Cool game overall. I like the concept of delaying spring, it fit the theme well. I also like the scoreboard, I am at 67 seconds. I wish there is a way to avoid the grandpa with the stick. Even if I don't go near him, he will teleport behind me and mess me up.
Cool graphics, idea and execution of the theme is top notch.
Awesome! I'm joe on the highscore board (the ONLINE highscore board. in a COMPO GAME!?!??! HOW) Nice lil gameplay loop, fits the theme, quite fun.
I really like this game, the art looks good, the audio is nice and the game itself is fun. The grandpa is quite anoying, so maybe another or a more predictable solution for that problem.
Adding a scoreboard made me play again to try and break the high score :)
Very cool. Could also imagine as a 1v1 game
Oh nice logo you got there ^^
Nice game, it reminded me of the early gameboy games but with better graphics. Really fits the theme! Im only place 3 on the Highscore, will come back to climb the ladder for a little bit. :D Great game overall!
Loved the gameplay, simple ad effective! Good job!
Nice game. I like the character art.
Nice little game! The concept is easy to grasp and fun. Good job!
So cute! Nice graphics, unique concept! I'm completely against the idea of delaying spring so I'd rather play as the old dude but oh well..
Nice game idea. The controls felt a little stiff and it sometimes felt like I got stuck. The character graphics were really well done. Good job! I managed to delay spring by 90 seconds.
Good work on the high score list. It made me replay the game multiple times. I ended up with 296s (name: 'wow') :smile: It got easier after I figured out Cloud Shepherds movement patterns :)
Thanks for all the kind and constructive comments. Very much appreciated! :heart:
@flightless that's awesome! My record in the final version was just a little over 200 seconds. I went with a semi-random pattern to give the player a chance of delaying spring even further, once they figure it out.
Great game, simple but effective gameplay. The art is well done, just wished there was some soundtrack.
You somehow managed to have an online leaderboard, you are a madman hahahaha
Great job!
Nice little game, as usual with this this games, it has an additictive feel to it. The only thing I wished for is some gameplay variety.
Simple game mechanics are the best. Including a feature of online highscores is great! Good job!
Cloud Shepherd is the best shepherd since Mass Effect. Good job!

I liked the art of the game! I didnt understand fast the movement of the White beard guy the first time, but after that, the gameplay loop were smooth :) :)
Congratulations team \o/
Super simple and fun little game. I had fun trying it. The visuals is also good. The game could have used some music and perhaps a bit more sound effects. Overall a good jam game. Well done.
@chaoseiro @jk5000 yeah, it's really missing a soundtrack. I had a free one in it but didn't realise until submission that external assets aren't allowed in compo (you're not allowed to opt-out of a category) so I had to remove it and had no time left to come up with something on my own. That's my main take away for the next jam: Allot some time for a simple soundtrack :smile:

I love Lumi! :) I think someone was hoping for the folklore theme XD great graphics! I loved the discrete jumping between clouds mechanic. That old man is annoying af. Great submission!
I've visualized overhead clouds as a flock of sheep innumerable times; a game that has a cloud shepherd and a cloud tipper (or shaker) takes it beyond that vision :-) Fantastically imaginative application of theme.
Great idea. I like the art style. A nice soundtrack would be great. But still a very nice entry. Keep it up!
Cute little game. I like the simplicity, but it also becomes a bit boring quite fast. The bearded guy feels unnecessarily harsh. Like, I'm not sure if there's much strategy involved here besides staying away from him. Would be nice if you could fight him somehow perhaps? Or just not have him there at all, because he's just a frustrating element to an otherwise fun and cute game.
The game works well with the theme. An online highscore is very good for a game like this. Overall good entry for a compo!
Nice game!
Simple, fun and responsive. Visuals and sounds are very clear. Gameplay is innovative and fun for a time, even if it gets repetitive quite fast.
Awesome job for compo!
Wonderful little entry! I love the simplicity of it, and the retro style is just on-point. I also always just appreciate unique mechanics in games, definitely haven't seen anything like this before. :slight_smile: Nice job!!
The concept is nice and the game is really cute, I wish there were more mechanics and that the difficulty would ramp up over time, as it is it feels like I could go on forever as long as I shake the clouds far from the old guy.
