My first ever Ludum dare entry, and my first ever game.
It's ugly, riddled with bugs and pretty awful in most respects, but I'm pleased I managed to create something that you can actually 'play'
Controls:
Move with WASD / Arrow keys
M will mute all sound
For Windows build, ESC will quit the game.
The game involves you playing as a sheep, the goal is to eat fruit and grow in size. However! There are other sheep also eating fruit and growing in size, eat sheep that are smaller than you but avoid any sheep that are larger.
You will gradually shrink in size when you are not eating fruit.
I didn't get around to creating a title screen, so you are thrown straight into the game. When you are eaten by a larger sheep, the game will reset and you will be respawned.
It resembled a similar game with fishes - which I like, so this is nice as well! I'd create a larger map, and perhaps a more cruel starvation curve :) But overall, well done!
Reminds me of the intro to Spore, and Agar.io. Simple, yet entertaining. Though I wish there was more to do. Also, blood splatters when consuming your kin would add to the humour of doing so -- it would make you feel that much more evil.
It effectively lack a goal but well done overall! Flow/Spore/Agar.io really have inspire a lot of people with this "growing" theme, but it's a good inspiration :)
Pretty humorous take on the "eat smaller things to grow whilst avoiding bigger things" mechanic. I really like how your sheep shrinks in size over time. Overall not bad for your first game :)
Was kinda awkward to control, since the LD34 site put the game in a subwindow, which was also controlled by the arrow keys, so my actual camera was moving around like crazy. Pretty simle, and like many have mentioned it compares to Agar.Io . The slowly shrinking effect does add a bit more tension to the process though.
