Tip for anyone having trouble with the Windows link: The Linux link works, and there is a link there to download the windows version too.

I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I will soon.

Thank you, I edited the link :-) Hope you like the game! We'll try your in the next days :-D

Ran into an error where it started rapidly switching between pause and play I think? This meant that none of my barks could refill, and movement got really bad. This made it impossible to keep the sheep alive.

Still day 7 passed and Day 8 dawned and the game just kept going.

Cheers! [-LB](https://ldjam.com/users/the-lame-brain/)

Good entry! Took a moment to get used to the controls, but it's a cute game! :D

Fun idea. It's quite addictive! Relaxing in a way, too.

Very creative gameplay! Exploding sheepies~

Browser version works well. I like this game mechanic a lot, it gets _really_ frantic when you have more than a dozen sheep still alive! The art style was sweet, and it was never hard to tell what was going on. Very nice!

Hey team, thanks for submitting your game to stream, it was a lot of fun! Here's a link to the vod if you'd like to rewatch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1171753717

Fun idea, good to space out to.

I really like the idea. The gameplay is fun and the humor is on point.

Good job!

Your game is very well designed, and the gameplay feels balanced and very polished. There was a good amount of strategy needed, and I thought it was a great difficulty. The only suggestion I have is that the rams and the dirty sheep are too similar colored, so I kept sending the rams to the washing station by accident. Overall it is a very fun and creative game! The music in your game is also very good. Great job!

Great entry: well balanced, good game design, graphics and well placed sounds. The difficulty increases over time to try to manage all the sheep. Reminds me of really old demo game, where the wolf had to gather all the sheep over time to the truck to get them cut :joy: Though I have to say this game is quite challenging (in a good way).

R.I.P all my sheeps :sunflower:

A balanced and immersive experience, cute graphics and good audio as well. I felt the difficulty curve was in a good spot based on the style of the game. Overall good stuff, great entry. :D

Would've been nice if the days were shorter. Felt like the game was more about stamina after a while, rather than dealing with properly managing the herd. Seemed like I could mostly just use the shear command to make them continually run to get their wool cut, and since the cooldown was low enough I barely ever had to use the wash command or the don't explode commands without any real incentive to do otherwise.

Great game! I enjoyed it a lot. Every aspect of it seems so polished to me, graphics are nice and clear, gameplay is balanced and fun, music is nice and very fitting, sound effects are just perfect. To top it all off it's so unique and innovative! Congratz, well done!

Ha! Smooth graphics, cute little game and concept - I like that you added "exploding".

kirby 2021-10-11 07:43

Nice graphics! Love the game

jeinzi 2021-10-11 16:47

Great game! It's easy at the beginning, but on day seven there are just so many sheep and they all explode :D

leggy 2021-10-11 17:51

@jeinzi that sounds like a sad story :cry:

labete 2021-10-11 18:05

I liked this game a lot. The sheep that stand too close to the shearing station are very hard to see/notice on time. Other than that the music is great, sound effects are on point. Overall fun to play :) I feel a little sad for the sheep I could not save :(

zimny11 2021-10-12 22:39

What a cool concept for a game. It was fun to play it. The graphic looks cute, music is nice and fit the theme and in-game mechanic are fun. Great job!

vivyhasadream 2021-10-21 00:46

I like the graphics! and the concept is very interesting, you need to do a lot of things at the same time. I only gotta save 14 sheep. suddenly they just started to explode one after another. I have no idea what have I done lol.

heiach 2021-10-21 18:45

Cute game.. but exploding sheeps?! Oh no :(

leggy 2021-10-21 19:34

@heiach your radioactive horse should understand the feeling quite good xD
