The camera movement was very sensitive for me so I wasn't rly able to do much other than chase the sheep around before getting motion sick 😅 But the vibes are Simply Unmatched. The way the sheep just. Roll? absolutely gets my goat A++ 🙏
I really enjoyed the challenge this posed while remaining achievable. I had some difficulty getting a couple different colored sheep to separate, but that was all part of the fun! Nice work!
Sheep bleating over itself 100 times wasn't on my bingo card for the theme but here we area. Absolutely hilarious sounds when you get near a sheep, had a good laugh. Well done!
I mean, honestly, I love the use of primitives to develop the shape of things. Im all in on the wiggling little grass cones. Nice foley work too haha. Not going to say it was easy getting them into the pens, even felt a little random, but I love the implicit worldbuilding and the overall design. Solid effort!
DO A BARREL ROLL, ~~FOX~~ SHEEP! I also had difficulty getting them to separate at times because they insisted on rolling out in formation, but that was quite amusing.
@quail-weaver They stole your goat!? I can only assume it was transmogrified into a sheep in the primitives factory. It is a goat no more. In fact, it was never a goat. There are only sheep. There are no goats in barn sing se. 😆 Apologies. I'm feeling silly this morning.
On camera movement, the first time I tried playing my mouse was malfunctioning due to low battery so I initially got randomized camera movement which added a bit of extra flavor and hilarity.
Those are certainly some of the most normal sheep I have ever come across. Nice aesthetic with all the shape primitives. I do feel sorry for the sheep I got trapped on the edge of the map as it started bleating constantly. Fun!
Cloud skybox is secretly a rorschach test. I see a border collie.
Mouse movement is a bit jittery which I think is part of why it gives some motion sickness vibes.
The idle sheep bah, is award winning onomatopoeia. Taking the time to add colorblind support is amazing for a compo entry. Sheep rolling and art design adds a fun ascetic. Good play time for a game jam imo, might be a touch too hard for people trying to speed run a ton of games.
Unfortunately with firefox the mouse was too quick to actually really play the game. I love it that you made a colorblind option! Not all people keep that in mind while creating art. To think about it I'm a bit shamed myself that I didn't think about this in the latest entry myself! Good Job and thank you for your work!
The game is perfect, the graphics are minimalist, the gameplay is unique and interesting. I'd love to play a game like this with different levels and perhaps a larger board. If it were on Steam, I'd play it. The only thing that could really be improved is making the borders more repulsive/making it easier to pull the sheep away from the borders; they crash into them and are difficult to reach.
Loved this game. Couldn't stop myself from laughing every time one of the sheep toppled and bounced away. Great game! Unfortunately I do have a quite short attention span so I would've liked to have gradually have built up to that many sheep. Say maybe start off by herding 3, and then get chance to herd more so I would feel a gradual sense of accomplishment? Still loved it. Going to play some more of it now 😆
@quail-weaver@mdotedot@epb9000 I have added a camera sensitivity control now if you would like to try again! If the minimum setting is still too high please let me know, I can reexport with a lower minimum. And thanks so much for playing and leaving feedback!
@discomorphine thanks for playing and leaving feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I know about the sound loop bug (but cant seem to find the solution yet), is there any other bugs you noticed that can be fixed?
I had the same experience as @bad-fetus. The sheep sound stacking itself when getting near the sheep was very entertaining! (although a bit loud the first time it happened lol)
That was fun. At one point I tried to push the sheep off the edge, but it got stuck in a corner and refused to come out. That’s fair and believable 😄 Good game!
I will hear the screams of these sheep in my nightmares! 😆
Nice and easy to understand mechanic with just enough depth for gameplay. I'm not sure if putting some of the pens so close together was a purposeful choice for difficulty or not but it definitely made it more challenging when you get one sheep of a wrong color in a pen with the others.
At one point I was starting to get worried that I had knocked a purple sheep off the edge by mistake because I only saw 2 in the pen and the other colors had 3, but I still managed to win. So either one disappeared or there were only 2 for some reason. Perhaps having a UI element for each color saying like x/3 would have been helpful.
The idea is really interesting! The game could definitely use some optimization though — maybe the models have too many polygons or there’s no LOD system. It starts to lag quite a bit when looking at all the sheep, but overall it’s a fun concept!
The premise got me very excited. Even though the limitations of time and there fore development were apparent in this one, it still did what it promised on a basic level. The sheep looked like sheep which is nice.
Great game!! And love the funny sheep noises. Would be great if the sheeps gets locked after herding them into the correct barn :) Or maybe I have skill issues :P

Great compo entry, love to see it.

Fun and funny little game you made. Well done!
