This was such a fun play! I could definitely see this going on steam and be popular like pico park. This is very creative and fitting for the theme. I could never think of ideas like these lol. Art, audio, visuals, gameplay, puzzles, everything are top notch👌. I like that it has a VERY CLEAR goal and walkthrough that the player will understand right away. Aside from that, I really think that the chasing mechanic could be improved as the sheep frequently get stuck on walls (you can counteract this by limiting the sheep's movement a little bit smaller than the original window so that the dog could get in-between the wall and the sheep). Overall, very nice job!!
Played this game until the end. That being said, as far as a game made in 7 days goes. Creativity, I have never played a game with this specific premise in mind. I mean, i've hearded sheep in farm games before but its never been the main focus of the game. Visuals, I love the 8-bit cozy and cute look, Easy. Audio, catchy, low key, perfect backround music. Gameplay, Its a bit simple, but for a game that got done in 7 days I think its pretty neat, had to get used to moving the two dogs at once, but once I got that down it was satisfying. Theme, "one location", you need to get the sheep in the pen. You need to get them into a particular location, the pen, I know there was levels where you had to technically get the sheep into two different pens, but you still had to get them into place called the singular word "pen" so im forgiving on that. Overall Enjoyment, well I played through the whole game, and definitely got a bit of dopamine after finishing that last level, which is a lot more than some current fully published games do for me nowdays. Anywho, Amazing game considering it was created in 7 days by a 5 member team.
First of all, thank you so much for going into so much detail about what you noticed about the game and giving us in depth feedback! We definitely appreciate all you said. I agree with you when mentioning that sometimes the game actually has two locations, and that kind of got to me while I was designing the levels lol. It's very nice to hear that you enjoyed it!
Loved it!
I really enjoyed playing it! This is a relaxing game that sometimes we all need
Im glad to hear that! That makes me and the team very happy to hear 😁
Super fun puzzle game which feels just right with the herding style and design of puzzles. Great work!
thanks I’m glad to hear that!
Fun little puzzle game. Only tried single player and thought controlling both dogs would be hard, but you made it so it gave me time to switch my brain for the controls. Really enjoyed it!
thank you that’s actually great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.
Great Game, my brother was kinda slow so it stressed me out, but its good nonetheless.
ahahah epic experience, thank you for playing
Great game, really tested my ambidexterity at first :)
lol thanks! I get what you mean, I would have brain farts sometimes too!
Creative puzzle game! Good Job!
Thank you!
Damn it's a good game ngl. It feels polished and I really love the pixel art and the sheep sound. But at the tutorial level (first level) the sheep will be stuck at the fence tho. But still good job :D
thanks for the feedback! Will def get that fixed
