When I saw the sheep from Black Sheep I had to check it out. That's quite an experience! Very strikingly odd, love the different sheeps you have to avoid. Nice simple and straight forward gameplay, I was a little confused on what the space bar did, so I left it until it was full. Then I realised ahhh slow down, that's a nice mechanic. I love the drunky slo-mo warp sound and effect you did. Music was nice and trippy. Funny stuff! I made it to 310m :D
Lol nice, had a good laugh
This got a good chuckle out of me. I appreciate the slowdown ability and the rainbow invincibility star. Good work.
Cool little game. I like the music + audio effects, and the visual style.
Constructive feedback: I wish the visible distance was further out so I could react to the incoming waves of sheep. (maybe I'm just too old and my reaction time has dwindled lol) It mostly feels like a guess game. I also wish the acceleration to the movement was faster or near instant.
A good entry overall :thumbsup:
@2bitcrook Yes this whole thing is confusing, nothing is clearly explained but honestly 310m is pretty good score. Thanks for your feedback!
@ryjcio and @theseusinabottle Triggering chuckles was the main purpose, if you laughed then my job is done hehe. Thank you both for your feedback!
@ismael-rodriguez I can't say anything against your constructive feedback, you're right, there was lot of little easy things I could have done to make it better but I thought of them after the end, classic. Thanks for your feedback !
This game is wild! Really stupidly unique and humourous and I love your take on it! However I think i did glitch out the game where my character stopped moving when i pressed space and the sheep continued to move up but the background and character didnt move :( But overall still really awesome!
@keppersnapper Oh yeah, I'm not surprised at all that you glitched it, the "coding" part is dirty as hell (probably the dirtier I ever made, honestly), and I'm sure there is an infinite way to reproduce the bad effect you sadly encountered. "stupidly unique and humourous" I like that! thx for your feedback.
A surreal masterpiece, gave me a good chuckle. Well done
Nice
Pretty fun game, nice mechanics with time slow, although i don't get is there some kind of HP or something
Nice game!
What a game. The game over screen absolutely destroyed me.
Great music and art style. Loved the humour and the sheeps! Simple yet surprisingly addictive, good job :smile:
@sam-onella @rexgame @matif100 @elektroney @squeele @minipeps Thx guys for the feedback
@matif100 yes there is some kind of "totally not really visible" HP, first hit is free then you've got 10HP , each hit adds +5° to the character's angle.
I had a lot of fun with this game, reach about 380m and more! It is hard haha, that sheep at gameover is spooky lol.
Fantastic game man! :heart:
That was definitely something lol the music reminded me of the anime Paprika. Funny game
XDDDDD that game is really funny! I've been giggling like an idiot the whole run XDD and the game over screen is amazing!
Very fun game. The game over screen made me lol.
Simple but well executed.
I would have liked some kind of more clear health bar to know how many sheep before it's game over, the slanting mechanic is a cool concept but not really super visible. also sometimes you get cheap shotted coming out of the star straight into a sheep.
otherwise solid and fun!
@fireslash You're totally right, clear HP could have helped, and a little dezoom too.
@tengusheath Wow Paprika! thx! To be honest music inspiration was from there : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HikMKdl6Rnc And whole game inspiration from the 34th second, ahah.
@ds-nahogara @tengusheath @videt @kr0s @fireslash Thx you all for trying my game !
@mlho7 I totally thought of Little House on the Prarie as I played this. Good music and a great laugh. Thank you.
Thx for trying my game @michaelyount and thank you for being old, like me, ahah.
knew you for your music, didn't knew you was making games ^^
I wish there was more feedback on the "totaly hidden healthbar"
adding to the character inclinaison is in fact a great idea but it doden't really show in game
Nice work :thumbsup:
Wow, we made very similar games! In my game, the controls were gimmiccy, so now I can play your game to see if the controls weren't so tricky :joy: The star powerup made me laugh! Why didn't I put any powerups in my game :weary:
Good job! :thumbsup:
It was fun! The sheep are cute, and that game over screen had me cackling. :D
This game is very French. It also reminds me of [Rock'n roll Diogenes](https://ludonaut.itch.io/rock-n-roll-diogenes), which is another old favourite.
(Both statements above are intended as high praise)
@joonamo @sotsnut @jordgubben Thank you all for trying it.
@jordgubben TY for the link, I didn't know it lol.
That game over screen :laughing: Great art style and very funny touches really make this one shine. The slowdown effect was cool and the gameplay, though simple, was quite fun. I do wish there was a high score mode at the end to compare my runs! Great game!
Loads of humor here. The game may have been boring but you added a lot of character to this one which made replaying all the more entertaining.
This was a blast honestly. Very simple game and I wouldn't play it more than a couple times but the humor and animation and music are all great. Goes to show that a lot of polish on an otherwise simple game can be really fun. Great job on this.
Haha great XD love the sounds, animations and the humor. Nice jam :)
