well done!

@max6333 @ramanujo @minibobbo @greenboxgames thanks for the feedback, i'm really happy. is it possible to polish the game after the deadline?

max6333 2018-08-14 01:27

@zlabya Well, this is a peculiar situation since the timer has been extended by 24 hours because of all the lag on the site. You could do it, but it is supposed to be only for submiting.

djibess 2018-08-14 01:34

Loved the game, i've saved 6 sheep. But you could've added an animation of the sheep while walking and the text was so blurry you could've use a higher font size and lowered the scale. and i've faced a bug where i jumped over the black moving thing and couldn't get back. but overall i liked the game good idea. Keep up!

zlabya 2018-08-14 01:39

@djibess thanks for the feedback, I added the blurry text at the last minute while I was trying the fixe the jump bug that you mentionned lol.

liven 2018-08-14 01:46

Very funny idea. just miss a death sound and syst part

huskitch 2018-08-14 10:14

Really fun

nessa 2018-08-14 10:36

I'm waaay to sensitive for game like this...all those sheep I couldn't save...Any how, fun idea and nice gameplay. Well done!

h4nnib4l 2018-08-14 10:44

good game and a good idea but sheep spawn is not enough in complex a funny experience

kapiteinkoekwous 2018-08-14 10:54

Really nice game! Awesome theme and running around frantically to save those poor things is wonderful! Maybe a bit more feedback on saving sheeps would motivate me more, but this was very nice! The spawnrate for sheep could be increased for more tension, and maybe the chance of saved sheep to escape back into the danger zone would make it more interesting. And maybe getting damaged by those spikes yourself would be a fun idea too. Great job!

vekstr 2018-08-14 11:04

Fun little game with great simple graphics and audio :smiley:

Could use some timers and counters to keep track of player's progress though.

projectmakers 2018-08-14 11:09

A really nice game! I wish you great success!

zlabya 2018-08-14 11:19

@projectmakers thank you

foxserranu 2018-08-14 11:30

It's really fun, congratulations :)

monyandere 2018-08-14 14:11

The graphic and audio is really nice. The gameplay is very entertaining, took me awhile to figure out I can jump by press Space button. The only thing I could ask is a timer or a score system.

sankacoffee51 2018-08-14 19:43

This is a good game, don't downplay youselves!! All artists have their scene

muriel 2018-08-14 20:56

Good game, I really like the art style. Jeje how did you come out with this idea? Jaja poor sheep I felt bad for them :)

Good job!

haeder2132 2018-08-14 21:17

good graphics but a ton of glitches :)

bustosman 2018-08-15 02:50

The game is definitely challenging from start to finish, but I think to add even more challenge is to have the player die from the rolling spikes. When I found out that I could have walked through the obstacles without taking any penalty was a little immersion breaking for me. Graphics are pretty nice, although they're pretty simple still.

awix 2018-08-15 05:40

Great graphics and the audio really helps you get into the game.

slojanko 2018-08-15 08:27

The game feels a bit empty, there's no goal. I don't know if sheep placed in safety can also wander out as I saw one sheep near the fence and I'm sure I placed all behind it. Wish there was more audio and perhaps progession in some way, not just rollers speeding up. As everyone said low poly graphics are great!

virtual-window 2018-08-15 09:19

Haha great little game, would have been great if the player had to avoid the obstacles too and the sheep could wonder back in haha. Also, some kind of hint as to where the sheep would spawn next would help :)

javasaurus 2018-08-15 09:26

Cool little game ! Would have been more challenging if there were randomized directions etc. But very well done, I enjoyed it ! Thank you for the entry. I love the detail with dead trees behind the roller. The only obvious thing I would change in terms of graphics is to make the bulldozer bigger, having it come closer as well, it would seem more menacing ! But well done !

2018-08-15 10:12

Guess who's not making it into the Sheep Protection Force [SPF]? :P Good idea and fun gameplay. Could use a UI showing the number of saved sheep. The audio was quite relaxing, and certainly took away the horror from all the sheep getting crushed. Good job overall.

cheetah 2018-08-15 16:34

Nice job, liked low-poly art a lot.

dantho95 2018-08-15 17:35

Love the game. It is extremely fun to play. If there was one thing I would add it would be the death effect for sheep... like the bloody explosion :smiley:

ryanjavanshir 2018-08-15 17:52

Lovely clean graphics, and solid gameplay. My only suggestion is making the text higher resolution - it makes a big difference with this style of graphics! Great job.

marin0104 2018-08-15 18:29

Very nice idea and simple but effective implementation! I've enjoyed playing it, although the last minutes i did not rescued any sheep cause they were dead immediately after they spawned :sweat_smile:

Keep up your good work!

hatchet 2018-08-15 18:57

Haha this game is brutal :D You really did a good job with the graphics and gameplay in such a short time. Also I managed to jump over the Incoming Wall of Doom :D

Thank you all for your lovely comments and feedback, i'll polish it.

rend 2018-08-17 09:19

I like the mood and the sound design is top notch. Cool low poly aesthetics also.. That could have been great to have more feedback when the sheeps are killed, maybe some blood splatter ? Or maybe not :sweat_smile: Cool little game, congrats!

garfilexx 2018-08-19 18:49

I like this game! :) A death animation would be cool!

ursagames 2018-08-29 07:09

What a silly game! Had a blast playing this, those poor sheep! Thanks for sharing this with my stream awhile back. Here's a link to the vod https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297569760?t=26m30s
