After our first game ever participation in LD41, here we are with a second game submission for ludum dare 42 under the theme "running out of space". This is the result few hours of development, bugs are there, and the ideas aren't well implemented.
The game looks really great, I'm impressed. The concept is good too, and I think this could make a good game. I think the game could be improved by making the player susceptible to the rollers as well. Maybe some randomness could be added to the rollers and the sheep could move around more (even out of the safe zone) to make it more interesting. Well done :)
This was fun! Don't sell yourselves short in the description of the game. Or at least wait until the end to tell me some of the bugs or something.
I would have liked to have a funny squashing noise or something when the sheep gets run over by the spiky death rods.
I also had a ninja sheep that spawned on one side of the level and just happened to be walking at the right speed which took him between and around all the traps. I was happy to save him when he reached the other side and it made me chuckle.
Simple idea, nice looking game. It was pretty funny having the sheep disappear right as I was holding it. Then I found out the secret strategy to hold the sheep in the sky so it can't be hit :P.
Loved the graphics. The Audio fit with with the theme really well. Although towards the end most sheep would get instantly crushed. That with the slower spawn time made it difficult to get late points. Enjoyed play, well done!
@zlabya Well, this is a peculiar situation since the timer has been extended by 24 hours because of all the lag on the site. You could do it, but it is supposed to be only for submiting.
Loved the game, i've saved 6 sheep. But you could've added an animation of the sheep while walking and the text was so blurry you could've use a higher font size and lowered the scale. and i've faced a bug where i jumped over the black moving thing and couldn't get back. but overall i liked the game good idea. Keep up!
Really nice game! Awesome theme and running around frantically to save those poor things is wonderful! Maybe a bit more feedback on saving sheeps would motivate me more, but this was very nice! The spawnrate for sheep could be increased for more tension, and maybe the chance of saved sheep to escape back into the danger zone would make it more interesting. And maybe getting damaged by those spikes yourself would be a fun idea too. Great job!
The graphic and audio is really nice. The gameplay is very entertaining, took me awhile to figure out I can jump by press Space button. The only thing I could ask is a timer or a score system.
The game is definitely challenging from start to finish, but I think to add even more challenge is to have the player die from the rolling spikes. When I found out that I could have walked through the obstacles without taking any penalty was a little immersion breaking for me. Graphics are pretty nice, although they're pretty simple still.
The game feels a bit empty, there's no goal. I don't know if sheep placed in safety can also wander out as I saw one sheep near the fence and I'm sure I placed all behind it. Wish there was more audio and perhaps progession in some way, not just rollers speeding up. As everyone said low poly graphics are great!
Haha great little game, would have been great if the player had to avoid the obstacles too and the sheep could wonder back in haha. Also, some kind of hint as to where the sheep would spawn next would help :)
Cool little game ! Would have been more challenging if there were randomized directions etc. But very well done, I enjoyed it ! Thank you for the entry. I love the detail with dead trees behind the roller. The only obvious thing I would change in terms of graphics is to make the bulldozer bigger, having it come closer as well, it would seem more menacing ! But well done !
Guess who's not making it into the Sheep Protection Force [SPF]? :P Good idea and fun gameplay. Could use a UI showing the number of saved sheep. The audio was quite relaxing, and certainly took away the horror from all the sheep getting crushed. Good job overall.
Love the game. It is extremely fun to play. If there was one thing I would add it would be the death effect for sheep... like the bloody explosion :smiley:
Lovely clean graphics, and solid gameplay. My only suggestion is making the text higher resolution - it makes a big difference with this style of graphics! Great job.
Very nice idea and simple but effective implementation! I've enjoyed playing it, although the last minutes i did not rescued any sheep cause they were dead immediately after they spawned :sweat_smile:
Haha this game is brutal :D You really did a good job with the graphics and gameplay in such a short time. Also I managed to jump over the Incoming Wall of Doom :D
I like the mood and the sound design is top notch. Cool low poly aesthetics also.. That could have been great to have more feedback when the sheeps are killed, maybe some blood splatter ? Or maybe not :sweat_smile: Cool little game, congrats!

Nice entry, especially for your second!
Good job!
Could use some timers and counters to keep track of player's progress though.
I wish you great success!

Thank you all for your lovely comments and feedback, i'll polish it.
