The Evil Shepherd is a fast pace strategy game, where your goal is to survive the most you can. Take care of your sheep and drain from their lives to survive.

How to play:
A, W, S, D - Move the character
Left Click - Show Sheep status / Drain sheep power / Attract sheep

Drag the sheep to the desired location to fulfill their needs.
Hay - Hunger
Water - Thirsty
Salt - Joy

The life regeneration consumes food and water.
The sheep can only reproduce with joy over 50%.
Eating salt increases the thirsty.
Gain experience from killing sheep.

This is my first attempt in a Ludum Dare. I've tried my best in balancing the game and make it fun. I'm sorry if it's not as fun as I intended.

Thank you for playing.

Make sure to feedback so I can reach your game and rate it too. :)

I would really like to play this game but my sheeps are always running around like crazy. I only managed to breed them directly at the beginning when controlling them to the sugar. Any other way resulted in an early death. Maybe you could give me some tips :wink:

The game is for sure not fast paced.

On the positive side. I really like the graphics, especially the sheeps plus their silly animations. The player walk animation is weird though. The music is also really good.

The theme is super good and I think if you had a little more time it could be a bit more enjoyable. Right now it feels very confusing and unclear what the game is asking me to do; not super intuitive, IE do I need to drag the sheep to the water? Just not totally clear. The art is good and the animation is solid.

Overall while I didn't have a great time playing the game and the pacing didn't match the description (felt methodical, not fast paced), it's super awesome that you completed the full project on time and it's a promising start to a game if you wanted to spend a little time post-jam to make some improvements.

Cute game. Graphics and animations were well done. I just wish I knew what I was supposed to be doing. A quick tutorial would have helped.

I like the initial idea, but the execution seems to be little off. Anyway I like graphics, for compo is pretty neat.

Keep developing! For the first time is pretty fine!
