Awesome! the way the difficulty gradually rises as the the user adapts to the game, neat game.

Developer

Thanks. :)

Neat idea that definitely got more anxiety inducing as it went on.  Thanks for building and submitting it!

Developer

Thanks. :)

Weirdly compelling! The sheep that spawn near a corner and walk back and forth between the closest edges are anxiety inducing. I would enjoy playing an expanded version of this game, maybe with additional perils (dogs? rustlers?) or the ability to paddock sheep that hang around in dangerous spots.

Some interesting ideas to think about for sure. Thanks. :)

had my doubts when I read the description, but the gameplay works well :)

if you are looking to make improvements, Sort Y would be nice to give a sense of depth when sheep overlap each other

Developer

Thanks. :)

Hadn't heard of Sort Y before but yes that would be an improvement. Will certainly look into that. Thanks. :)

there's definitely some nefarious hooman amongst the sheep!

This was fun.  I wanted a tool of some kind of set the redirect direction: one of my sheep was in the lower corner the whole game and I had to baby that one.  Maybe every X sheep you get a special ability you can use once to help get the sheep under control.

Nice job!

Developer

Thanks. :)

Yes that is one of the flaws with it, Because I am only always reversing both the x and y movement direction when you click on a sheep it can cause them to get stuck in one corner sometimes. After they stop and start they do start going in a random direction instead of the direction they where going in before but that doesn't entirely fix the problem though. 

Your idea is a interesting one though, will have to think about it some more to see if I can come up with a solution. Thanks. :)

Nice! When the game started I thought where is the challenge here? I didn't have to wait much to have my answer :D!

Developer

Thanks. :)
