How does your game fit the theme?
Stormy Herd embodies the theme 'Calm before the Storm' by placing players in a peaceful environment where they must manage and protect animals. As each storm approaches, the calm atmosphere turns tense, and players must act quickly to save their herd before disaster strikes. The contrast between calm preparation and the frantic rush to safety perfectly captures the theme.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all of the code was written from scratch. Some assets, like sound effects and textures, were sourced from free libraries, while other assets, such as the animal models and storm effects, were custom-made for the game.

The art is very beautiful and I liked the concept. but I think because of the camera perspective it is difficult to move the animals between islands. Additionally, the physics are somewhat clumsy, although I understand that may be because it gives it a more comical touch.
Music is fun haha.
Despite all the above, it's a good job! :D

Need a BreakCute and great-looking game, pretty polished! That said, I'll be honest, I have no idea what I am doing or how to play the game... like sure I can select and give move orders to animals, but what good is it when they are trapped on those tiny islands? Perhaps could use more controls explained. Otherwise hilariously good, especially for a first-project!

JJ'S WAYThanks so much for playing my first game! I'm really happy you enjoyed it, and I apologize for any issues you encountered. There’s a 'How To Play' menu in the bottom right of the main menu, next to the leaderboard. As for the story, the animals are trapped on tiny islands because a powerful storm shattered the land into fragments, leaving the islands floating on the water. Now it's up to you to help them survive and find safety!
Game has potential, but I had a hard time figuring stuff out since there's no controls list anywhere in the game or even in the description. Music also gets pretty repetitive.

Storm ShelterI really liked the idea and it fits the theme really well! i struggled a bit with the camera but other than that it is a solid game!

Safe SpaceCool idea. The art looks great. The music gets repetitive. Overall, good work.

Storm SurvivorWell done! I really like the style and the overall feeling of the game. The music is nice at first but becomes annoying real quick. It would be nice to have an option to rotate the camera (maybe i just didn't figure out how?).

Tornado HuntersYour game idea is pretty cool. The theme fits very well and i love the art style. Good job!

The Last Bar StandsInteresting idea. Though music sample is a bit too short so with looping it gets repetitive quickly. Really nice art and style. Good job overall

City goes boom (gamejam prototype)I really like the graphic of the game. It is a very chill game to play. It could be very nice as a mobile or tablet game

Defend Your HonourA very easy to learn and fun game :).
One thing tough, when moving the animals, it can collide with some objects that cause them to fall from their respective platforms.
Submitted
Typhoon TheoryThere are some small assets(boxes or pots) than can collide with the animals grabbed by the player, but it doesn't really break the game lol
Hopefully you'll also rate mine :) /jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690
