Boy, herding and counting sheep sure does make Fido sleepy... It's just a shame about the hungry demons lurking nearby.

Fido is adorable, love the sound effect of the bark. Very cute game and premise!

Submitted(+1)

Wonderful artwork! The barks were also perfect, it's a very cute game with a fun gameloop. Really liked the eye timer but I was a bit confused as to how time passed because it seemed to jump at random.

I adore this game! the artstyle is amasing, Fido's barks are adorable, and it's an interesting interpretation of the theme! I love the variety of demons, the different behaviors they have are fun. Amasing game! :]

I love the artwork!  Also loved the variety of enemies (the possessed sheep in particular provided a nice little challenge because they often necessitated spreading out the whole flock).  Not terribly difficult, but a really fun core loop and gorgeous graphics; I love the spritework here.  All-in-all, this was a great game!  I feel like some music would really add to things, and I would have liked for either some kind of endgame goal or a running score / leaderboard, but even as-is, I had a lot of fun and ended up sticking around for quite a while (until several nights in a row of no new kinds of enemies).  Really fun game, adorable sprites, and a neat take on the theme.  Great job!

This was gooooood, the art, gameplay, sfx *chef's kiss* but the only thing missing here was the music, really wished there was that alternate whether it's morning or night- and maybe even a quick how-to/tutorial? but doesn't really matter, you'll get the hang of it if you have gamer instincts. Nonetheless, it's a very good game, good job on this!

Nice idea and good implementation, uhhh I didn’t die so I ended up waiting till I thought I got all the content then left the game, it’s quite easy. the sfx are great, I wish there was some kind of music, maybe only in the morning or so, the world itself could have used some polish. though im quite surprised at how well balanced the sheep movement is and how controllable barking at them is. good job!

Nice idea, the demon in sheep was very adrenaline rushing, and daytime wasn't always safe. the hard coded difficulty may not be much challenging to me, but it was appropriate coded.

What a cool concept!! I love how you have to actaully make sure the sheep dont run away and how you implemented the sleep into the "defence" part! The audio was fiting aswell even without music and the art is so cute!

Once I figured out the gameplay the game was very fun. Love the art design, and the gameplay loop is pretty engaging :)

Here’s the result. I liked the werewolf sheep icons—and I actually lost precisely because I didn't notice that one of the sheep was a werewolf (I knew what it did; it was just a lapse in attention). I also liked the wolf that’s invulnerable to the first sheep it encounters. The subtitles turned out great, though maybe they should have been sped up a bit? At least the first line? I almost opened the menu because I didn't wait for the subtitles to appear.In my opinion, the barking should also change when the dog is in the attack phase?

OMG lovely feedback, thank you for playing;
glad you enjoyed how we designed those two wolves, and good points about the making the end stats & attack bark more clear to a player!

Very cute game and art! Took me a bit to understand the game, but once I did it felt very fluid.

The art is awesome, it's what drew me to the game from the submissions page. The gameplay is a bit confusing at first but you get the hang of it after a few seconds of trying to figure out what to do. I enjoyed it!
