Sheep Apocalypse by Notchy13

[raw]
made by Notchy13 for LD32 (COMPO)
Sheep Apocalypse
Fight angry enemy sheep with a dead sheep as weapon. Score as much kills as you can and survive waves of enemies. Sorry, the sounds and graphics aren't that good, but this is my first Ludum Dare and the first completed game I've made.
Controls:
W - walk towards mouse
A, S, D - walk left, back, right relativ to the mouse, but those are a bit weird.
click - swing your sheep/attack

Like you said, the controls are rather tricky. It would have been better if you made not made them relative to the mouse.

Really good for your first game though! :]

Congrats on the first entry! It took me a sec with the controls but your right just using the w key and the mouse works great. Solid little game.

It is a really simple game. You should change the moving system, as it is really annoying. Another problem is that the enemies spawn on us, and instantly damages us.

I didn't realize you could move xD. Poor sheep. I liked the idea, very simple game and fun. Good for a first LD.

Nice game for a first one :) It's a huge step to actually finish one. I can tell you, I've been trying for years and this time was the first one for me as well :D

Controls are really confusing :D I think you should just move the character directly with the WASD and then just aim with the mouse.

Senseless murder always wins with me :D

I think it's fun, the annoying controls are part of the fun, a bit like in octodad and games like that. Good job for a first LD.

My fix for the controls was only use w and it will follow the mouse. I got 70 kills in 12 waves.

controls are really a bit weird.. I think walk towards mouse should always be the left mouse button (we know this from things like diablo and so on) - asdw should either be absolute movement (up down left right) or "a" and "d" rotate, and w moves into the direction you are currently looking.
The mix you made isn't very intuitive.

Then again, killing sheep with sheep.. really unconventional :)

That was really fun :)
I wish the controls were simpler though...
