LD2 — Construction/Destruction

Sheep Town by ShredWheat

Amazing what you've done in 48h! And it's the only game I've played so far in which the sheep are REALLY important, not just cosmetic add-ons... Too bad you didn't include any destruction, but the topic was a hard one on that...

Hitsuji: Shears Of Fury by Jamul

The controls were pretty awkward, at least for me... I couldn't do almost any of the combos... And it doesn't have any construction... The only thing that detracts from the game is the controls, at least for me...
But, as usual, it's one of the most polished games here! :) Nic work!

The Destruction of The Sheep by Jolle

GREAT GAME! I always loved this type of game (reminds me of inversed lemmings)... My only complaint is on the collision detection (or equivelent)... Sometimes the sheep would just pass through a trap and don't get killed!

Whew.. still, buggy by Ufo Z

Very good... My only complaint is the collision detection... The rest is great... Needs a bit more work on the AI, but besides that! Make it a 2 player game and you've got a hit! :)

Sheeps R Us by Gutter

Great game... Wished it had sound... and some progress...

Run Away Sheep by matricks

It was a fun game... but too simple in all respects... but I admit, it's quite solid...

The Sheep Wars by shang

Loved it! :) Bring it on... A four opponent mode would be cool, like multiplayer team thingy... It was a very nice entry!

save the sheep by UberHaxor

Very good, very good... I loved the game, but I agree with Jamul here... An objective and mouse control would be great... Or at least don't get each new blocks at the same position... use the last cursor position... Different levels would be nice, and some powerups... Loved it!

Sheep Rescue by MattB

Wow! Custom controls! Irritating sheep sound... One of the best in gameplay and fun... It was one of the few I really felt like playing! :)

SheepShifter by JM

A very nice game indeed...
Completeness: Not very complete, in the sense that it only has 5 levels, and for a game that doesn't take much to program, only five levels is a bit low on something that's totally centered on problem solving...
Cosmetic Theme: The sheep theme is only there marginally (like my own entry)
Gameplay Theme: I think that the emphasis of the game should be more construction/destruction centered... The game is centered on getting the sheep to the fence, not on the actually cons/decons thing... And dropping crates into the water is not what I would call exactly construction...
Technical: Nothing special here... Straightforward 2d blitting... :)
Sound: Only a sound of a sheep bleating...
Graphics: Very nice to look at, specially the title screen and the background...
Fun: Pretty fun to play, reminds me of my good old days playing Sokoban...
Gameplay: Great gameplay, although not overly original...

Sheep Strike by PoVRAZOR

Very good... My only problem with it is that I don't know what to do to get cannons... They appeared sometimes, but I couldn't quite figure out why!

Bleaters by sjbrown

Couldn't figure out how to play, really... But then, it's 3am, gonna try it again tomorrow... :)

Trans-Icelandic Express by jovoc

A bit complicated for me... Still, with a few adjustments, it could be a hit... The control system is VERY hard to use, in my opinion...

Final submission of "Living Sheep" by mikedoty

I didn't rate gameplay because I couldn't play it past level 3 or 4 (the one in the screenshot)... My sheep only had missiles... Maybe I'm dumb, maybe my computer is screwed, but everyone else seem to get along fine, so I'm rating the game a bit on what I expect it would be if I could play it...

Bathroom Teacher by mrfun

Very repetitive... The ideia is twisted, I like it, but it could do with more variation (although I can't think of anything)... The sound was very good, the graphics were nice (although photos are easy to use!)... No construction or destruction, really...

Sheep Attack by SodoMaxx

Ok, I finally saw the game... Cool concept! :) And great intro... I liked the music, although it became a bit repetitive, and a map would help (not on the first mission of course!)

Robo Sheep by mfassett

No construction, but I subscribe everything else that has been said...

Sheep & Crates by elak

A pretty nice game, boring after a while... Amazing graphics, though... Technical score a bit low because this was easily done (technically speaking of course)... And gameplay theme was low too because it doesn't have any construction OR destruction!

Mut Shbin by Thenend

Couldn't build the sheep... It went straight to the city destruction part... That part was fun! :) So, no construction points, but plenty destruction ones... Graphics are nice, and some sounds, although they get irritating... :) Got lots of problems with the collision detection, though... Sheep got stuck a lot...

Final by entheh

Just heard the music, and then my monitor would turn off (like it got no vid signal)... Just gave you marks for the music... did you compose it yourself? It sounded nice...

Union Jack - with by nonnus29

Didn't rate the gameplay because the framerate on my computer with JVM 1.4 was about 5 FPS... :(
It reminded me of old NES titles! :)

Onslaught! Sounds intriguing, no? by bugboy

Good try, although it lacks a certain variety... The sounds are great (a bit loud, but great)... And I noticed the sheep! :)

SoaringSheep final entry by LoneStranger

A bit easy and boring after a few tries... But balistic games are always fun... As Jamul pointed out, you missed some basic gameplay elements in a balistics game... No real skill was involved...

BallerSchaf - Sheep of Death by Balooga03

A bit repetitive... I couldn't see the intro, though... But I had some fun running over the sheep... Doesn't seem to be complete, though... And I couldn't shoot! :(

final entry by richard

Nice entry... Everything is quite good, except the controls... the farmer gets stuck on the walls for no apparent reason... Other than that, it's very good! No sound, though... :(

Killer Sheep, And A Cool Zombie! by Pintle

Lacks levels... Has construction and destruction (of little stuff) and sheep (and a zombie too!)... Good graphics, oh, the intro was GREAT! Fun gets one more mark because of that... I played this quite a while, so it ranks pretty high on the gameplay... One of my favorites... Add sound, levels and some traps and such and you have a great game!

Entry by DavemanInSeattle

Well, I have nothing to add besides what has been said... You should have given more thought to the gameplay, you could have a winner with the chainsaw wolf thing...

World Domination: Sheep vs Wolves by ghowland

Got nothing to add to the above... Except banging you on the head for making Portugal a part of Spain in your game! :P
Nice RISK clone... Waiting to see what you do with this...

Sammy The Sheep by Tybal

Procedural levels, yay! :) Didn't like the controls, though... The rest is pretty decent! :)

Sheep Thieves by segludian

The farmer was too slow, no powerups, no construction... the graphics looked nice, though... wished I could make stuff like that!

chicken by yq713

No sheep!!!!! The "cinematics" were a good idea, it worked well... although it doesn't disguise the lack of SHEEP... And it was very buggy!

Sheep Massacre by Josh5231

Hardly playable for me... And no construction/destruction...

Sheep Dome by LordCovenant

Ok, this is my scores for my game, and I'll explain them all, so people can understand why I vote the way I do:
Completeness: 1, because the game isn't complete in the game sense, although it already has some features that would be necessary in a complete version...
Cosmetic theme: 2. As I already explained in some thread, my idea of the cosmetic theme is doing the best to exploit the cosmetic theme itself... For example, if I used a shear-thrower instead of a machine-gun, that would raise this score to a 3... As it stands, the game only has a sheep because I HAD to put it there...
Gameplay Theme: 4... It had construction (you could build platforms), and it had destructions (you could destroy the enemies platforms, although there's a flag in the level config that you can set to allow total destruction of platforms, and even some set elements, that didn't make it to the final version).
Technical: 3, because it's a hard game to make in 48h, and if it had AI, I would rate it a 4... It has lots of difficult stuff to make...
Sound: 4... I really like the sound, from the satanic sheep bah to the soundtrack of the game... I think it had the longest background music of the compo... Look, ma, no keyboards! :)
Graphics: 2... They're blocks, and the sheep don't look that nice, and they're missing the weapons! And the powerups are just basic primitives...
Fun: 1... You really can't judge a game that doesn't play... I just don't give it a N/A because... er... because you can play... Sort of...
Gameplay Innovation: 4... I think it was the first time someone did an FPS that allowed you to construct... Destruction was already covered by Red Faction, for instance...
Overall: 1... This isn't a game, it's more of a proof of concept or a tech demo...

And to comment on some comments, thank you all for taking the time to vote, and so generously... Too generously, IMHO, but you have your own systems, I guess... And if everybody got his systems, it all evens out at the end... I hope, or else I'll get a lynch mob on my house! :)

48game valles by valles

WHAT?!?!?

LD4 — Infection

Insanity by allefant

The leves are quite complex and that ruled... Some bugs, though (going downstairs made my character glide in the air) and the game finally crashed completely... The game isn't as fun as it could have been if you could kill your enemies with a chainsaw or a shotgun... But rather than that, it was cool!

Commies! by randomnine

Great one, really! I was looking forward to playing this and I wasn't disapointed... Add some buildings and stuff like that and it will be an awesome game!

Infected! by Krzysiek-K

Nice entry, this one... Needs a crosshair, though... and enemy variety... This way, it's a bit monotonous...

The Destruction of the Viruses by Jolle

I had soem fun playing the first levels, but then it just become a bit boring... Too many virus... I would prefer tougher ones, but less in quantity...

Infection Fighter by adriczero

Too hard to change the direction of the ship... That's the main reason I didn't think the game was fun... The idea is interesting, though... Some problems with my computer (animation was too jumpy, even in my P4 2.66 with Radeon 9800 PRO)

Invasion of the Blobs by logicalhippo

Very good entry... It's fun to play, to a certain extent (then it just becomes frustrating)... The sound also becomes a bit irritating at times (the music is great)

Jelly by Cenozoic

Another entry that's too hard... :( I couldn't even get past level 1... Take the gravity of the gameplay and I feel it's going to be great... Although it's a great effort for 3 hours!

Gooploid by Gnatinator

Didn't like it very much... Don't think it's on-topic, really (infection is diferent from contamination, IMHO)... Thought it quite boring, although it had a nice look...

infekchion by illume

No challenge... Although the highscore table is a good idea...

Infection Terminator (as done as it is getting) by segludian

Not really a game, so it's kind of hard to judge...

infeXion by bluescreen

As usual, great entry, bluescreen... Theme is only 3, because the theme of your game is more contamination than infection... The music was nice, but it had some looping problems that got quite anoying at some parts... Graphics were awesome, and the game wasn't funnier to play because it's too damn hard, verging on frustration rather than challenge... Innovation is low (as you stated in your own description, it was thrust+asteroids)... Overall it's a very polished entry and a very good one!

Zombiepox by peitz

Cool... Brains.... :)

Pathogen Warrior by tonic

Very nice, very polished work... Good job!

Zombie Epidemic by Ufo Z

I was kind of disapointed with this game... at the beggining, I struggled hard to get to the level where I got the car... then, I got it... and it was almost undrivable... :( Still, high marks for all technical accomplishments... would get a higher score if it wasn't all the collision problems... and the game gave out a buffer overrun on exit...

Plague! by wobbler

The idea was good, but after 1 turn, the game crashes... I tried it several times, but it didn't work... was missing glut32.dll...

Antigen by Mark Fassett

Another asteroid clone... Still, it's very playable...

infection-terror by Chronocore

Reminds me of old Krakatoa game on the Spectrum... Couldn't play it, really... It was too god-damn fast... Couldn't land (always crashed because of the speed issue), so I couldn't really judge how fun it was...

Snag by shredwheat

As always, a great entry... Great game, very interesting in a game design view...

Infectrons (FINISHED) by LoneCoyote

Nice one, although it becomes boring after a while... It lacks variety, and there seems to be some collision detection issues, that sometimes are extremely anoying...

Corruption by meethezero

COuld be quite cool... but normal mode is too slow, and debug mode is too fast... and the anti-virus should have a more sofisticated, albeit easier to beat behavior... maybe related to what file was infected last (could trick him or something)...

Antibody by TwinnedArak

Very original idea... the only problem is the strange screen size... I couldn't see a good part of the screen (I'm running my desktop at 1024x768)... Make it a game, and it will be great!

Most Extreme Infection by mcarroll

Couldn't understand this one... and it was major buggy (slowdowns, full stops, etc)...

Fuc Man by Impossible

Wish this one was complete... :(

Raids (not finished) by drZool

Well, the game wasn't really complete, but I had some fun shooting the zombies... great graphics, by the way... No fun going back, though... :| Impressive you did it in Director (didn't know director could do something like that, really)...

Zombie Death (FINISHED) by wisebede

Ok, I kept playing this one for some time... it's too hard, imho, the initial configuration matters to much on the game (sometimes I would reach level 4 easily, other I wouldn't even get past level 1!!), extra lifes would be nice, and infection shouldn't take place so fast (just touch them!??! Come on!)... The story thing was the thing that kept me going, so that was very well done!

Mind Controlling Killer Virus! by survivor

Great puzzler... Too few levels, though... :(

BioWulf by DrTiger

Er... Sorry, but it was a bit boring for my taste... The sheep erratic behaviour led to pure luck in getting over a level or not... and the lack of feedback on shooting (video or audio) made it a very less rewarding experience...

Shrooms! by zoggles

Top notch graphics... the gameplay was a bit boring sometimes (and it was possible to reach a dead end in the game, which was quite anoying... :( )

Infectoban by flgr

Not too original nor in-topic, but it was rather fun to play, really... and very challenging (only got to level 4, but didn't understood what I had to do)... some instruction would be useful, really...

Diaspora by alia

Well, this seems like a very nice entry, although it's too random for me... I've tried playing it for a while, but the oponnent was too fast for me, and I didn't have any real metric of how I was doing (let alone understand half of what I was doing)... I think some sound would definetly help here...

SDLInfection by Endurion

Quite fun, although a bit boring in the end... in the long run, it's too easy (I finished it the first time I played)... Again the random themeness (that is, you don't feel in control of the events... Most of the game is spent only looking at the screen)...

Plague City by Kevin

Running over people fun! :) The problem is that there is little sense of accomplishment when you finally kill all the infected guys... :( BTW, loved the "reverse" sound! :)

Zombies by MattD

Interesting... lacks variety, though... and there are some strange bugs (flashing yellow triangles, sometimes, and the zombies act wild and are invulnerable to shooting!)

InnerBody (FINISHED) by mrfun

Quite fun game to play, really... Very hard, after level 2... Weeeeeeee....

Vaccinator by Negator

Great game... I'm just sorry I couldn't get past level 6... :( Anyway, great job with this one...

Cuzco's Goat Bloat Game by philhassey

Great game... Laughed my ass off with the intro and the sounds (did you play the violin yourself?)...

The Trouble with Tribbles by Gopher

Very nice... I feel like doing a GBA game next time... eheheh... :) The problem with this game is that it's always the same thing... and the lack of sound also annoys a bit...

Microbattle by dumple

Very, very, very good... It was fun playing... Even the "vector" graphics had their charm... the "tutorial" at the start was very good tood... My only complaint at this game is the fact that it runs in a window that takes up my whole desktop (and I couldn't see the whole of it because of my taskbar at the bottom)... It would be better if the game ran in full screen mode...

Unknown by McSteel

Well, it was quite fun at first... then it began to be everything the same... still, the sounds were quite funny...

Infected Blood by filami

Well, this is the best snake I've ever played so far... The only problem is that it isn't very original and I do not think it's in the theme, really... Other than that, it's great!

Youve Got COOTIES!! (FINISHED) by EricDB

Man, this couldn've been an awesome game; the problem is the randomness of it... If you add a time limit for each play, and if you make sure that the player can play the piece without getting a grey cootie, then you have a shareware hit on your hand!
