This end ! ... Cool cute little game, neat music, cool graphism and really cool concept ! Sometimes there are sheeps who travel the whole map in one jump, but despite that, the game is quite fair x)

Great game ! Keep working !

Too bad that it's very difficult to control sheeps..
Also as you can see the camera is not restricted in a certain zone, so i could go faaaar away x)
Nice graphics, nice song and sound effects !

Ügyes kis játék, egy idő után iszonyú nehéz lett! Tetszik a grafika!

Took a while to get the hang of the controls, but then it was a very cool game! Funny, pretty and very interesting :D

After realizing that every sheep was suicidal this game took on another life for me. I felt the need to save every sheep but there was too many to tend to at once. The ensuing chaos led to a great many deaths. This game is great and looks great too. However I found the camera controls to be a bit cumbersome as some sheep where hidden behind props. This makes it a challenge to see all the sheep at once.

Nice voxel graphics and happy style. I Loved the flattened sheep. At times I was in a state were all alive sheep were on the truck but no new sheep spawned. At some times it escalated really quickly. I expected a more steady progression. Really funny ending screen :D
10/10 would stomp sheep again.

Nice graphics! The mouse has some delay, maybe the problem is just here... I tried with an Asus notebook.

At some point I found killing sheep more fun. Nice animation. And the slaughterhouse). However it would be better to get Restart button at the "death screen", not repeat Tutorial (and make it shorter, 3 screens at least), and camera controls seemed not user friendly enough.

Spacial thanks to the devs nominating some of the twitch viewers who attended during the streams, on the endings screen. I also felt the mouse controls a big laggy but overall the game was fun to replay a few times, the art style graphics, sound and music are very appealing. I also liked that you pulled it of without using any blood effects. Great job guys!

All packed up! Possibly missing one somewhere, but I'm sure it'll show up eventually...

While the controllers were somewhat whimsy, I did like the challenge of herding these little fellows into the trucks. There's so much stuff going around that the world actually felt very vivid. I was actually impressed that the delivery trucks themselves were able to turn the sheep into roadkill.

This entry was very interesting. Perhaps a bit too much for someone as clumsy as myself. Ah well. All things considered, I had some fun runs with it. In behalf of my team, great work with this submissions! :whale:

What a great effort - your first game and how lovely it was! The mood and art was all very fluid, good job! Had a bit of a bug where it seemed one sheep was still alive, but I couldn't find it - and therefore the next wave of sheep never came. Maybe some indicator could come up after 10 seconds of no interaction with a sheep? I worry he fell off the map somewhere but didnt trigger as dead, the poor thing!

i love the music, very nintendo. I think I got stuck, it didn't seem to be progressing for many minutes... Funny game, either way.

Quite lively scene which is so fresh and pleasant. I like it. The rule is also clear and focused. I just suggest add some feedback when cursor hoovers on a sheep so I know I can drag it.

Very fun game that only heightens my hate of sheep. The game looked great, controlled fine and the audio was very good. Really liked how the sheep would turn immediately upon being selected.
