THEME: Keep It Alive

Protect your sheep by keeping them on the island. Build walls to maintain control and your heard. Don't let them fall of the cliff!

CONTROLS:

Mouse - Click Sheep To Change Their Direction

ESC - Quit

The Sheep on your island are not very smart, they will wander around aimlessly and might fall off the edge! Keep them on the island by clicking on them to turn them around. Try buying fences and other items to keep your heard safe. The more sheep you have the more gold you accumulate. Purchase more sheep for endless fun!

I really liked the look of this game but I found it unclear how to play. Does clicking sheep make them turn around? Am I placing walls on the grid or on the line? Can I get more money? I feel like a tutorial or just a more detailed explanation would go a long way.

Nice game idea and art style, unfortunately very intransparent in how the mechanics work. I think it would be good for you to ask some friends to playtest your game next time, that helps a lot in ironing out these issues.

This game definitely has potential. It does have its flaws, but going back and fixing them would let this game really shine. Some nitpicks I have with this game are that:

1) The building system isn't that intuitive. You can only build walls one at a time, and have to go back to the "Build" option in order to build another.

2) Purchasing things apparently decreases your income tempoarily? There isn't a problem with having an inflation system of sorts, but it shouldn't drop my income by about a quarter its amount for just a single purchase, especially if I just started a new game and need to buy lots of barriers/sheeps.

This game is fun though. The "juggling the sheep to keep them on the island" idea is pretty unique.

I hope you found this feedback helpful. :)

Beep Beep I'm a sheep!


Funny little game!

The sheeps are cute (I love how they just bop around x3)

The music is nice and cute


The game works pretty well, I just wish there was more feedback when clicking on a sheep (right now it doesn't feel like clicking on it has much effect apart from making it make a noise), and that building walls was a bit smoother (like, instead of clicking on the wall icon, then the tile, then the wall icon, then the tile etc. to build walls, just draging the mouse around were I want to build walls)


Overall, cute little game!
