Great game! So much fun. If I could say anything, the lack of contrast between the ground grass and gold makes it really hard to see. But the art is still 5/5 for me!

Submitted

Nice game ! I like the way you have to go far to the sheeps to take power-ups. But I also had the bug where no ennemies spawn on my second run. 
The visuals are very cute !

Submitted

It was such a relief when I realized the big bear enemies didn't actually eat sheep the first time around. I also love the art. This was a fun little shooter!

Submitted

Very fun! I was kind of confused on my first run because there weren't any instructions, and the text on the power-ups were really small so I didn't realize I needed coins to get them. I played a couple rounds in a row, but then on a new game, it only spawned 9 enemies and didn't spawn any more? I like that you have to balance running around to collect power-ups and also going back to make sure your sheep don't die!

I really like this game, but it just stops suddenly after things get really fun in the later stages. I wish it had a longer run.

Submitted

Great job :) I like the art style.

Developer

Thank you!

Beautiful art, the sleep deprived girl definitely is a mood. It's also quite fun to play if a bit easy. I also think you made a great game design decision in making 2 types of enemies one attacking you and one the sheep. This way you can add pressure on to the player, without making the game seemingly impossible and depriving the player of any upgrades. You can clear all the wolves, then quickly grab an upgrade while dodging the bears and hurry back. Great design choice. 
Some things to consider for next time:

- The coins are a bit difficult to see and their pick up boxes are rather small, maybe try some magnet that slowly pulls coins towards the player, or if you need a quick solution, just make the pick up collision box bigger. It's also a good choice to color interactables differently from the environment, to make them really stand out.

Developer

Thank you for playing and shearing ideas, i will totaly improve that moments in game in future

Submitted

Art is super cute.

Getting the final weapon upgrade is very satisfying, just wished there was more stuff to spend coins on.

Only bug I've encountered is that on your second run ( after a win or game over ) enemies stop spawning about 2 minutes in. But refreshing the page fixes that.

Developer

Thank you! Artist indeed put her heart in that work) And thank you for spotting bug, i will fix it!

Submitted

love the game. nothing bad to say about it. maybe just add some more enemies and upgrades. I don't know how you would do it, but try to make it more sattisfying to shoot/kill enemies

Developer

Thank you! Yes, more content ad game feel will be next thing

Submitted

This golden coins are like eyes of the wolves! It was fun to see them all over the place :D

Developer

Thanks for playing! I will put some paint on them!

Submitted

Fun game, I especially like that your gun is used to buy upgrades and knock down health pickups too, elegant stuff. I'd say make the coins a little easier to see tho haha.

Developer

Thank you! I am glad that you find idea of gunusing things elegant)
And I will work with pick ups too

Submitted

Really nice job! I loved the juice and the knockback that the gun does! It helps add some strategy to the gameplay, like maybe I should knock this bear back first and then kill that wolf. The art is charming and I loved the gnome upgrades! I wish I had more opportunities to venture out into the map to see what else I could claim, but overall really fun game!

Thanks for playing! I tried to add a decision-making feature so the player could make decisions during battle

Submitted

Nice

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Really nice game! Love the idea of getting health from trees on the stage. I wish there was some upgrade that made picking up coins a bit easier like giving the player a bit more pickup range. They are also somewhat hard to see.

Amazing artwork and great game overall, good job!

Developer

Thank you! Yep, i shoud make pickups more pickable
