Definitely an amazingly unfair game... nearly impossible for the constructor. Especially weird: why does the constructor have to wait so long before hitting the on button each time?
Great graphics though, and a good idea, to have someone destroy them and someone else try to rebuild (although it really forces the builder to hinge entirely on the shooter... he has nothing to do if the other guy doesn't shoot... releasing sheep is fairly pointless). Kinda slow-paced overall. Weird weird game.
Good sound too, and I love the way the sheep munch.
But I swear that on-button thing is a major bug.

Hehe fun. The on button and the fireing is a little un responsive. It's be great to have it with diffent colour shep to mix and match back together
Yes the game is very unbalanced, unfortunatly I had no one to playtest with. (she was a sleep). so I added the option of tuning the game scoring system. It's in the main menu, under options.
Try incresing the points for resurrection and save. and set sheepTime to zero. that way it will be more balanced.
If a lot of sheep are released at the same time they will be scared of the gun and run off the screen. The sheep are infact little fuzzy state machines ;)
Great graphics. I like the idea of destructing sheeps and then reconstructing it, really fits the teme. But I didn't enjoyed much :-( Sorry. Maybe with different kinds of sheeps so you can mix the body parts... And also a farmer to kill and then mix the... Er... Forget it. :-X
What a sick game. I was mainly interested in putting sheep back together but couldn't. The on button is way to hard to push on my pathetic little machine.
Overall - 2 - Sorry not very fun, and that is where I weigh heaviest
Gameplay Innovation - 4 - I like the idea of patching the sheep back together, that popped you up a notch from average
Fun - 2 - Sorry speed problems and the fact that I couldn't get any sheep back together kind of wrecked it for me.
Graphics - 4 - Looks very good.
Sound - 3 - What there is is good, could use some more.
Technical - 4 - Gave you an extra point for the nice drag & drop operation
Gameplay Theme - 4 - There is both construction and destruction. Probably would have given you 5 if I could have seen a sheep come back to life, but the game ends for me just 10 seconds after I shoot the first sheep and its innards hit the ground. Timer seems independent of framerate.
Cosmetic Theme - 4 - There are sheep, lots of them and they fit the game.
Completeness - 4 - You get an extra point for having a title screen.
Very creative and well presented. Even fun at points! However, the inability to construct more than one sheep at a time, the fact that the 'On' button isn't always on (even when I have a full sheep), and the bug that doesn't let you drag sheep parts that land on the van (it interprets thems as clicks to let more sheep go not clicks to grab parts) make it a lot less fun than it should be. I would really, really love to see a post-contest version of this with those things fixed.
