This is great! I like how you have to strategically use different types of bushes to overcome each of the challenges. I had to dodge a car with a delicious bush several times! So satisfying to drop spiky bushes on wolves too aha!

Great game. I love how every bush is for different purpose

Thanks everyone for the reviews. :heart: I decided to update the page and opt-out of Audio category, because I don't have any sounds in the game.

Looked simple at first but there was actually a lot of strategy involved. It was interesting making use of different bushes and coming up with new strategies.

Funny game!

I really enjoyed the tactics one could come up with, with all the different bushes. Found out a neat little strategy to top up on default bushes, you just place a tall bush and while the sheep its that you do a little harvest mooning while planting a few small bushes

I would have love to be able to move the camera on my own, it felt a bit limiting to only see a small portion of the play area.

There seems to be a bug, my tasty bush icon on the bottom right, was the same as the tall bush icon

Great game :star2:

Points to wizzardMaker for spotting UI bug! :thumbsup: *rapid fixing noises*

This is a great game! the idea is good and the execution is great! The fact that this is a strategy game about a sheep and some bushes is amazing and is a great idea! great job!

Very nice game, I like the circular level design. Unfortunately my sheep got hit by a car, but we had a good run.

Nice game! I think I would have been happy without any enemies, just looking after a sheep.

One thing that would be nice is if it said what had finally got you when the game ended? A couple of times I wasn't sure why I'd died.

@madbookstudios It is real shame, that I didn't have time to make dropping bushes on wolves feel more rewarding. :shrug:

@misterkeefe Hahaha, I didn't want it to become Equilinox. :laughing: That GameOver screen was planned as a feature together with grade as a scoring mechanism. Well... you know compo :timer:

Thanks everyone for reviews, I plan to check out YOUR games soon!

The game feels a bit unfinished, but the gameplay is pretty good. Sadly it is really difficult to avoid the wolfs and the cars. Overall an okay little jam game.

I love the way you move, not by conventional means, but by persuasion. I also agree with others saying there is a surprising amount of depth with using the different bushes. Clicking the orbs was a bit tedious though. Overall a very solid game, good job :)

It is an interesting idea! I never saw anything like this before. Could be great with more sound so you know better when a car or wolf is coming!

tero-pulkkinen 2020-04-20 13:33

I only got unity progressbar appear(in brave browser, based on chromium). Is the game supposed to load properly?

scintillae-creations 2020-04-20 13:59

@tero-pulkkinen The game is uploaded in a standart Unity HTML5 build. Maybe it was a Itch.io problem? Which OS are you using?

tero-pulkkinen 2020-04-20 14:12

sorry, I got the game to work by changing to chrome. Seems brave browser has some compability problems with unity html5. (other unity games have the same issue, so might not be unique to your game)...

Very nice game,Could be great with more sound so you know better when a car or wolf is coming!

Liked the game. But it was a bit hard to play. But that's probably on me.

katrin 2020-04-20 19:07

Interesting world and gameplay! Thank you for tutorial in your game, it is very helpful and great. But I can’t keep the sheep alive during long time. I wish you to finish this project!

knason 2020-04-21 17:40

I was hit by a car and eaten by a wolf :-) excellent! :). I tried at first without the tutorial and then it was a bit hard to grasp the design of the game, but with some time invested in the tutorial the game went to fun! Good job!

I like the core mechanic! Excellent choice on doing enough art to get the point across without going down the rabbit hole, you only have 48 hours after all. I am disappointed that a cactus doesn't stop a truck which is what I died to the most. What does the full game look like? What could you use this prototype to drive towards? I'm curious. Also, did clicking the little spores or spheres do anything? The UI bars are up there but what do they mean? Thanks for letting me play your game!
