I thought it was a bit hard - I couldn't even get past the first level. Those sheep just move around with a mind of their own and I can't keep all of them away from all the flowers.

Fun but very hard. lots of frantic key-mashing

Interesting game, but the learning curve feels a bit steep.

That was really challenging. There were some odd cases where even when I push the sheep away they sometimes eat the flowers faster than I can react. Very cool concept though and I really like the art! Those sheep are too hungry!

Love it - reminds me of trying to keep my cat away from my houseplants O:)

Neat idea, but kind of hard.

Very interesting and fun but gonna join the chorus and say this was very difficult right from the start.

Clearly not a copy of something else but very very hard. I tried five times and couldn't get past the first level. I have the feeling that it would still be hard if I only had one sheep to control.

Ah, good, NON-minified JS :). It would've been nice to see a "source" link as well, but "view page source" is a suitable substitute in this case.

Kinda tricky, and you probably want to call preventDefault() when you handle up/down - in the embedded LD website version, up/down end up scrolling the page.

The farmer grabbing his hat constantly amused me, though :).

Funny idea, I love fact that you feel like a farmer just running frantically around pushing sheep out of the flower bushes.
I think the game could have used a tell that shows whether a sheep is going to "attack" a bush a little in advance. As it is now it feels totally random to the player if the sheep is moving towards a bush or not. I also wouldn't have created the first level with bushes in each corner, AND a big patch in the middle to defend. Give us an easy level in the beginning, so we feel like we understand how it works before we lose!

I like frantic games, but this one seems waaay too hard. I cannot handle the stress! :D

Thanks for all the feedback! We've added a simpler first level! =D =D =D =D

Whoa, the first try was harder than I expected. That, or that evil sheep was damn fast :D I'm glad they don't move as fast as you, so button pressing like crazy worked to almost teleport! :P Great game

Nice idea, I like your graphics! But too hard for me.

That was quite clever and innovative, but pretty hard! Fun graphics! I enjoyed it!

Some audio would go a long way to making this most engaging.

I had a hard time in the first level (took many tries to beat it). The next level seemed almost impossible.

The concept is really cool, but it lacks a bit of feedbacks.
Divitos11 Dec 2014, 17:07
Very challenging, but fun non-the-less!
playvue11 Dec 2014, 17:09

It's surprisingly fun. I have to admit I underestimated the concept until I realized how dumb those sheep are. And before I knew it I retried, retried and retried.

"Just get away from those flowers!!! AAAAAHHH!!! STOP! NOOOO! BAD SHEEP BAAAD! Ok that's it I'm having a Mechoui tonight.".

I moved the dude randomly and it kept telling me "You Win!", whicht got me perplexed. I liked those sheep though.
