Since you could fire all your catapult at the shortest range always and the sheep would just walk towards the enemy and kill them."},{"author_name":"chikun Dev Team","author_uid":"29857","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 11:54am","epoch":1429789740,"text":"You know, medieval societies would trebuchet animal corpses into cities in order to break a siege with disease and pestilence. \r\rBut doing the opposite - flinging live sheep out of sieged castles - is much more fun."},{"author_name":"AinoraZ","author_uid":"50640","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 2:24pm","epoch":1429798740,"text":"The game was quite fun to be honest, but it was quite hard to adjust the power to fit > _ <!

Alternatively, in fullscreen mode with the game on my left monitor, I decided to only rotate one direction, so my cursor was always on the left edge of the left monitor. But then I kept muting\/unmuting the sound every time I launched a sheep. :-\/\r\rPart of me wished that the sheepapult direction was tied to the camera direction. To prevent that from being overpowered, you could still cap the max rotation speed of the catapult, but still have the catapult rotate in order to realign with the camera. Might at least be something to experiment with. If you tried that, you could even have the vertical camera angle tied to the catapult "charge", with a visual indicator on the ground for how far the sheep will go. Then again, maybe I'm just wanting to make the game trivially easy. :-)\r\rA minimap would be a nice added touch to know when knights are popping up behind the player."},{"author_name":"reheated","author_uid":"15514","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 2:37pm","epoch":1429885920,"text":"Fun! I like the graphical style and the silliness. But tell me this: If the sheep can walk towards the enemy what do I need the catapult for?

Graphics and UI seem polished, which is nice.\rHowever, the overwall experience was lacking.\rThere is a throw power bar, but no reason to use anything else than lowest power. \rEnemies are hard to see, and the catapult is hard to rotate to the right angle; mouse feels awkward. \rMaybe, because of those control and graphics difficulties, I couldn't appreciate the gameplay that much."}],"images":["ld32\/44205-b6e63cc8e21952c795711de1705bb3d7.jpg","ld32\/44205-1d9ec4fb2ab6c6fa5516ef619a7589de.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/102307029\/Builds\/WoolyDefender_Windows.rar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/102307029\/Builds\/WoolyDefender_MacOs.rar","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/102307029\/Builds\/WoolyDefender_Linux.rar","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"12794","g_author":"44205","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"12824","g_title":"Wooly Defender","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"601","g_commentcount":"12","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/44205-shot0-1429561003.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/44205-shot1-1429561003.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The evil self-exploding knights are near and your only weapon are your...sheeps?
