Funny and interesting :)

It is abit annoying that you cannot attack when the text pops up but I guess is a way to give the player a breather so it's fine. The animation and art is pretty good and I can see the game being addicting. I guess a polish, other than adding sounds and music, is adding more variety to the game like more ways to protect your lamb, more ways to disable the enemy, etc. Nice work!

This is really fun! All I wanted was to kill this people trying to get my Oskar :cry: Great job! :clap:

Fun game matches the theme well a little music would have given the game a bit more atmosphere but its not always easy with limited time. The gameplay and graphics were good and I managed to win.

Wow, this is amazing! It took me a moment to understand what I have to do, but when I did, I almost had to laugh out loud, because I liked the idea so much. The pixelart graphics you created are stunning. I once tried pixelart but found it really hard to create something that looks good. The goat sounds are funny and fit the game and its mood really well. The gameplay is quite hard because it seems to take more hits to kill the other goats than to kill oskar. It is a real challenge. I have to admit that after a while it gets a bit repetitive. What I really liked is that you can push enemies away with your sword. Overall a really good and fun game that fits the theme perfectly! Good job. Also feel free to check out our game if you want to :)

Wow this game looks really nice, I love the art style, its a shame there's no sound. The mechanics are fun, at first I though the game was too hard, but I found a good strategy of luring the other guys out and doing drive-by slicing. Maybe a timer would work good, so that you would be more urgent about killing the other sheep. It's charming, enjoyable and has lots of potential.

Fun game, wish I could all the people trying to kill Oskar!

Very much enjoyed your game. Captured the theme very well :)

Looks can be deceiving cause the simplicity of the art (love the choice btw) gives an impression that the game will be quite simple and easy but I was pleasantly surprised that not to be the case ! It's difficult, very. The best score of mine so far is 4, and I'm not just running for it, it requires tactics.

Just because I'm used to using W S A D buttons for movement and my right hand for shooting/killing it took me a while to get used to the controls, but after I got it I was running around like mad !

Also got weirdly attached to my sheep :D

Great job !

I like the idea overall. I feel that there is alot to polish in terms of protecting the lamb and controls. Also I think the music could use some polish. Overall it was enjoyable.

Fun little game :) The gods are really greedy haha

Nice pixel art, I took some time to figure out what to do but is a nice game, congrats!

Very Interesting idea behind the scene! It is actually a cool stealth game for me! I firstly try to kill others' lambs in a very arbitrary way. Then I find I need to act in a stealth way. And my lamb could serve as the lure. When others are attracted in a new position, I could get their lamb killed much more easily. I think this could really be developed into something very big. Maybe the player could have different items to murder other's lambs secretly. Or as the player becomes notorious, killing would become harder. Overall, this is a fun game and I really enjoy it. Thank you!

Fun game! Very creative Idea

donitz 2018-12-05 23:08

Surprisingly challenging. I was ONE ship away from winning.

Good game!

raveroth 2018-12-05 23:09

Nice game!

ynneblack 2018-12-05 23:14

First impression: Oh no! He's crying. D: I gotta save Oskar next time.

I did not manage to win, but I have tried several times, sneaking, running, sneaking again. It's simple but fun and the art fits it really well.

legavroche 2018-12-05 23:41

It was a fun game with a really nice artstyle. One thing that I would've liked is the ability to still attack while the text was going through. It felt like an unnatural breakpoint in the gameplay. Otherwise, great job!

pecc0r 2018-12-06 08:24

Very pretty game and surprisingly hard. I had a lot of fun with it. Poor Oscar. :/

co181127 2018-12-06 09:30

move enough to win the game

kasaki 2018-12-06 16:42

Nice graphic, well done!

mambojambo 2018-12-06 22:15

Great scope for a jam game! As others are saying, cute graphics! Thought that there could have been something added to the core game mechanic though, maybe it would have been more interesting if the guards where patrolling the map?

christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2018-12-06 23:30

I hate those other lamb owners, wtf, let me kill your sheep in peace :/ I played long enough to win though, take that! Lovely in its simplicity, well done!

tpamir 2018-12-07 01:45

Loved the art & humor! Good Job!

balduvian-dead 2018-12-07 19:46

I like how sketchy the gameplay is, you take it any way you want

dining-philosopher 2018-12-08 22:49

Love the pixel art and setting, gameplaywise the safe strategy is a bit boring (making large, circling movements to get around and retreat early)

shito 2018-12-08 22:55

Cute little game! The concept is simple but playing it was a lot of fun. The graphics are appealing and the sheep sounds are adorable! The sheep owners are a pain in the ass though. But overall I found the game to be well balanced.

garethiw 2018-12-09 12:15

Excellent art, animation and sound effects. I like the risk/reward element of the gameplay. I only wish that you couldn't hurt Oskar yourself :D I managed to get right down to the last lamb and was backing off and accidentally swiped Oskar of his last remaining health :O :sheep: :sheep:
