I am a sheep breeder! Yes! Fun game, took me a little while to realize the help button was just the question mark. Has a sim feel that fits the theme well. I started keeping my sheep management low by selling a ton of sheep when I realized just how long 15 years was! Music repetitive but looped nicely.

The idea has some potential, but the bare bones presentation sucks a little bit of the fun factor out of it. Not bad for a first attempt; see if you can juice it up a bit.

Yes, the feature that would have helped more than anything was the annual fair. Just didn't have time to work that out.

What can I say -- nice try. The interface was a little wierd, but great Idea.

This game made me wish I had just made a windows forms game, they make me feel nostalgic. That said, I really couldn't tell what was going on, and the music made me go insane a bit.

Cute idea, not really all that much fun though. Would have been great to have seen it as a javascript app or similar.

... all the money I made was from my allowance...

The music can be turned off by clicking the BG Music label in the status bar.

As for the money, yes I probably should have had multiple modes with the allowance and done something different with it.

LOOOL I laughed a lot while playing. The game is somewhat good and bad at the same time. One thing for sure is that it makes me laugh xD

bobiniki - just be glad I left the puns and jokes in source, they were baaaad.

I only wish I could have moved some sheep to the other pens.

Do you want to buy this sheep? Y/N pop-up prompt is a little unnecessary.

Um, I'm not sure why this didn't work for me. Maybe if I had a little farm and got to see the sheep increasing it would feel a bit more real. Right now, it kind of feels like a realtime spreadsheet more than a game... a bit too much like work...

91548 points...I loved the sheep bio pictures, i wish it were longer, i would have owned the sheep world...

Kevin - try right clicking on a sheep.

Buttercup - I appreciate your feedback.

Rabbits - you can keep playing after the scoring.

I was fight more with the interface then anything else :/
at first I liked how the game looked but the interface is just wrong.
I would've like to drag & drop sheep from one pen to the other. I don't understand why there is a speed up button as things only happen at the end of the month(or did I just miss stuff?). A next month button would've been better in my opinion. The Sell Sheep button on the bottom right looks like it means the sheep that you have selected so I was surprised when the menu for all my sheep popped up. There's no information what so ever about what makes a good sheep. When is a sheep worth more? Is it the weight? Why won't it show me the worth of the sheep anywhere? Even when I sell a sheep I don't get Information on how much money I got for the sheep. I have to look at my money to figure out how much I got for that sheep.
Managing 100 sheep isn't easy when I have to click every sheep to get information about it. I would like to see some graphical information, older sheep might get a beard, heavier sheep are bigger, mean sheep look mean.

Kayelgee-
There's some great design notes in your feedback, thank you.

The premise of sheep breeding is seemingly random. But i had an fun little time with it.

Good and interesting take on the theme. As others have pointed out, the interface was a bit hard to comprehend, drag & drop would have helped a lot! Think it is a good starting point for more work.

Interesting concept and executed very well. The whole interface feels very win95 retro-like which is not bad (I still remember good games with similar user interface).
