fantastically polished game with excellent visuals! Getting the sheep to the next zone is satisfying, and I appreciate the concept of the game. With the light and dark effects, as well as the music, you really managed to create a fantastic dark feeling. The uniformity of the motions and sprites promotes immersion. Excellent work!   Would you be intrested in rating or playing my game? It would really help me out, but dont worry if you dont want to, its completely up to you :)

Great game, with very cool idea and graphic that kinda looks like don't starve also great music. :)

Submitted

I loved the design! 

It immediately reminded me of Don't Starv, which you might know!

The music goes very well with the atmosphere. 

I'm impressed by what you managed to draw in a week!

Great job!

A game about herding sheep is definitely a unique entry, and it was surprisingly fun to do for a bit. I thought the light might play into the gameplay more with some monster you have to fend off but it didn't. I think its a bit weird to have the monster not attack the player, it doesn't go so well with the horror vibes of the art and music.

Cool artwork, I love the Don't Starve vibes. Cool music, really sets a mood. Interesting mechanic with the herding, just not so challenging with the monsters. I found myself just following the monsters to the next sheep then herding that one sheep away then repeating.

Great works, I liked your games.

This is really well done, I think it looks great and also feels really responsive and nice.

Took me a bit to figure out where to lead them and why at the start but once I did it felt much smoother. Overall a good game, good job :)

Great work, I liked how the lights are managed

Great polished game with good art style ! I like the idea of the game,, bringing the sheeps to the next zone is satisfiying. You really managed to create a good dark vibe with the light and dark effect, and the musics. All the animations and sprites are the same style, which helps immersion. Really nice job !

Great game with a good artstyle !

This is great, really nice graphics and audio. I didn't realise at first that you get more time when you catch a sheep, but once I worked it out I managed to catch 22 :). I wasn't sure if the goblins actually do anything; in fact I found them kind of helpful to lead me to the sheep. It felt like herding one sheep at a time was the best strategy, but it would have been more fun to herd more together; perhaps you could make the sheep flock together (move towards each other a bit) so that they're easier to herd in groups. Overall great game, nice work!
PS: There is no Linux build in the download, but I played the WebGL version you linked elsewhere.

The art style and music were really nice! :) Super impressive how polished your game is and congrats on this being your first game jam! :D

Unique idea!

Submitted

As others have said, the visuals are really good, reminds me of Don't Starve. I did think the gameplay got a bit repetitive though, but I did end up saving 22 sheep!

Submitted

The art and graphics in this game are amazing! It got a bit repetitive herding the sheep, but I suppose that's the life of a shepherd!

Submitted

The visuals were really good, music as well! Reminded me of dont starve, very well done!
