Harder than it appears at first. "Easy to understand, hard to master" is absolutely true. I like the sound and the animations!

ssstormy 2020-04-19 19:33

Got to 55. It's well done!

sheetcode 2020-04-19 21:48

@derkuchen Thank you for playing! <3 Glad that you liked!

sheetcode 2020-04-19 21:49

@ssstormy Thank you! Very nice score :D

charliegray 2020-04-19 22:55

Very cool idea. And also very well executed. I like the gameplay, pixel art and the sound effects. And the fact that the enemies can shoot each other gives it a nice tactical side. Well done!

sheetcode 2020-04-20 06:54

@charliegray Yesterday I was little scared that nobody will "found" that you can defeat enemies, because the game doesn't tell you it. Great that you found it:D

This was a great game. First I figured out I had to give "short" instructions so I wouldn't be killed by new attackers, and when I figured out I could even kill the enemies - that's when things got serious. Kind of hard to aim at the attackers. Really nice game, and such a soothing ASMR arrow sound.

Dude this game is awsome! The best game i played in this jam so far

goutye 2020-04-20 11:59

Some nice triple kills, or even killing each other themselves! That was fun :smile: Well done!

iluvatar 2020-04-20 12:07

Alright, so this is the first time I gave someone 5* for Audio, because this is just brilliant. I love self-made audio effect, especially these "spoken" ones. The gameplay is hell of a fun and it is the most fun game I have played so far. This is what an LD entry should look like. Short and entertaining :)

PS: On the easy level, I would suggest to send the ships earlier, because I could kinda cheese the points by spamming the food at one place. But that is the only "negative" I could find. It is just perfect :)

2020-04-20 16:06

Wow, this is... impressive. The game is really well made! With cool pixelated graphics, great sound (my god, how sound of a sheep eating might be so satisfying :D "mniaam") and fun gameplay. The fact that the game doesn't tell you that the other ships can shoot themselves is a great surprise mechanic that brought my gameplay on another level of enjoyment when it happened :D Additionally, the three difficulty levels are so thoughtful. Be proud, this game is great!

sheetcode 2020-04-20 16:08

@jasemir <3, like I wrote earlier I was scary that people will not figure out that they can kill another enemies, I only left one hint for it on the results score;) Thanks for playing!

sheetcode 2020-04-20 16:19

@goutye Thanks! Congratulation for triple kills!

ege686 2020-04-20 16:24

This is the best game I have ever played in this jam. If I have to say bad thing about this game. It will be the graphics. But it is still good graphics for 2 day limit.

maximbegunov 2020-04-21 01:22

That is a clever game mechanic and yeah, I didn't find out that you can shoot down enemies with their own arrows until I saw the comments which makes the mechanic even better. Good job.

poisondart00 2020-04-21 09:23

I enjoyed your game quite a bit!

sageware 2020-04-21 09:46

I really enjoyed the simplistic graphics, especially your chosen colors and cursor. The sheep was very cute with pleasant sounds. The gameplay was as you said, easy to learn but hard to master. Excellent work.

jorbits 2020-04-21 10:35

Really cool and innovative idea - atleast I've not seen something like this before. This game is something that would probably also work really good on mobile!

sheetcode 2020-04-21 11:44

@ege686 Thank you! I will improve drawing skill until next gamejam:D

@maximbegunov I’m glad that you enjoyed:)

@jorbits yes, I think I will prepare mobile version later with improved graphic!:)

sheetcode 2020-04-21 11:44

@poisondart00 great!

rich 2020-04-21 18:08

Excellent submission! I liked it and I though it was funny to get the archers to shoot each other.

mykola 2020-04-21 20:21

Very impressive for the first compo entry! Interesting and challenging gameplay, I liked multiple difficulties. Neat art and animations. Hilarious sound effects and fitting soundtrack. The game is complete and fun to play. Everything is perfect, one thing I still felt is that it gets a bit boring the more you play. Maybe some pickups / power ups / skills would make it more diversified.

All in all, it's a really great game, I enjoyed playing it!

sheetcode 2020-04-22 07:09

@rich thank you, It always nice to use enemy weapon agains them :)

@mykola exactly! On the first day I was thinking about powerups, many enemies, few types of seeds, but... I was to tired to add that all in 2 days:)

scubes-3-14 2020-04-22 07:10

Good game, good concept, but nothing can compare to the name.

no-grapes-games 2020-04-22 07:49

Always glad to see more Godot games! I really liked this one. It was fun enough to keep me playing multiple rounds, and silly enough to put a big smile on my face. Keep up the good work!

lt-farfetchd 2020-04-22 08:19

Aw, adorable! I love the charming graphics and the voiced sound effects, they really made it. The background tune is also nice and relaxing. It feels like the game's components really fit together nicely, so it has a lot of cohesion which is awesome. Maybe the only odd thing out is the UI on the game over screen. That's probably the only real downfall in terms of immersion I'd say. The inclusion of difficulty is awesome, and it's such an easy game to play, which is wonderful. Incredible job!

francescopanini 2020-04-22 10:34

This game is really cute !

Music is cool. Gameplay is pretty fun and it is more challenging and tense than it seems. The way you handled difficulty levels is original and very interesting. Not only does it increase difficulty but it also adds possibilities as you can kinda make sheeps work together to survive.

That is a really nice jam game!

furtive-pygmy 2020-04-22 21:40

Grats on your first game jam. The sounds are hilarious, I love them little sheep! Game is hard (KEEP IT ALIVE), but addictive. Amazing effort, good luck with the results.

sheetcode 2020-04-23 06:56

@scubes-3-14 Haha, thank you :D To be honest my first idea was to have the chicken to survive, but when I though about the name the sheep won undisputed xD

@no-grapes-games Thanks for the feedback, great I put smile on your face:D

@lt-farfetchd Great feedback, after you wrote about UI that is not compositive with the rest of the game I started to notice that also. I wouldn't figure out this by myself

@francescopanini Thank you <3 Funny fact that I added the 2 difficulties in the last hour of the work and that idea came to me spontaneously. "How to make this game harder.... more sheep!"

@furtive-pygmy Thank you! I'm glad that you liked <3

by the way... I just did vlog about working on this game: I encorage everybody that liked to play to watch it :D

smiley 2020-04-26 09:45

well done for your first game! that was much more entertaining than my first entry in LD32 ;)

I like the idea that you could trick the attackers to attack themselves. And the sound effects was funny :)

fabrizio-spadaro 2020-04-26 09:47

Got to 93 on the first try I think I am a pro gamer after this.

Fun game, one of the funniest so far, great sfx and mechanics, good job!

chief141 2020-04-26 09:56

Straight to the theme, that was most "related to theme" game I have till played in this jam.

nachocp 2020-04-26 10:03

That was really fun to play haha! Good job!

jordyfornow 2020-04-28 10:41

I really enjoyed playing this, thanks for this inovative submission

sheetcode 2020-04-28 13:05

@smiley thanks you! The idea for this mechanic was quite spontaneous

@fabrizio-spadaro Great job! I'm happy that you liked!

@chief141 Thanks for the feedback:) Theme was very nice to use, even in my code the sheep have the name "it"

@nachocp thanks for playing!

@jordyfornow thats great! Thanks for playing :D

2020-05-05 15:58

Fun little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/7Pd4SRINH38

2020-05-11 10:05

Keep it a live! Good execution on the theme. Difficulty curve is good since 1 sheep is much easier than 3 of them. Good job on compo
