This is so funny!

mar-zockmeister 2023-05-02 22:14

Nice idea!

daniboygg 2023-05-02 22:22

This is quite fun! However, I couldn't figure it out, does the bark do something?

spacemyname 2023-05-02 22:24

I had a blast playing!

denissobolev 2023-05-02 22:25

Sheep behave not pleasantly, constantly rest against fences and do not move. I was tired and couldn't finish it. The idea is not bad, but it needs to be improved.

rafagamedev 2023-05-02 22:27

Great idea and game! Simple art, but quite polished. I might just improve a bit the camera movement and make the map slightly smaller, other than that gameplay was solid and fun!

I really enjoyed the game! It really feels nice to play as a dog and to bark at sheep lol The models are super cute too

emojibea 2023-05-03 00:55

@daniboygg The bark mechanic was one of the last ones implemented, so it's not perfect, but it biases the sheep away from the player for a short time.

emojibea 2023-05-03 00:56

@denissobolev I definitely wasn't happy with their behavior around fences either. They have a propensity to steer into the fence when the player is too close, which is frustrating.

emojibea 2023-05-03 01:03

@rafagamedev Thank you for your kind words! The camera control was "good enough" at the time, but I wish I could've made it better.

emojibea 2023-05-03 01:04

@tomas-paim Thank you! I made them all but the houses. :)

The intro was funny! It was cool seeing the sheep move in a flock. The sheep kept getting stuck on the fence in the way that I couldn't herd them out. Also it felt daunting to bring sheep back on such a big level w/ so much space for them to get around me. I liked the animations and the barking!

emojibea 2023-05-03 02:07

@darzu Yeah...would've made some level design changes if I had the time, haha. Learning experience for sure!

greenwooddrive 2023-05-03 21:04

Hahaha thats a great little game <3 The music is perfect haha and the cute dog animation <3 <3

drtizzle 2023-05-04 22:30

Cool idea! I really like how everything looks and moves! As others have said the level is too big, and makes things a bit too complicated. It would have been fine to have a really small level, where you could see everything in one screen. And it makes it feel a little less empty!

I want to give extra kudo's for the banging music, and the rotating dog in the menu :dog2:

Very well done, especially for a first Ludum Dare!

gametrodon 2023-05-04 22:32

Generally cute, but I found myself really frustrated by the sheep behavior around corners, and they seemed to like to just turn in circles and jitter. It felt kind of bad to try to get them into the pen, only to have them wander out.

I found it difficult to play when multiple sheep seemed to behave in different ways when I got close to them. It also didn't feel like barking made much of a difference. The theme and art are cute though, and the music fit well.

jpbaraky 2023-05-04 22:32

Loved the dog little legs in the walking animation, :dog2:, the camera was a little too much to handle sometimes but it was good that it zoom out so you can see everything

emojibea 2023-05-04 22:33

@drtizzle Thank you for your kind words! Much learned for next time; we can't wait!!

emojibea 2023-05-04 22:35

@jpbaraky Thank you!! I made him myself :3 Camera control was something that definitely required more time than I allotted for it :sweat_smile:

emojibea 2023-05-04 22:37

@gametrodon Yeah..sheep behavior was "dicey" at best. Thank you for your feedback!!

larrymartinjr 2023-05-05 00:33

loved chasing sheep. they could have been more faster than they were and I think it would have been better. If the bark made them run or something that would have been cool. Very good game though.

chesschaser 2023-05-05 16:17

Cool game with an interesting take on the theme. Great job!

emojibea 2023-05-05 16:18

@larrymartinjr Thank you for your feedback!! I definitely learned some important lessons about scope and scale :sweat_smile:

My dog escaped through a hole in the fence :(

Very cute little game. The camera and collision could use a little work but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it!

the-wondering-vagabond 2023-05-05 20:12

Cool idea for a game! Camera was zooming a bit random and got stuck on the roof of the house at some point. The sheep also seemed stuck often when facing the fence and no bark would get them to move. Nice entry for a first one!

ping78 2023-05-05 20:40

There is a bark button! 11/10 would bark again.

Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare game.

Well done!

yuriscat 2023-05-06 14:34

Cool game, although the controls are a bit challenging for me, I still really like this game. Especially those little sheep and dog!

a-bond 2023-05-06 14:44

Nice idea, nice pun.

Not nice camera setup.

A co-op multiplayer would be nice too.

emojibea 2023-05-07 14:41

@a-bond Ooh, I like the idea for a couch co-op game. Adds a whole new dimension!

xk-the-name 2023-05-19 07:31

Great first time entry. Could add some more feedback for the sheep and the dog, but it's a perfect idea for a game jam. :smiley:
