LD2 — Construction/Destruction

Sheep Town by ShredWheat

Could repeat almost everything Jamul said. This is definately my favorite entry so far.

The gameplay graphics themself are pretty crude, but the GUI is pretty and slick, hence the 4 points.

One point off from gameplay theme for not having destruction.

I was going to rate Gameplay higher at first, but after figuring out how the farmers work and what to build first, there isn't really that much to do. Maybe some events like wolves that make you brake your "sheperds in, sheperds out"-routine would have helped.

Nevertheless, a great display of game design skills for a 48h game.

Hitsuji: Shears Of Fury by Jamul

Probably the most polished and finished game in the whole competition, but it does not have all that much to do with the theme. The animation system is very cool. Air dashes, double jumps etc. make it very fun, even though I don't normally enjoy platformers all that much.

The Destruction of The Sheep by Jolle

Great fun and great gore particles! :)

I wish you could select the level you play. The first maps are pretty tedious after the first time you play them.

Sheeps R Us by Gutter

A great idea and a good implementation. Definately too easy though. Building the walls is so fast that I don't think the game will ever end unless I exit it myself. Could've used some additional things to spend your money on too.

Staying with this formula and spicing it up a bit would be a sure keeper.

save the sheep by UberHaxor

Fun and visually nice. My main complaint is that the controls felt a bit sluggish.

Sheep Strike by PoVRAZOR

Pretty fun game and a good idea. Too easy to wall in though and the waves of sheep don't seem to get much harder with time. I wish there was a bit more strategy involved in placing the blocks. Now you can just pile them on top of your cannons and wolves as fast as you can.

The aiming system get a bit getting used to, but works ok after some practice. Having no wind or variable positions means that once you find the "sweet spot" in aiming you can just fire away and hit with each sheep.

Sound was pretty good and the Monty Python-like "Run away! Run away!" made my day. :)

A bit weak on the construction theme.

Sheep O Rama by Bastian von Halem

Pretty fun for a while. Wolves eating sheep eating grass adds makes for a nice ecosystem feel. Some nice sound effects, but the music is really annoying when the loop is so short.

BallerSchaf - Sheep of Death by Balooga03

Great intro and the tank looks good. Also, the tank controls felt good. The music gets annoying really quick. :)

Attack Sheep by Zaphos

A very interesting idea, but the execution has some problems. Pretty much what everyone else has already said. :)

Entry by DavemanInSeattle

Hehe, the wolf IS great. :)

There isn't much you can do gameplay-wise. The sheep move slowly and randomly and the wolf moves quickly, randomly and through all obstacles. Maybe I just don't get the idea, but seems that no matter how you place the walls, it's pretty much just pure luck.

Sheep Thieves by segludian

A bit simple and that farmer is one slow bugger. :)

Not much about construction.
