Only got to 368, it gets so brutal so quickly! :D
Amazing art style. Keep it up.
Good game, I love the minimalist sounds and graphics. The camera movement makes clicking too hard for me, still a fun game! :D
Very simple concept, executed nicely. It seemed somewhat tricky to actually click on the flowers, but not so much that it was a problem. Nice job!
Loved the goat animation so much
Good job
This is awesome. One, simple mechanic is perfect for a gamejam game. Love the game.
Love the art!
Art is really cool!
One of the most infuriating games I've played... it's great! I think I enjoyed it...
The sheep animations were perfect. Loved the artstyle and simplistic game play.
Interesting concept. Nice game.
I love the animations! And it gets difficult quickly, which I really like! Makes it easy to try again and beat your high score!
Got to 303, the isometric style is so cool. Great game!
Got 324. I really liked the artstyle!
Cool game idea that looks cool. The sound effects made it a bit hard on the ears tho. But overall a nice entry
L like the art a lot and the premise of the game is unique. It was a lot of fun to play.
Visuals and animations are very pleasant. The only problems I had waere that it is sometimes hard to click the flowers when camera moves and sometimes bad flowers would spawn right next to me so I had no time to react.
The sheep's face and eating animation gets humor points from me haha :D This is a pretty interesting mechanic and I like the artstyle, good job!
Really fun game. I love the art style
Very nice art style and mechanics, but the music seemed to pan to the left channel and stay there? (On the HTML5 version).
also the lose screen seems a little dark for the theme haha, maybe something more cartoony would fit better.
i love the graphics! its really fun to play, it gets very challenging very fast
Polished game, well done! Impressive jam game. The game gets difficult very fast though and I need to constantly put my mouse outside of the game window because otherwise a flower gets black and then I can't see clearly if the flower under my cursor is a white or a red one. But those are the only points of critique I can think of. So that really means that this game concept is very well executed by you in this limited amount of time !
Love the isometric style! The animations are very nice!
Pretty good looking and fun game.
A few things to point out : 1. The beep sounds seem to be 3D sounds. This means that you'll start to only hear them in one of the headphones as you get further from the source 2. While the game doesn't have a lot of mechanics and is pretty intuitive, you should've at least included what the player should do(if there is one and I missed it, my bad)
Apart from this you've got a solid game
241. Nice work, quick to get into. I think it would've been better to decouple camera & sheep (or let the player control the camera, e.g. with keyboard keys) as the erratic movement of the sheep made it harder than it needed to be. Very good looking though! Poor sheep.
The tiles for this game were delightful! Very cute sheep sprite and animations.
I was only able to get about this far: Annotation 2020-04-21 083647.jpg
Each time it seemed that the difficulty REALLY ramped up around there.
Well done on such a funny and charming game!
It's a fun game, the art style is really cool. The camera movement paired with the "dancing" poisonous flowers maake it a bit difficult to click on them

Funny game!! Loved the art and the design!!!
it looks pretty and it gets so hard so fast, fun game.
+ Great art works & gameplay + Actually putting effort to writing a path finding algorithm + Cute ded goat pic - A little fuzzy on indicating which flower is selected. Would prefer stronger color. - Some flower sprites clipping through the map tiles on the upper right corner of the map. Not sure if you want the sheep to be able to go around the corner and get covered by the walls.
Overall nice and polished. GJ!
Got to 491. Didn't took long for me to start doing some hard flicks to get the red flowers xD
So cute! Really fun to play! Could definitely see myself pulling this up to de-stress when I have only a few minutes to play
Nice little game, fun to play.
It's a bit difficult to click the flowers when the camera jumps around quite a lot. Not sure if intentional? Very cute game though, both style and music, could probably play for hours! :D I agree with what someone else said about the 'lose' screen, it doesn't quite fit, but very good game for a gamejam :)
Fun little game, however the camera movement makes clicking on anything very very hard. Maybe leave camera control to the player and they have to follow the sheep themselves.
This is actually a really good game. It has the perfect amount of simplicity / minimalism and challenge. The Art (visually and musically) is nice and coherent.
A cute little game! It was a bit hard to understand at first, I thought I had to command the sheep with the mouse or whatever, but it ended up being a nice game about restroying red flowers... until one spawns a few steps away and your sheep dies. The game over screen pushes it up a few points in the Humor category, it was unexpected to say the least. Great use of isometric perspective as well!
At first I was "that's fine". But things escalated quickly. The game is fun and it becomes very challenging. The only thing is that my sheep kept going in circles on the same spot, but that was only in one run.
293 , stupid sheep ... The camera movement is probably a bit too jerky, making the selection of bad flowers hard. Very fun arcade game !
375! :D I agree with the comment above, it's hard to click on plants, but i guess that's the point.
Love the art and I get marble madness vibes from the background, which is great. Nice simple gameplay.
Can't get past 321. You should try slowing down camera movement since it is hard to click on the plant with the goat running here and there. But great concept and great implementation.
The game is really fun to play. The music and graphics are really charming. The difficulty ramps up very quickly, and the challenge is really refreshing. Overall, a really solid game!
I enjoyed playing it, but it seems like it got really difficult really fast. The flowers are bit hard click too, bc they are small and moving. I loved the simplicity in the art style and music, it brought out a bit of the console feel.
Really fun to play, this is the best sheep animation I've ever seen!
I've played with headphones, the sound keep moving away from the screen. I think you used an "AudioStreamPlayer2D" where the simple "AudioStreamPlayer" would have done the job.
Very good concept and easy to play (while tutorial were missing). After 400 steps i really would need a some sort of grass cutter. As a matter of fact, i would like to there to be different levels and able to have the progress of the game process. Different missions would include more instances and tools (more sheep, fences & cutters, etc.) and the plants should visually grow up first, rather than just spawning into the random places (or even unrandomed, while the game mode is based on planting on poor nutrition biomes in the future buildups).
Anyway, even while *the shepherd were not included*, the game concept is very enjoyable and isometric sphere works well on this game! Really suitable concept for a successful mobile game!
the isometric art is lovely despite the wierd face of the goats ;) and I love the animation on the flowers
Good art style, good animation. The gameplay is simple but solid, good work!
Great art and animations good gameidea well polished. It was just a lot of fun to play.
wow very cute game and can be improved and turned into a mobile game , it was fun to play, good job
Very Fun and quick game. The only problem is that the screen moves to much so I always miss where I click, but great game overall.
Nice game, I enjoyed playing it! I like the cute isometric pixel art and I enjoyed how the flowers go with the beat of the nice music at the start. :smile:
I found that it was not that easy to pick the red flowers (papaver? :rose:), firstly since the sheep is in control of the camera, and secondly because I wanted to click on the flower head in stead of the square. Maybe it would be nice to visually help the players by highlighting the square that your cursor is on.
I would like to play it on a touch screen! But till then, my highscore:

What are the rules.
Very cute graphics and animations! The music seems to behave like a spatial sound coming from the starting point so while wearing headphones when sheep runs away too far to the left or right I only it in one ear which gets a little annoying. Otherwise I really liked it though :)
This was great, clicking frantically to keep that sheep from eating those roses (or whatver the poison flowers are)! Super cute art, great audio, fun game! :)
Wow, what an overwhelming number of ratings and comments! I wonder why, our Karma is not that good (yet). I imagine @hapiel is very pleased with the positive reactions to his art (graphics & music)!
Thanks for all the feedback, there are some bugs (like flowers staying black, undesired audio panning and incidental clipping) which would be easy to fix but are not game-breaking, so we'll leave them in. The camera movement is very deliberately following the sheep (we threw out the keyboard controls quite late) to make it a simple mouse-only game and as an (admittedly infuriating) mechanism to challenge the player.
The concept of the game actually changed a lot, especially in the last few hours. At first we wanted to create a "herding simulator" and then a puzzle game, but that did not feel very fun in the end. After turning up the speed for debugging we noticed that that actually made the game better - so we threw out the initial pathfinding, made the water non-lethal and in the last few hours turned it into a clicking-action game.
Did anyone find the easter egg we put in the game btw?
really beautiful artwork and very fitting audio. aside from what has already been mentioned above about the sound with headphones etc, there's nothing but good things to say about this. Well done :)
Nice game! but the audios are little bit disappointing
Simple and fun arcade score chaser! Very clever use of the theme, really liked this one. The isometric art was very efficient and super charming. However one thing I'd like see improved is definitely the sfx. Nice background music, but the sound effects really drown it out and they become repititive/annoying very quickly. Other than that though, a very good job!

It's awesome! graphic, sound, concept... I'm disappointed there is no old man in game. And I think camera move is too fit to sheep, it makes game more difficult. Although it's enjoyable!
The artwork in this is amazing!
This is a great idea for an LD game. It's simple but fun. The only thing I want is more feedback when I click, some kind of nice crisp sound and particle effect would make the game feel better. Nice Marble Madness aesthetic.
Very simple concept, but nicely done. Great animation too. I'd just criticize the camera bouncing around with the sheep kinda made me sick.
What a cute and fuzzy game! The graphics were well done, and the mechanics were simple yet effective. The music fit the light and airy mood of the game. Well done!
A couple issues, the music is in 3d space so if the camera moves away it's only playing in one ear, additionally my sheep's pathing got stuck and ran back and forth until it diedsheep.PNG
Great submission!
Such a great pixel art! The idea is awesome and I had a real fun time playing. You could add even more flowers in different colors and variations each giving more points! Overall an excellent entry!
I got to 251 steps. Pretty fun and good looking game, well done!
Very interesting click game. Maybe add a bit of variation along with the game progress will be even better.
This was hilarious. Loved the sheep animations and the isometric style. Definitely would be cool if you did more levels / published for mobile. The flowers felt a bit off when clicking, dunno if it was the underlying 'squre' or the flower itself I had to click.
Also, there was directional sound for the music haha, dunno if that was intentional? I thought my headphones were broken/ not plugged in properly until the sheep went centre on the map again.
