Lovely!
With more time I would have added more mutations, but in general this is really a small jewel :)

@simone Thanks for your review! Yes. Actually i planned like full fleshed out mutation tiers of evil and heavenly sheep, but as you said. The time was kinda rough with me :smiley:
Relaxing gameplay, funny idea, nice animations. The buttons/mouse cursor don't alway react snappy, and the rotation seems a bit jerky in fullscreen web player.
No idea if there is a goal or what the maximum genetic mutation can be. After 10 minutes I didn't see anything new so I quit.
@bart-huylebroeck that's fine. WebGL builds are kinda weird on custom cursors and i really tried fixing it. The game has no goal and is more of a atmospheric game. Thanks for playing!
It's nice but it's rather confusing on what i am supposed to do >.<
Cute but poor mutated sheep :D Good job and I hope you pursue this concept further :)
Nice idea! Not quite sure it fits with the theme that well, but it's quite a fun game.
Lovely 3D models and well programmed AI movements. Not sure about the theme but it was still enjoyable
I try it on web and it didn't work (cursor bug). So I donwloaded it and I enjoyed spending some times with the sheeps. It would be cool to have a reference of the mutation to know which one we missed. I like the 3D graphic, they are very cute.
Nice graphisms, the animation do the job and the choice of colours is elegant. I had some trouble to know when I had reach the full potential of this game, but it was relaxing and interesting to play.
Thanks for the experience.
@haneton Thanks for your review. Yes WebGL is somehow bugged with switching cursors in runtime and clicking at lot. I've read this on others peoples entries too.
Interesting, I like on concept and the visualization of the mutations, but I'm not sure what the goal is. I tried to create a field full of purple sheep, just to see if I could.
@david-hunter that's what it is about: you create your own goals :smile: It's more of an atmospheric game really.
I was curious what variations I could get and how to maximize the mutation probability. I just noticed that chance is higher the more variations of sheeps you have atm. At the start I was on the opposite trying to breed the same looking sheeps over and over again. Somewhat fun to play and really interesting, great work!
Really cool! Love the graphics and how polished it looks even thought its quite simple. The sheep movement and behavior feels very organic. Some more tools to manage the sheep, feed them... and you have an amazing clicker/relaxing game.
Looks nice. Some of the mutations are really funny. Chill, relaxing game :)
Game crashed after a while, but I really enjoyed it anyway. Very cute! :)
Fun zen game. Thanks so much for bringing it by the stream!
Very nice spin on the theme, sacrificing sheep for the sake of science! Love the graphics and sounds, very comfy.
@squaredev thanks for the kind words. I've seen some of your work in my Twitter feed. Followed you ;) Great to see some "known" faces on my game :smile:
Lovely art and very relaxing gameplay :) ! Cool sound effects too !
Very relaxing and adorable, except that killing sheep without actually seeming to need to made me feel sad :( so I didn't do that and just kept breeding green ones with horns for a few minutes. I didn't notice any particular bugginess with the WebGL cursors on my end, as far as I know.
I'm sorry @papabirb , but sacrifices must be made :cry: Thanks for playing.
Perhaps the orbiting of the island could be mapped to the mouse to make the navigation easier, loved the overall atmosphere and feel of the environment! As well, Thank you for sharing the game on our stream :) here is a link to the gameplay - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/345040549?t=51m54s
Niiice! One of the most polished and interesting games over the jam. It's feels not as a concept, but almost full game. Great job, thank you!
The only confusing feeling is - what's the gola of the game? Is it possible to win or lose?
It was peaceful game. I like games like that.
@dexp Thank you for playing! No it's more of an atmospheric game where you set your own goals and explore the possibilities (and sadly there aren't too many of them yet... it's more of a technical test)
@franciszek-pyrc Thank you for playing too. This is exactly what i planned for, since i feel like a lot of people did something more action heavy ;)
Since a lot of people quite enjoy the game i am currently planning of creating the game for mobile with even more possibilities. Can't give any details though since im quite busy at work. I'll have some time over the holidays and im going to post updates about the game here on my Feed and on Twitter. (I'll probably going to post a official announcement within the next few days :wink: )
Beware my army of spinny backed, horned, winged sheep!
:thumbsup: I liked the color shifting of the sheep to highlight how fast and far they have drifted genetically. The game presents everything all at once, but the mechanics can be explored in isolation, so the player is not overwhelmed, but instead gets the pleasure of finding out what everything does (It was cool to see that the lower the population the higher the mutation rate... or at least that's what it seemed like to me).
:point_right: I would have liked to see if there were more sheep beyond wings, but when I tried to breed them the game would crash. :(
:star: Overall great job. Thank you for making this!
@hitchh1k3r thanks for your in depth review. Actually the mutation rate exactly matches the 1 - population percentage, so when the population is 0, the mutation rate would be 1. At the moment there are not more than the mentioned mutations. (There aremore in the works :wink:)
