It would've been nice to see a &quot;source&quot; link as well, but &quot;view page source&quot; is a suitable substitute in this case.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Kinda tricky, and you probably want to call preventDefault() when you handle up\/down - in the embedded LD website version, up\/down end up scrolling the page.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The farmer grabbing his hat constantly amused me, though :)."},{"author_name":"Krisjet","author_uid":"5486","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 8:43am","epoch":1418027880,"text":"Funny idea, I love fact that you feel like a farmer just running frantically around pushing sheep out of the flower bushes.\r<br\/>I think the game could have used a tell that shows whether a sheep is going to &quot;attack&quot; a bush a little in advance. As it is now it feels totally random to the player if the sheep is moving towards a bush or not. I also wouldn't have created the first level with bushes in each corner, AND a big patch in the middle to defend. Give us an easy level in the beginning, so we feel like we understand how it works before we lose!"},{"author_name":"rzuf","author_uid":"1349","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 8:52am","epoch":1418028420,"text":"I like frantic games, but this one seems waaay too hard.
