How does your game fit the theme?
The game begins with a calm phase, where you have to use the quite and peaceful time to gather resources and upgrades to prepare thyself for the storm. When the storm comes, all of hell breaks loose and you have to defend yourself from hords of evil zombie sheeps, for the night is dark and full of horrors.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Most of the code was made from scratch, some assets and code snippets were taken from the credited sources.

This game is very fun, yet challenging - those sheep are deadly! I like the upgrades you can find in the barrels, and it was fun fighting off the enemies. Nice work!
Just wow... Very impressive. I did not expect the storm part to be this hard. I had a lot of items, and was taken damage from my own bombs I think. The big zombie sheep was really funny. I wish you were able to see what each item did if you hovered over it. Maybe that could be a future in a full released game.
I dived into the game's world and wanted to play again after I died :) Just a shorter preparation time and more hit feedback would be great. Good job!
I'm sure the bomb item made you have a blast ;)
Jokes aside, it's something we are aware of, for now the only thing you can do is make sure to be far enough away or not to pick up the upgrade.
(Tip: the bomb upgrade spawns more often from stones)
Congrats on the great time and thank you for your nice words!
Really nice game! I got super op before it even started tho xd. My only complaint is the bomb item, it hurts you too and it did more damage to myself than the sheep themselves. I dont know if there was an ending but I made it to 8 mins.
Congratulations on the time! We didn't have time to implement a proper ending so the goal is just survival and beating your own score. The bomb item is something we are aware of, we couldn't fix the issue before the deadline sadly, so right now you will have to either not collect the item or be sure you are far enough away from obstacles or enemies when firing
(A little tip: The bomb drops mostly from stones so if you want to avoid it then this might help)
Really well made game. I would be more willing to play more if the preparation phase was a lot shorter
Pretty fun, my only real problem is that there's not much feedback when you take damage, so before I knew it, I'm pretty sure I died to my own bombs.
Really fun game, I like how powerful you get in just a matter of seconds.
Only gripe i have is that your own bombs damage you causing you to die really quickly.
really fun game, wish it had an ending, the tension was definitely there. I don't like the bomb powerup. and sometimes item spawn in spots you can't reach
I liked the vibe and the overall idea is quite fun! Since I wasn't playing with a mouse I had a bit of trouble but that's on me haha
Maybe I missed it but I thought it was a bit disappointing that there wouldn't be any ressources in water? Since we're playing an axolotl facing sheep, it could've also been interesting to have large bodies of water as a safe spot from them (or have the sheep go slower in water if they can swim maybe)
Loved the exploding sheep and the little powerups though! and the calm music is peaceful yet slightly ominous, perfect for the vibes of the game.
I'll try again once my mouse has batteries!
Fun game I missed a tutorial I think. The game loop was nice, lovely cute graphics that fit the music and sounds.
I don't like that we also get damaged by our own bombs (that's what killed me).
Overall real nice game.
Great graphics, pretty fun gameplay loop too! My only complaints are that a couple enemy types are a way harder to deal with than others, and I wish the bullets were a bit larger so they'd connect with the target more often. With that said though, the parabolic path that the multishots took was awesome! Nice game!
Fun loop! I think that the first storm could come a little earlier tho, it was a while just walking and demolishing trees
exciting and genuinely terrifying, i think we gotta listen to natural selection and let the sheep take over the world though
super fun game! loved making an axolotl unreasonably overpowered, something I wish I could do in real life :)
