I really like this game! Very creative, even getting some sheeps stuck in the walls was fun :). You should really add some pictures on your page to attract more people.

The rules are simple, yet it's really fun and addictive! It's challenging but fair, and the level endings are really satisfying :)

i liked when my sheep decided to stick to the ceiling, it's just chill like that. very funny game, the controls are a bit iffy, but definitely add to the fun!

@mogmi Thanks! And thanks for reminding me about the screenshots, will add more later :)

@sp1d3rb0y Thanks, I was wondering if the effort put into those end screens was worth it :sweat_smile:

@detectivedirk Thanks! Yeah, I kinda thought that the chaos of the controls was almost more of a positive than a negative. Makes it feel like what I imagine actual herding must be like.

(PS. the "sheep stick to ceilings" ~~bug~~ feature was a last minute fix to the sheep clipping through ceilings - I'd rather have spider sheep running on ceilings than ghost sheep going through solid walls)

Really fun and addictive game, good job !

This is a really nice puzzle game, visual design looks good and even when the sheep do something silly it's more funny than anything else.

I love the pixel art! Controlling a platformer while keeping an eye on the sheep is a cool idea and made for a fun challenge

Really fun puzzle game, love how it's a simple but addictively fun concept

Very good game. I liked being able to continue despite the loss of some sheep ^^.

I love the animation of the sheep running so much! So cute

jnur 2024-10-11 16:19

@vittima Thanks, it's my favorite too!

This is hilarious and innovative. I could see this somehow being a phone app or a bigger indie game!

i had a good bit of fun with this one. the sheep were super cute. some really nice puzzle mechanics. i liked the dual controls, really added to the puzzle aspect. the death and level complete screens were a nice touch. Rest in peace to all the sheep i lost along the way haha. well done

Really smart and fun idea and well implemented!! The art is fantastic as well. A very cohesive, singular design.

If I had one complaint, it's that the middle mouse input can be finicky in browser because the auto-scroll gets enabled, but that's purely a nit-pick because you've already got alternate key-bound controls that work really well :)

Very clever mechanic and I feel the theme fit as well. Nice game.

Fun game! love command aspect of the game -- and that there is some proximity logic for which sheep obey the commands, that must have been interesting to code!

Your game is really fun but it's is so hard ! It is quite difficult to manage with my french keyboard but I had a really fun moment playing it !
