This is it. My first Ludum Dare Game. Mixed feelings.
Bringing back sheep to the endzone causes them to spawn on the next level. So in each stage there will be more and more sheep making it harder to get them to the endzone.
You can stack up to 6 sheep. But each sheep makes you heavier making jumps (or movement) nearly impossible.
Call sheep to let them go to your position. If you're to far ahead, they won't follow you.
If you're falling down a gap, you'll respawn at the start of the level. You only lose some time. However if one sheep falls down it is lost. It gets only back if you reset the complete level.
My total score was 73.170 points. _Can you beat it?_
If somethings like that happen, simply press R to reset the level. Sorry for any inconveniences.
You will need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6 or later to play this game.
You can download it from the official java website.
2. Graphics took way to long. Next time I have to develop a more simplisitc style for easier and faster drawing progress
3. If I had had more time, I would have included audio. Sadly no baa sound... no chilly music...
About the game
You play as a (stylish) shepherd who tries to get his sheep to the endzone of the levels. For each level you get a score depending on your time and the number of sheep brought to the endzone.Bringing back sheep to the endzone causes them to spawn on the next level.

Things that went wrong
1. Time management was harsh. I did not provide any code templates for LibGDX (except rudimental collision detection), so I had to implement everything from skratch2. Graphics took way to long. Next time I have to develop a more simplisitc style for easier and faster drawing progress
3. If I had had more time, I would have included audio. Sadly no baa sound... no chilly music...
