I don't understand the game sorry T^T maybe my fault BUT I really like the art direction ! All the sheep it's pretty cute !

I really enjoyed the game, it kept me engaged and it was simple and easy to get into. Lovely graphics as well, good job!

Great idea and original concept for theme execution. The only thing I wonder is why the fox kills more sheep than I have during the night. What does it mean that I have -2 sheep HAHA. Despite that, great job!

A nice little game. Couldn't continue past day 5 (next button didn't work) but was fun to play nonetheless. Great job!

i liked this game! the gameplay worked well where you had to try and micromanage your sheep against each invader and try and plan around it, its just a shame there was no audio, i also ran into a bug where i had the fox killed 5 sheep at night while i only had 2, apart from that, the game was fun!

I love having to manage so many sheep at once. :thumbsup:

Cute game, except for the sheep death sprite which made me unconfortable X_X Your environement would benefits a lot from a bit of animation to make your grass and tree wigle. But very nice art style !

Nice! took a minute to understand what I was suppossed to do, but one I did I really liked it! Would have been nice with some audio though :)

Very cute game! I'll never forget when I lost my first sheet 😭 Love the art style and simple controls. Well done!

Nice concept. And I love the way you interpreted the theme. I like that "look for danger" simulator

A simple game about keeping your sheep safe, it's similar to other types of games in this jam which are also about summoning things to a certain locations but the charm in this one comes from the cute sprites and little animation s that make the game more polished.

I like the visuals of your game a lot! The game in of itself does have some issues tho. I felt powerless when a fox appeared I tried to recall my sheep as quickly as possible and most of the times the sheep would still die without me being able to stop it, the time for the sheep to run back to you and get back to grazing was too long and a timer for how much of the day was left would have been nice. Losing sheep at each night felt completely unfair as I could do nothing to prevent it, and the game simply endet for me on day 5 when I had negative 4 sheep because of the nightly fox. All in all I like the concept and its an interesting take on the theme!

It was fun and intense! But it would be even better with audio. Also there were few bugs - on the 3rd level I started with no more sheep left and not enough money to buy more, so I kept restarting, but it only restarted the level, not the game. Also on the night after the 4th day I only had 3 sheep left, but at night fox ate 5, so I was left with -2 sheep and the next day wasn't starting. Maybe just make the fox eat random numbers of sheep every night? it would be more interesting. Overall I had fun and played it multiple times

Very cute art, and a nice base concept. I think this game would really gain a lot with sound effects to signal a predator is around, though. Or perhaps I am just slow, but there were a number of kills I simply couldn't react to in time.

I am not sure if there's any win condition to reach, or if the levels simply change and the fox eats more and more overnight to push you to increase the amount of sheep you own. I ended up only playing a few levels as I had no ideas if I was working towards something.

Cool game concept. A bit hard to begin with, but if you get used to it you can have a pretty large sheep herd. I like that there are other enemie types introduced on later days, which have a different attack angle. You can't save them all :D. Although the game didn't continue after day 5. Is this the end? A bit of a note, it is hard to see some attacks comming (they are hiding very good) and sometimes the sheeps just walk ito their attacks on the way back. And being able to buy a guard dock that you can place on the map would have been nice. With that said nice game!

Great game :) Shepherd allways reminds me to my greek grandma ^-^ The first round was a little bit tough, because i lost too many sheeps and could never recover from that. But the second round was a great experience. Enjoyed it much :)

First of, I love the artstyle, clearly some talenting people worked on this. Gameplay wise, enjoyed it, however i think there could have been some more variety, maybe a button to stop the summoning? Anyways, this game is clean af and I genuinely enjoyed it.

Thank you guys for playing and your nice comments! I have read all your feedback and will fix all the bugs your mentioned during this week, especially the bug with negative number of the sheep =)

Good and sweet game! It feels smooth and just fine. The fox is cute. 5\5!

idontgetit1 2024-04-20 11:23

Fun idea for a game, the artstyle is really good (fox is cute) and the levels get progressively harder. Some audio would have been nice but it is enjoyable nonetheless. Good job!

Great art style just needs some cute audio effects
