A monster comes across a quiet ranch in the night...
The game is very short, maybe <5 mins or so. I hope you like it! For most part I was focusing on the overall feel and mood of the game so I hope I was able to do something there!

Gorgeous graphics, and I noted that the character sprite changed subtly depending on whether they were facing 'up' or 'down' - That's polish! Also, the graphics complimented the mood.
My only complaints are that music was a little repetitive and and the AI tended to wig out I started killing. That aside, job well done!
Good mood, very short. The animations look good but the mouth of the beast is a litte crazy fast. Entertaining slaugther game. Would play again if it had more levels.
Amazing pixel art, especially the beast's animations. Colors could be a bit better. Wish there was more and more interesting stuff to do. Which just means, I had fun with the game and would like to have it expanded. :)
I definitely see what you mean by concentrating on the feel of the game. The dragon-like character looks menacing and had a really nasty bite, I almost felt bad for the sheep but then remembered the theme! I thought the music was well done too. Although I agree with other comments that the color palate should be brightened.
Great start. It would have been nice to have an objective, but the movement was smooth. I can't play it for long because my tendonitis doesn't enjoy button mashing.

Sad...sad..
The game looks nice, and I got really hungry while playing it. :)

The graphics and animations are the best I've seen in the competition - bar none.
The audio is great too. The controls are a bit floaty but that's really a nit-pick.
The only problem is that it's too short!
To be honest, at first I think we will burn them :)
Poor sheep :(
