I love the art style! Took me a while to get used to the combat but I think I get it now. I quite like it though there were some bugs, like sheep floating in the sky. Overall, good job, I enjoyed it :)

Liked the idea :D

nice looking game! i had a very similar idea but controlling the sheep against the wolf disguised as a sheep :D but my team mates didnt like the idea :) such a shame it seemed too fun to develop :)

Developer

..Or a sheep disguised as a wolf? Go full circle. haha

I really like the graphics of the game. But its a little buggy.

One advice I have for you is to not use the "z" or "y" key becouse on a german keyboard they are switched and that makes the game much harder to play :)

Developer

Thannks for the feedback! Good to know. We'll likely do a round of bugfixing and polish when the jam has ended and we can update the game. A few things were left on the cutting room floor so to speak.

It was hard to know what to do at first before reading the text below on the game page. And I'm still not sure if I'm fighting well-

Love the idea of this roundy-floating animals xD

Developer

We wanted to put in a tutorial on the first level, but were crunching like mad in the minutes leading up to the deadline. In a future update we'll add that and tweak some stuff.

I hardly understood how to kill a sheep, or if I had to. Sometimes sheeps go inside terrain.

The idea seemed nice.

Bouncing sheep ftw! I really liked this use of the theme, it fits the game perfectly.

Annoying sheep needs satisfying blood! :D

I Find It Hard To Understand But Nice Graphics

Thanks

The responsiveness of the camera is a bit off for me, it seemed very slidy which making this awkward. I found the 'random input' idea interesting although I didn't find it very challenging to pull off.

I wasted a lot of time trying to undestand how the game works, and i am still not sure, i dont really know what that meter does and how the kill system works. The graphics is good and the idea has potential.

Developer

We wrote a predictive keylogger algorithm based on the "Aaronson Oracle" for the fighting mechanic. You need to press X and Z in complete random, no-pattern. The fight lasts for about 5 seconds, if you're winning (arrow points to green) when the time runs out - you win!

Really good loooking

Submitted(+1)

Hey the game is pretty hard but i like the idea!

Submitted(+1)

i really didn't like the camera being locked like that, made it hard to play, maybe do a static camera that doesn't rotate with player?


other then that it was interesting and unique :)

Developer

Thanks! If we do a round of polish and finish on it after the gamejam is over, the camera is something we would like to improve. Small dev team and lack of time :P

Submitted(+1)

SUPER interesting, I really sucked at the fights hahahaha!  Thanks for the game!

Developer(+2)

Great game. Thanks again to:

ZTIF, Starman, nickflik, ThRedGamingEagel and Jonu_ for making this game! 

It was pleasure working together! 

Developer

Great job on your behalf too man. I'll gladly team up for another with you.
