151.68 highest! Fun game, easy to play, hard to master
Really hard game! :P :P
It was fun to play. It is one of those games that have you yelling in front the screen and making you want to break stuff! It really reminded me of an old game i played on Mame32 when i was a kid, mostly because of the theme, the rolling balls and the flame rings. Don’t remember the name though.
It seems that you do not have control over the sheep when it is in the air, which makes things really hard to land. I might be wrong and you have slight control, but still it is something i would try to improve.
The graphics are clean good job on that and also the music fits the overall style.
I ll probably get back to it after i play some more games and see if i can go a bit further.
Thanks!
This was indeed inspired by game I also played as a kid. After looking it up myself I found its name was Circus Charlie. But thats on Nintendo so you might mean diferent game. Still had rolling balls and flaming rings though.
Only thing you control about the jump is how fast you are moving forward at the start of the jump. I felt like adding visible speed bar helped me in making more good jumps at the right time.
I don't think I'll be making it any easier this month as no changes should be made while rating.
Circus Charlie was actually the game!!
OMG so many memories. This was first released on the arcades and from what I read it was later transfered to the Famicom and Commodore 64.
This was the game I was talking about!
Fun game and pretty straight forward but very challenging haha. I struggled getting used to the jump and the hitbox for landing seems very small.
The idea seems simple, but it's very hard to master where the sheep will fall. A bit frustrating if you ask me, but fun when you get it right! 😅 Good job
It's a little clunky, but the idea is good! It would be nice if the camera would smoothly move into position on landing rather than snapping into place.
Very addictive. I love the sound effects when the sheep falls off the balls. Like the others said, it a bit too difficult with the jumping.
quite hardcore, but fun! would be nice if the gravity and the jumping speed were faster so the player can have streams of successful landings!
Didn't get very far but overall, quite a solid game. The jumping could be improved like others have said.
Funny game but as allready said - not very forgiving xD
Funny little game. Seriously difficult thought! Wish that gravity was a little stronger and the jumping force was stronger so that the sheep moved a bit quicker, but overall its a good and addictive game.
That sounds like a great idea to try out. Thanks!
I didn’t participate in the game jam, but this is a fun game, and I like the music! :)
pretty neat idea with good execution. The hitboxes for landing on the balls could be a bit clearer.
I only got 5k high-score, haha 😂 - I wish the game could be slightly more forgiving, perhaps checkpoints? :D I'll be back later to beat my score.
Getting over 5k is really not a bad score for first few tries. Well played!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun little game, hard to quite get the jumps right though.
Good music, fits really well into the game.
Thanks!
Yeah thanks! :)
