..if we try and summon death?

Well, for one he is quite annoyed of being repeatedly summoned for assinine reasons.

This is my, albeit small & simple, submission for LD43!
I took it a bit more relaxed this time, went with unity and didn't push myself to work on it every second of the weekend.
All in all this is a glorified sheep hearding simulator, with horribly stupid sheep (totally not the fault of me for not making the AI good enough, nope, they're dumb. It's a feature!)

You get points for scaring all the humans into the volcano, and doing so quickly.

I've also uploaded a commentated timelapse of the making here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdyZ4mp5npc

Very cool idea! I'd get one stuck in a corner occasionally (the rocks in corners prevent that when present) and wish I could just take them out with the scythe!

This was cute. Was kind of frustrating getting them stuck in the corners, but if you jiggled around a bit you can get them out. Love the finishing touch on every level having them jump into the volcano :smile:

Awesome game. I like the 3D particle effects. Best part was counting my score as the man sheep jump into the volcano to their death.

Cool game! The herding mechanics were quite interesting. It was hard enough that sometimes the little humans would run away from me and I felt like I was chasing sheep 😂. Also, that volcano scene got a chuckle out of me. Also, the second level was really hard for me for some reason, but I managed to finish it with 00:00 on the clock 😎.

Could have used a music track :).

I liked it, sometimes simple ideas are the most fun :)

It was fun, fel like a border collie. Loved the reaper's fast moving effect with the sound, felt creepily real.
