I like the sherical world, it makes searching harder because you have so much less visibility. I'm not sure I see the "every 10 seconds" theme in here at all, but perhaps you focused on other things.

moasip 2022-10-04 21:25

I like the art style and music. I think the spherical world is unique and fun choice.

laurawilkinson 2022-10-04 21:32

The music, art and concept are nice together - it's a good game but not on theme :(

owca 2022-10-04 21:38

I expected something spectacular will happen when I find all the sheep but I just got a black rectangle :confused: I like the art style though.

jeff-kerman 2022-10-04 21:52

The art is super cool and it helps to disprove the flat earthers. I wonder how this is related to the theme. It would be cool to add a sheep dog to this game either playable or commandable.

denzil-gomes 2022-10-04 21:53

I'm not sure I understood where the theme came in but I can say I loved the art and the world and mood of the game. I got all 8 sheep, do they move? Because I swear the last one took a long time to find!

seisus 2022-10-04 22:04

I liked the graphics, sheep, small world feeling, very cool. Keep it up!

ugly-robot 2022-10-04 22:34

Beautiful graphics! A lovely character - and really cool you got a spherical movement system working! Well done

riphitter 2022-10-04 22:45

I enjoyed the surface of a round planet mechanic, though it made visibility low. it was fun to herd the sheep none the less!

nottahipster98 2022-10-04 22:54

The Character model and playspace are awesome!

cookie-chr 2022-10-04 22:57

Weird, the itch.io link leads to an error 404. Maybe you inadvertitely changed it?

clonze 2022-10-04 23:05

phew, found all 8. ggs.

ditam 2022-10-04 23:06

Absolutely beautiful entry! And it is engaging too, I got all 8 of them in.

When it ended, a black rectangle appeared in the middle of the screen, and just stayed there. I played the embedded version, and no errors were logged to the console (Sheep sounds intensify.), for what that's worth... I didn't run into any other issues though, runs and plays very smoothly.

I only wish that "urging" a sheep was a bit less aggressive. They are too peaceful and fluffy, it'd be more appropriate to be gentle with them.

appleplectic 2022-10-04 23:07

Fun little game - I love the circular world, which was the perfect size. Herding sheep was peaceful and relaxing, while also not being boring. Amazing graphics. Great music, and overall great job! The itch.io link doesn't work for me either, unfortunately. Also, on Firefox, the Unity embed doesn't work for me...

I think this picture sums up my experience pretty well.

I think the graphics on this game were particularly impressive, and the audio track was rather soothing. I found out that you can make the sheep float by running into them for a while, and decided to use that to do things like push them through the fence from the wrong side. Because the fence is slanted from the back, you can also easily run over it. It allowed me to get some sheep over the fence faster than to direct them around to the front.

You can also stack sheep on top of one another, as running forward seems to cause the object in front to float, and it does so in the order from front to back. I made a mini sheep tower, as well as a sheep for a hat. Had a lot of fun with this game.

jadedresearcher 2022-10-04 23:57

Very pretty game, though I found the controls difficult to handle (I only have a trackpad for a mouse which might contribute) and it wasn't clear at first the sheep didn't take themselves home (they'd disappear over the horizon and then they'd be gone forever as far as my fight with the camera was concerned) Not on theme?

nomadicrockman 2022-10-05 00:07

Love the 3d planet shaped world, but the gameplay was just too slow for me to want to keep playing.

skullsprigs 2022-10-05 00:32

oh my god. little sheep game??? this is adorable. its not on theme, but i hated the theme so i dont mind! very cute little game :)

fireslash 2022-10-05 02:51

Cute and comfy little sheep game; love the art style! You had me at sheep girl.

Also got the black rectangle at the end.

The world is just big enough that it's easy to get disoriented. I wish it had a few more land markers or perhaps a minimap as a brute force solution. Something to help me know where I am in relation to the pen.

Nice work!

n-feofentov 2022-10-05 06:48

Nice little experience. I even got a working strategy: push sheeps to the day/night border and then push them until stubmble upon a fence and trees.

I love the spherical world idea and would recommend you to put camera higher as long as horizon line is almost all the time is at the top of the screen and it feels uncomfortable.

One of my sheeps jumped over the fence and I had to find it among other already non-interactable sheeps to push it to the enter. So it would be nice to extend the trigger zone to all the inner part of the fence.

Good luck!

akacmd 2022-10-05 13:36

Lovely art style, it would be nice if there was more variety in the way you play~

sigma-g 2022-10-05 17:36

Monotonous game but the graphics and mechanics of running on a small planet are quite interesting

robert-li 2022-10-05 19:59

beautiful theme! I love sheep! The lack of vision recreates the difficulty I believe Christopher Columbus probably went through when he was sailing in sea.

patbgames 2022-10-05 20:01

Very nice graphics and cute style 🙂👍

jacobrutter 2022-10-05 23:02

Enjoyed the setting and music but got lost and it was too hard herding the sheep.

dgspitzer 2022-10-06 09:55

interesting artstyle,love it!

bobo-oh 2022-10-06 13:24

Great art! Congrats!

kevin-barrios 2022-10-06 21:03

How cool, we had a very similar concept for the last LD we submitted to! Love the art style/ visual choices. It was a little hard to navigate/see everything without a map and the sheep are hard to manage, but this has a ton of potential to be a great ape-escape-like.

upcharlie 2022-10-06 21:16

I might have missed something, but it didn't seem to fit the theme too well. The game was nice though with a clean look and the spherical world, but it did feel a bit bland.

mauvegrover 2022-10-07 00:27

Music and world was a very pleasant combo, and the spherical world works very well. Finding the pen was easy due to the light source being above it but sheep were hard to track. Maybe try making sheep travel the direction the player is facing instead of the angle from player to sheep for better aiming?

werdnalt 2022-10-07 00:30

The sheep were a bit hard to control but I enjoyed the atmosphere and the characters. Fun little game.

bangkerpow 2022-10-07 01:13

It's such a pretty game and excellent audio.

katboo 2022-10-07 11:46

Lovely sound and art style - impressive given the time restraints. Controls were a little tricky though. Found the camera panning made it really hard to control the character. Might have been easier if it was keyboard only. Fun, original concept.

lorwon 2022-10-07 12:51

Nice game :) Well done !

xpycm 2022-10-07 17:09

It would be fun, if author have added just 7 sheeps. :laughing:

beefsock 2022-10-07 22:23

Nice player model and camera zoom to behind the player when the game first starts. Love whoopin' sheep ass.

cosmo-nectarine 2022-10-08 11:10

Oh wow I just love it. It's a nice comfy game with good visuals, musics and cute sheeps (and sheep girl ofc :D).

littleperilla 2022-10-08 14:31

So, Is there anything about the theme?

adecon 2022-10-08 17:33

I'm win? :smile: изображение_2022-10-08_203315879.png

Good graphics and music. But i not find theme...

goddoesplaydice 2022-10-08 18:25

nice shader

daniel-wither 2022-10-08 19:09

The animation work is great - all animations are smooth and fit very nicely together. I had some issues with controls however, they don't feel very responsive. Directing sheep is quite hard most of the times for example. Other than that, it's a cool game and I feel like it could work well with more polish.

usenrame 2022-10-08 22:58

p3rfect ending XD

croze 2022-10-09 06:33

Cute little game, graphics are stunning, thought not sure what the tie with the theme is supposed to be. Could have used an indicator back to the pen

davidsheadgames 2022-10-09 06:39

Ram lady guides sheep home by smacking them with a cane.

The sphere world and the shader effect look good. A bit disorienting and hard to tell where the fenced area was most of the time.

Not sure how I feel about using a cane and smacking sheep with it to get them to move...

k-s-raj 2022-10-09 08:46

great game nice graphics but some places have collision problem.

lexi 2022-10-09 10:54

Nice art and music! Really enjoyed hitting the sheeps 😂

Maybe it was just me, but I had problems starting the game, because I didn't see 'Space to begin' in the bottom left 😅

mar3k 2022-10-09 14:01

Really nice relaxing game. The art is nice and the map the same, although it would be nice to have some kind of 3d minimap to know where to lead the sheep. Well done.

matt-ravenhall 2022-10-09 17:47

Really chill game this, nicely done.

It would be nice to have more indicators of direction, pen location, and number of sheep remaining. Perhaps more landmarks too? The lake was my main navigation aid.

Winning was a little disappointing, as I was met with the black rectangle.

All in all, a really chill experience.

sailors 2022-10-09 19:08

Great game. I liked its relaxing atmosphere. Also music fit perfectly, I especially like that!

jk5000 2022-10-09 19:20

A fun and well made little game. Good job.

zuhairghias 2022-10-10 04:25

Loved the art style and music. Very therapeutic game!

freerunner 2022-10-10 09:12

I loved the art style, the washed out colors. The theme is great, and the spherical planet is really cool. Very well made. Super relaxing atmosphere :) I didn't find what the 10 seconds element was, the sheep didn't run for 10 seconds, maybe that's too long too, but perhaps something else could be implemented :)

reinhpash 2022-10-10 14:24

i think music is so much loud, artstyle is good but I couldn't quite catch the harmony with the theme.

unitedfailures 2022-10-11 03:54

Yoo, cool that you got planetary-walkig working. I've struggled implementing that is the past - so props to you

king-zhou 2022-10-11 07:44

Such a relaxing and fun game! good work

nakami 2022-10-12 21:28

Nice game but a wisel or another thing would be cool rather than a stick hit ;)
