Sheep Shape Shift by johnasebok
Welcome To Sheep Shape Shift.
The Magical lands of Woolopia have fallen on dark times. The Evil Shape Shifter Shamus has landed and has been shape shifting sheep, surely there must be something a heroic person like you can do!? Well, I am glad you asked.
It so happens Woolopia grows magic crystal gems which sheep use for medicinal purposes. Set these gems out and give them time to grow and sprout new gems. These gems can cure shape shifted sheep and if you collect 100 of them you might even be able to defeat Shamus.
Tips: If you hold the left mouse button down without releasing it. You will hold a gem in front of you like a shield to protect you from infect sheep.
If you drop to gems in a row - the first gem will fire forward.
If you want to protect gems from sheep, you can safely push non-infected sheep away. If you are getting swarmed, it might be time to harvest the gems you have grown in that area and move to a an area with less sheep and plant again.
To beat Shamus, you must collect 100 gems and then run into Shamus.
A special thank you to a bunch of people who I have never met but have spent countless hours watching their tutorials on YouTube

Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Anyway, the music is nice and the graphic style looks funny.
Nice work!
It was briefly mentioned in the instructions but to gain more crystals you have to leave them out and they will multiply :).
Thanks again and have a great day!
The problem is that shifted sheep chase you. This means that anywhere you drop diamonds, a sheep will immediately come along and eat it. Winning depends entirely upon no sheep coming after you until there is a good field going with well over 100 gems in it. Whether or not that happens appears to be pretty much random. I don't feel like I have any control over the outcome, because I am using a pencil to fight a tidal wave.
However, there is something I think you must to see: http://imageshack.com/a/img921/1512/VvXIzL.jpg
When I released that last bunch, they were 276, I don't know how many they were at the end because when I was collecting them back I accidentaly stepped on Shamus.
Objective of the game is to defeat Shamus. The game that way is good. But what I found the best of this game is farming jewels and protecting them on a large 3D environment. As you can see on the image, it is really really addictive. I think that you should develop it further, but focusing on the idea of farming and protecting, because it is funny as hell.
Good job!
Thanks for playing :)
I do plan on adding some polish to the game soon and perhaps change the view from first person to third person so you can see if a sheep is sneaking up on you.
@MintArcade - BUILDABLE FENCES!!!!! Fantastic idea, perhaps add a Shepard to the field whom you can cash in crystals to purchase perks like fences or cattle prods :).
