How does your game fit the theme?
Herding a bunch of sheep in a compact car while on ice kinda sounds hard to control.

You know me in real life, so I feel more able to be very Frank about my opinion here:

HELLO! I'M FRANK! The controls and the car being dodgy to handle works well with the theme, as does being on ice and trying to herd sheep. The gameplay could provide a lot of comedy to play with. HOWEVER, a lack of sound here harms the comedic value of your game. Even goofy, royalty-free music could've benefited you here, even though I know you're stubborn like me and want to make music yourself all the time. And I know you got distracted making the customisable car - which is a nice touch - but you know as damn well as I do that comedic bounce/boing/baa sound effects would have just made this game top-notch comedy material. As it is, I've gotta sit in my seat making nyoom noises to get that experience. Also, in general, very on-brand for your game to utilise a mini, gear-switching mechanics, drifting, and sheep. If someone asked me, FRANK!, about your personality, I'd show them this game. Also, as the person below me says, nice job starting the car off in a non-existent gear. Like... bruh. Just bruh. I give this game bruh/bruh, should be a minigame in Fallout 76.

Decent fun, presentation, and originality overall, but refocusing your efforts on the game's strengths could've driven (pun intended, I'm not sorry) this game further.
Nice job! You got a really fun game. I love the concept. I think is too harsh (sometimes i couldnt get any sheep) and the gear starting in 0 is not very intuitive -but maybe that's me cause i can't drive-.
Thanks! And your not being harsh; I probably should start the player in first gear or add an option for automatic shiftin
I love that I can color my card and that I can use doors for more effective herding :D Neat idea!
thanks for the comment! I'll be sure to check yours out on Saturday!
