I enjoyed playing your game. Wished the fire rate was a bit quicker ... I also desperately wanted some type of clear screen power up like the rosary in the NES Castlevania games once the screen was filled with wolves. The sheep being destroyed is oddly satisfying.
@Nexade game idea was good, although would have enjoyed it more if the fire rate was a little bit high, overall good one :)
Oh wow what a fun game! Haha I was having a blast. Nice work on the effects, I like the feeling of impact when I would smack a wolf. The game got really crazy when I was down to my last two sheep, I had a blast playing this. Great work!
Top Score 90. Good idea to defend and too much blood from the wolves XD
I like the idea, but I don't completely understand the projectiles. I got to 451 as my best, but felt like it was impossible to defend your sheep at that point. The polish was really REALLY well done, and I like the music and art. Great job!
I love this game! Simple but fun and it gets intense as the difficulty ramps up. Charming music too, and I like the simpler take on the theme.
Loved the effects ( wolf attacking and exploding )! Very cute game :)
Very cute and fun game! Loved the sound effects! My poor sheep tho..
Thanks so much. I do kind of feel sorry for the sheep though, but their suffering makes my game better so it's ok.
A quirky fun mini-game that is surprisingly difficult. The music fit nicely with the game, although I was a bit confused as to how it fit with the theme. Other than that, it was a fun playthrough. Good job!
Thanks, I really like the music, this is the first time I've used professional music making software for my games, so I'm glad it worked for you.
Cool and simple. Its very hard to me reach any points:)
For a simple game, it's actually very satisfying, I don't get how exactly the fireballs act after they kill a wolf, but the feel of it is nice! What's the highscore? I got over 500! :D
Wow, that's a lot more than my highscore. I think my best is about 120 seconds and 300 wolves dead.
Wow, am I the best player in this game in the world? :D At some point, I had only one ship, but the fireballs were shooting so quickly that most wolves died pretty far away from it.
Not sure how this fits the theme
maybe your connection is with the sheep
Yeah it's because if the sheep die the shepherd dies. Thanks for playing!
