Lovely!
With more time I would have added more mutations, but in general this is really a small jewel :)
The buttons/mouse cursor don't alway react snappy, and the rotation seems a bit jerky in fullscreen web player.
No idea if there is a goal or what the maximum genetic mutation can be. After 10 minutes I didn't see anything new so I quit.
I had some trouble to know when I had reach the full potential of this game, but it was relaxing and interesting to play.
Thanks for the experience.
Thanks for playing.
The only confusing feeling is - what's the gola of the game? Is it possible to win or lose?
@franciszek-pyrc Thank you for playing too. This is exactly what i planned for, since i feel like a lot of people did something more action heavy ;)
Since a lot of people quite enjoy the game i am currently planning of creating the game for mobile with even more possibilities. Can't give any details though since im quite busy at work. I'll have some time over the holidays and im going to post updates about the game here on my Feed and on Twitter. (I'll probably going to post a official announcement within the next few days :wink: )
:thumbsup: I liked the color shifting of the sheep to highlight how fast and far they have drifted genetically. The game presents everything all at once, but the mechanics can be explored in isolation, so the player is not overwhelmed, but instead gets the pleasure of finding out what everything does (It was cool to see that the lower the population the higher the mutation rate... or at least that's what it seemed like to me).
:point_right: I would have liked to see if there were more sheep beyond wings, but when I tried to breed them the game would crash. :(
:star: Overall great job. Thank you for making this!
