this game is super well made the dev of this game really did an amazing job the only small thing is my shadow ram kept getting stuck but that could just be me 10/10 game.
Nice short free game. Be a shepherd collect your sheep, staying away from the wolves. Different sheep have different abilities. Solve basic maze style puzzles as you go. Pros: Decent graphics, sound and controls. Cons: short game approx. an hour, one of the sheep types the controls weren't explained clearly so took some figuring out. Maybe add achievements. Some people complain of not being able to continue, but I played it through in one sitting. Overall a quick logic type game, Could be potentially expanded by adding more levels, time run, achievements etc. But worthwhile spending 60-90 mins on this if you like solving straightforward puzzles.
Fun puzzles and fantastic graphics. I really enjoyed playing this.
Loved the game so much! my only issue was my sheep glitching on the bridge and not being able to recall. id keep playing but the only fix is leaving the level and starting the puzzle over again. I loved the art style, Keep up the good work!! <3
So, it's an interesting game that would be excellent if it were spaced out a bit longer. That said, for a free offering, it's quite nice. The concepts are good, the puzzles are interesting enough, and overall I found myself wanting just a little bit more out of it. Best analogy I can make is that I was served a very good meal, but only about two-thirds of one.
A resource-based puzzle game, with lots of adorable sheep :3 Free, fun, short, and not too hard; great work by what I presume is a student team!
