Thanks! It's a bit subtle now, but if you look carefully you start to sort it out, then it gets a bit easier. We definitely have a few ideas for some extra things to add in making the wolf more distinctive for earlier levels for post-jam.

Thanks, yeah definitely can see trying to tweak this a bit more after the jam. I almost abandoned the flock algorithm a couple of times, I had no idea if the game idea was going to work until we actually had it all running together late in the week. I had forgotten I had knobs to limit the velocity of the sheep and they were zooming at first which made it not sheep-like and non-functional. We lucked out and it's been fun to see the emergent behavior being used like this for the gameplay.

I had worked into the algorithm the potential for multiple wolves to find, but didn't test it nor had time to implement how that'd work. So, a few areas to explore later. Thanks!

Yeah, my partner came up with this pun for the title and it was brilliant. Thanks for playing! 🐑🐺

Each level adds an extra sheep 🐑 to the herd, speeds up the wolf a tiny bit, and make the sheep more comfortable with getting closer to the wolf 🐺. Our record is getting to Level 11. 🙂

Yeah, there's definitely a component of watching the ones you think may be it for a while and determining if the sheep are consistently turning away from the wolf or not. Thanks for playing!

Now that we know it works (we had no idea if it would at first), we could make it a bit more obvious to start or ease-in with the tutorial. Patience and watching the herd is a big component of success though. 🙂 Thanks for playing!

Thanks! Yeah, patience matters a lot sometimes to just wait it out. Though the wolf does speed up and the sheep will get closer as the levels progress (in addition to more sheep), so it gets tricky! Level 11 is our top score. Folks should post screenshots of their end screens if they can bleat that!
