mmmm 140 mb. This game jam I made a Gameboy game that is 60kb but the average game now a days is 140mb = 140000kb. So you are saying that the avarage game size grew by 140000 / 60 = 2300 times in the past 20 years? Well apparently that is the case. Even tho, nice game. I hope all of you have enjoyed making it.

Cool idea and nice graphics. But would be cool if you add volume control.

Bravo pour avoir pu sortir un jeu aussi bien fini ! J'aime beaucoup le style SD des graphismes et les bruitages valent en effet leur pesant de cacahuètes ^^ Le mouton est peut être un peu trop une tête de mule et on peut le blesser trop facilement en essayant de le protéger. Mais vous pouvez être fier du résultat !

Cool game idea. Also, I would also like some volume controls. The loading screen is also very funny :D I liked it a lot!

Wow, super le jeu bravo les gars ! Le gameplay, le son, les graphismes... Bref tout est magnifique et très bien fini Le petit tuto est génial !

ahanabunozor 2020-04-21 11:28

It's a lot of fun! And I really like the visuals.

lucecyl 2020-04-21 23:19

Absolutely loved your game! Aliens, Zombies and Sheeps, what more could I've asked for? :) It would be nice to have an item that cures the sheep sometimes.

sylvainpv 2020-04-22 10:08

@lucecyl actually carrots heal Bébert a bit ! You just need a lot of them to get it back to full health :)

XD Humor 5 just for that loading screen lol. And innovative use of a loading screen too, to get all the important information outbefore the game starts instead of boring everyone out with information during the play, but in my browser the game indeed froze at the loading screen unfortunately. Ohhh ok it loaded finally. Funniest game so far love the audio, the musi reminded me of shaun he sheep. Good artwork good smooth gameplay overall just a round thing well done!

syudzius 2020-04-23 17:38

Very fun game! Love the idea and sound effects! The controls were a bit tricky for me, so I could only survive for a few waves (sorry, Bebert.... xD). Good work!

sylvainpv 2020-04-23 18:09

@syudzius thanks ! You may prefer the arrow keys or a gamepad to control your character, it's a bit easier. Best advice I can give you to survive longer is to always control Bebert position. Make sure it is always close to the center and close to you, using carrots and kicks in the butt if needed !

I started playing with mouse and keyboard, but I after I lost on wave 2, I switched to gamepad. Despite being last minute the gamepad controls are MUCH easier to use and more enjoyable. Nice game!

pilarius 2020-04-23 19:32

Sadly I was stuck in the loading screen. Even though it said 100% loaded, nothing happened. The screenshot looked promising...

angel-w 2020-04-23 19:49

I really like the graphics and sound effects of your game! I suggest adding some music to enhance the experience.

jorim 2020-04-23 19:59

The loading screen might be broken sometimes on the web version? Also just as a heads up, you might want to opt out of the graphics section if you got your sprites from a marketplace.

mlho7 2020-04-24 09:34

Nice, really nice, great "à la bouche" made sound effects, I loved the alien zombie farmer papy sprite, bref, good job.

pedro-miranda 2020-04-24 15:16

Got stuck in the loading screen. It reached 100% but it didn't start up the game.

jajo 2020-04-24 15:19

I imagine the sound effects were incredibly fun to make. Art was also great.

popo3744 2020-04-24 15:27

Même si je suis contre la maltraitance animal, j'ai pris plaisir à botter les fesses de Bébert le mouton !! Bravo à vous, d'autant plus pour votre première Game Jam. J'ai beaucoup aimé les graphismes et le travail des sons.

kfischer-okarin 2020-04-24 15:29

Wow very high quality for your first game! The loading screen and the dialogues were quite funny! And the mechanic of kicking the sheep in the butt :) Very good I enjoyed it!

linluk 2020-04-24 15:29

great game i love it!

sounds are very funny and gameplay feels good.

on the loading screen sometimes no button apears even if the percentage reaches 100. but after a reload it works.

pyrotrap 2020-04-24 15:36

Rip Bebert. Game looks really nice and I liked the sound effect and background music.

mathias-van-hooreweghe 2020-04-24 15:40

Coincée trois fois sur l'écran de démarrage, jai finalement su rentrer dans le jeux. Graphiquement parlant, top top! Un truc que vous pouvez peut-être ajouter c'est qu'on peut taper avec la touche 1 et que le dynamite est sur la touche 4.. Jai appuyer sur toute les numéros pour voir comment utiliser ca. Je trouve que le mouton peut aussi avoir un petit plus de vie et peut-être pas aller vers les enemies (le jeux termine beaucoup trop rapidement). Voila un petit peu de ce que jai remarqué. Mais en tout BRAVO a toute l'équipe ;)

sylvainpv 2020-04-24 20:15

Sorry for people stuck on loading screen. I cannot reproduce the bug unfortunately, my only advice is to use an up-to-date web browser and be patient :( I tried to compress the images further to save a few MB.

@angel-w actually there is some music ^^ probably too quiet compared to the sound effects, Vincent is louder than Romain

@jorim I hesitated because Fabien worked on many graphical assets during the jam and I thought he deserved to have a rating for that, despite we used external sprites. But he is okay to remove the graphics rating so I did remove it. Props to him !

@popo3744 @kfischer-okarin thanks, but it's our first Ludum Dare, not our first gamejam :)

rohezal 2020-04-25 09:02

First: You guys are very funny :). The story of Bebért the intergalatical super crimimal sheep is just creative, the sounds are well made and made me laugh and the game fits the theme. The mechanics are solid (I like the update store). Well done.

It is just a bit slow on Chromium / Ubuntu 18.04 but the problem is most likely on my end, maybe the GPU acceleration does not work properly.

fatpenguin 2020-04-26 21:13

Cute little game, especially for your first gamejam, well done! The graphics and animations are very nice! I thought the idea of the different actions were interesting, however I would balance it a bit more (why would you kick if it takes as long as hitting and makes no damage? Maybe have the kick create a knokback when directed towards the aliens? or is it meant for bebe only?) Also the hitboxes where sometimes a bit frustrating, but with a bit of tweaking you should be able to fix this, nice entry! :)

sylvainpv 2020-04-26 22:07

@fatpenguin thanks for the feedback. Kick is the best action to make Bebert move when you are out of carrots. Also, kicking monsters has 2x knockback and less animation lag than stick attack, but has a lower range as a drawback. Upgrading boots makes kicking knockback even stronger.

zubspace 2020-05-01 20:20

Wow, this is such a gem! I LOVE the art style, the animations and the environment. The sound effects are great and funny. I also think that the music fits perfectly, although it vanishes a bit in the background behind all those sound effects.

The gameplay is super interesting, but that stupid sheep does never seem to do what I want :) You did a great introduction and tutorial. I also like the upgrades.

I could not pass wave 5, but it was a great experience.

Well done to the whole team!
