Warm nights, tasty sheep, and a cave. What more could any troll want?

Well, humans want it too, you monster. How long can you survive civilization?

Arrows to move. "F" to eat sheep and break fences. "D" to defend yourself. For best results, go fullscreen.

Love the GTA1 feel, and how daynight cycle is important part of game, but player often dies from sunlight even tho he is in shelter, probably standing on wrong pixel, would be great if you fix that and add more fences and maybe a bridge to troll.

I died after 9 days and ate 115 sheeps :D
It was fun playing this game^^

I ate 78 sheep, broke 16 fences, defended myself against 13 soldiers and mistook 5 villagers for sheep.

Loved the growth in each level! Slowly there are more houses and more soldiers. Very well done!

I had fun!

Nice take on the theme! Gameplay was simple yet effective and both mechanics and controls felt pretty smooth.

Great job!!

P.S: I died from sun exposure T_T

I like the graphical style and action, however I feel the controls could be improved a little.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I'm going to go play all of your games.

Pretty fun game overall! However, on Day 11, I finished the level, and was promptly told I died. Is that a bug, or does the game end at Day 11?

Nice little game, good controls, good feedback, altough I was stuck at the start because it wasn't clear for me if I could cross the river. I discovered that you can cross the river by going over dark parts. While the other way around makes more sense, darker = deeper.

It was nice when they started putting up fences. Made it easier to eat sheep without spear men poking me.
aberdeenphoenixauthor25 Aug 2015, 16:16
Justin - darn! I was hoping no one would be able to beat level 11. Yeah, the game ends there because I didn't have time to make more levels.

Warxen - you're absolutely right about that. Didn't occur to me until after I had submitted, though.

It took me one try to figure out I needed to fill up hunger completely. The thing with hunger going up when eating was confusing in general. I so wanted to eat a villager, but never managed, but playing was kind of fun. It was interesting how humans made it easier to find food, yet more dangerous. I didn't really understand how the defense worked, if there was some way to be smart about it or if you just had to take some damage each encounter. Nice game though.

Really solid little game. Only took me a few seconds to get the basic premise which is great.

I find that most games do not have NEARLY enough bloody sheep carcasses, but this game did not disappoint!

Seriously though, I really enjoyed this one. The music set the mood well, and the graphics are nice. I thought it was pretty well balanced also. The first couple tries took me almost exactly one day to get 10 sheep.

This only suggestion I would make is to make the river crossing graphics stand out a bit more. At first I was confused by why I could cross the water in one place and not in another.

Nice work.

I like the game progression of difficulty. And the title made me laugh.

It'd be interesting if you had to manage different stats(aside from hunger and health) and the humans put a bit more resistance.

I really liked this game! Even though it was a web game, while in full screen mode it felt like it was running from my desktop.

The controls were pretty fluid, although I found myself getting stuck on some of the fence edges. I think I managed to survive for 10 days before there were a TON of guys with spears that kicked my butt.

I really like the idea, but I started on a corner island with 6 sheep, no fences, no bridges, and no idea how to do anything else! Would have liked to have seen the rest of the gameplay.

Thanks, Jupiter_Hadley! I appreciate it!

Anglerteam, you can cross the rivers at the dark parts!

Liked it a lot!
Loved the progression of the levels and the difficulty curve.
Graphics are good, but background could use more variety.
Had a lout of fun. Very good game!

Nice title.
I survived 10 days… bit of a difficulty spike there :D

It was fun seeing the human settlement become more elaborate.
I enjoyed the audio; the ambient background music was complimented nicely by the abrasive sound effects.

The controls/collisions could use a bit of tuning.
The fords could be clearer as well… maybe some little rocks would make them more readable.

Fun game, and I really liked the progression between levels.

This might of been from how the game ran in my browser, but I found the soldiers fairly slow and easy to outmaneuver, so I was able to beat level 11 without killing any of them.
