The graphics are some of the best I've seen so far though."},{"author_name":"Sanguine","author_uid":"4159","time":"Dec 20, 2011 @ 9:03am","epoch":1324371480,"text":"Wow, those graphics were really awesome, really liked the style of the game. Just like the 'olala' sound of the sheep :)\r<br\/>I did think the game was a bit too easy, but still an awesome job on the concept."},{"author_name":"shawn42","author_uid":"571","time":"Dec 20, 2011 @ 12:50pm","epoch":1324385100,"text":"Milo: I agree. Some sort of power ups that need to breed into the sheep may come in a post-compo version.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sanguine: Thanks! How far did you make it? It gets really hard around day 12-15."},{"author_name":"Benjamin","author_uid":"2952","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 9:32pm","epoch":1324675620,"text":"my score : 12 days ! It seems that sheep gender are randomized on the morning ? I can't understand why because one part of the strategy is to ensure that you have an equal number of male and female.\r<br\/>I like the graphics but I think the wolf animation could have been better. Animate the mouth could have help to figure where's the eat bounding box.\r<br\/>nice entry :)"},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 7:12pm","epoch":1324753620,"text":"13 days for me!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really like the 'olala' sounds :-)"},{"author_name":"caranha","author_uid":"7847","time":"Jan 2, 2012 @ 4:58pm","epoch":1325523180,"text":"Oh la la!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The idea of this game is pretty neat.
