The game really bugs out for me, the spacebar doesn't really do anything and the vertices for some sheep end up in weird places.... ... ? =/ (winxp, gf2mx, det3082)
Wow, it shows screenshots now while we vote. That's neato!
The game ran okay for me, high speed, lots of sheep plowing by (not broken speed like I've seen other people mention though - it was quite reasonable). Not much of a game though... Even though all the sprites face sideways, I think it still would've been a much better game if you shot upward at the sheep coming towards you out of the screen. That way at least, you would know what's coming. As it is, very little clue when or where they are.
Funny that the guy's walk animation includes firing his gun, and he has no firing animation!
Plenty of destruction, no construction, and a whole pile of sheep.
Some bugs with regard to where you can walk (I went up a hill, hit the end, presumably the end of the world, then could only get halfway back down the hill).
Here's the patched version, it shouldn't crash now. Uhm I guess the 2 people that voted need to revote. The gameplay hasn't change, the game is just a little more stable now.
I have no idea how to fix the so called "speed bug." The game is speed limited, it shouldn't render any faster than about 30 fps.
If the game doesn't crash, but you find yourself confused. Either by the speed of the sheep or the appearing to fire constantly (which he isn't) or anything else, the game is probably working fine. Just give me all ones or something a be done with it.
Couldn't really tell what was going on other than sheep running by, some of them dying (I think because I was pressing the space bar) and the guy walking. Looks pretty neat, though.
I couldn't play it... The guy kept firing when he moved, and I couldn't see the sheep (they flickered in and out of sight)... It doesn't crash or anything, I just can't play it...
I tried sheep-final.zip (936 Kb) which I think is the latest one.
It crashes on me. Invalid page fault in sheepcraft. If the game is OpenGL the it could just be that my machine is a piece of junk that doesn't seem to like advanced openGL.
Nice terrain and sprites, but that's about all that works. I wish you could rotate the camera at least. The sheep shouldn't be all in grids like they're marching, some flocking would be cool. I hope you finish this, it's looking great already, and with some gameplay behind it this could be a great game.

it also crashed the second time I ran it (I just ran the file and the computer rebooted :(

Sorry can't rate.
