After a well informed interactive tutorial, I immediately left click the sick sheepðŸ˜. This was a nice and simple game, well challenging, and the king voice was so funny.
A clever interpretation of the theme, the idea is interesting. I didn’t catch the trick the first runs but after some intents I got it and I started to enjoy the experience. The text can be hard to read sometimes, so maybe moving it and changing the thickness should help. Good job with this game.
happy you enjoyed the experience and sorry for the text problem , i never noticed that actually were you playing it on full screen like the game page note says?
Nice sheep counting game! It's fun to see all the different ways that the idea of counting sheep can be turned into a gameplay loop. This one is almost like a Paper's Please meets counting sheep, very cool! I did find the popping sound to be pretty jarring and loud, but it was effective in drawing my attention like waking up fast. I actually liked the variations in the sick sheep, added a good challenge to it along with the back and forth of left and right click getting my fingers all mixed up, very nice! I appreciate a good pattern game like this where you really need to focus and lock in. I do think the text was pretty hard to read as it was black test right over the sleeping king or the text bubble. And maybe just a short blurb about how there are different looking sick sheep. I thought at first it was just the spotted one. Overall, nice game! Thanks for making and sharing it :)
thank you so much for your comment and happy you enjoyed the experience , appreciate it !
Interesting game. Take a bit of time to find the normal sheep but still entertaining.
happy you enjoyed it !!
It took me a while to realize there’s only one shape for a normal sheep, and all the others are just sick. The pop sound genuinely caught me off guard. Such a great, funny little game.
thanks a lot !
and btw if you checked the game page you would see that i shared the information about the normal and sick sheep
Those Tail less sheep are evil! the only thing that's catching me off guard and making me unsure if I should left or right click! The pop sound jump scared me too, headset blasted my ears!
Really solid and fun gem!
haha happy you enjoyed the experience ! sorry for your ears🥲
Even after the demo, I was so confused about the sick sheep and healthy sheep. Then came to know that you have to observe the sheeps carefully before clicking... Good game, had fun :)
that's a part of the game you had to figure things out haha
appreciate the feedback <3
Great concept and a lot of fun to play once I figured it out! I just had trouble at the start because the tutorial showed one kind of sick sheep, so that's what I was looking for. Then, when I lost the first... 10 times, haha, I didn't know which sheep on the screen did it. Maybe the game could've spent a second pointing out the offender.
Also, nothing to do with the gameplay - when you're doing pixel art, watch out for mixels! That means mixed /different sized pixels on the screen at the same time.
happy you enjoyed it !
thanks for pointing that out , it's my first time making a pixel art game and i didn't know such concept exist haha
i'll be more careful in my next projects , thanks again !
I loved the tutorial. The game was really cute, I kinda sucked at it a lot, but it took a while to figure out what made a sheep sick...
The face? The lack of a tail. The pimples. It took quite a lot of trial and error because a lot of the sheeps looked safe, and I couldn't figure out what was the issue when it became gameover. I think if the tutorial included what to look for, it would have made it a bit easier.
And the music was fire.
i wanted to keep the tutorial short and simple so i added the sick sheep models in a screenshot in the gamepage , and yk the game is made to be competitive so its okey if you struggle a bit : )
also thank you for your feedback it means a lot <3
Ohhh, it was the ear for one of them! I couldn't figure out that one. That makes sense. I thought it was the perfect amount of simple, so it was a skill issue on my part. Great work on the game!
I couldn't figure out which sheep to click which way but I like the king wake up animation
the demo in the beginning and the note in game page explains these very well , you have to left click on the normal sheep and right click on the sick sheep if you do the opposite you lose, and there is one type of normal sheep and variations of sick sheep.
