Game Description
Casper runs and Carpet flies. Together they try to get the silly sheep into the safety of the sheepfold.

How does your game tie into the theme?
Just look at those sheep - it's absolute chaos, and we need to direct them.

I think you absolutely nailed the 'controlled chaos' theme! I personally like the style art too, and I have a good amount of fun flinging my dog!

Submitted

Is there a way to keep the sheep in the pen? If not that'd be a nice addition. I also noticed the wolf could go into the pen and eat sheep, but maybe that's because I hadn't closed it? Another feature that'd be good would be a dash feature, maybe limit it to every 5 seconds to avoid abuse. Love that you could use the dog to kill off the wolf, and the idea of using the dog to control the sheep is great!

Submitted

The throwing mechanic is very satisfying! Nice job!

Submitted

I had a lot of fun with your game. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy throwing a dog this much :D

Great game!

Submitted

I'm a simple man, I see dog, I like. 


Entertaining game, satisfying to see the sheep scatter when Casper flies at them 

Submitted(+1)

At some point the dog disappeared visually, but I still could throw it, also good god you added those wolves, otherwise there's no way I would catch them all

Submitted

I love the art style! It's just the right amount of chaos that works perfectly with the theme!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The art is created by my daughter and I also like it a lot) 

Submitted

Pretty fun! Really liked the implementation of the theme, and the controls were simple but pretty fun. I did run into a bug where the dog stopped rendering though, everything else was working though.

Submitted

That was Choas.  Really liked the animation style.  The logic for the herding seemed really solid...how many lines of code was that ;-)

Developer

Haha, thank you. Actually herding just happens because sheep run away from Casper or the doggy) So almost no logic there really. They are dumb as hell. Just like real sheep)) Appreciate you giving it a try!

Submitted

Yeah, another chaotic sheep game! :-) I love the conecept and it is fun to play. I thought there was no end, too, maybe set challenges on how many sheeps you have to save and measure the success via the time required so that it gets a little more fast paced?

Developer

Thank you for playing it!
Yeah, should have made the ending a bit more clear. It will end automatically when all the sheep running free are gone (either captured or dead), but you can also pause it by pressing escape and then stop - and get your score to the leaderboard (which is not global though)

Submitted

i lost my dawg mid run :(

hopefully hes fine! Overall pretty fun and chaotic

Developer

Oh really? That's interesting) where did the dog go? Sounds like a bug to me, but I've never seen it) For me it was always the sheep getting stuck in textures.

Submitted

Fun and chaotic concept! I love the idea . Fit perfectly with the them

Submitted

Nicely done on the help screen with the "show don't tell" wildcard. That's a hard wildcard, but I understood the controls and concepts after looking at that screen.

Submitted

Nice Game. I do wish there was a way to speed up the game play some as it did feel slow once you had the mechanic down. 
If this is your first game you're crushing it with concepts and execution. 

Submitted

Loved yeeting my dog at the wolves to protect the flock. Awesome way to interpret the theme! Music reminded me a lot of Conker's Bad Fur Day (good thing :D)

Wow this was tough. There isn't an end to the game, right? It's just trying to keep your sheep alive as long as you can? Great game though! Throwing a dog so far worried me, but he seems to be okay!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing it) there is an end actually, when all the sheep outside of the fence are gone it ends and you get your score and get to the leaderboard. You can also stop at any point you like and also record your score. The leaderboard is local though, so you complete with yourself)

Submitted

Rly enjoyed throwin the dog lol! I found the main character's movement/colors really satisfying as well, great job with executing the theme!

Submitted (1 edit)

Chaotic and fun ! Could be great to add a sprint key and to have the dog eat the wolf when it is really near (when coming back to us)

Submitted

Yes it's complete chaos and it's fun to throw the dog.

Submitted

good take on the jam's topic, you are right, the game feels chaotic to play! well done!
