Too much dynamic lighting kills my poor laptop, but the game looks good and I love how the sheep "bounces around".

A dynamic camera could've helped, because everything looks so small and sometimes it's hard to figure out where to go.

As others have said - would have loved to have seen the GangBeats style dynamic camera on this! Lovely graphics and I really wanted to get that sheep out of there.. :)

I agree on the camera point as well. Really pretty entry though. Well done. :)

Great visuals and simple but tight controls, I like it. Maybe spicing up the challenge a bit can help.

The second screen doesn't load for me. Just black. Mac OS / Chrome :(

Love how the character looks, sounds and controls, but the fixed camera made it too hard to know where to go.

Really amazing art but also somewhat infuriating gameplay, the sheep controls really difficult (doesn't always jump when you press jump, doesn't always move when you press move).

That really took some beating, especially the 3rd stage. Very impressive :)

The animation of that sheep is perfect. The camera was hard to use, but it really added to the mood! Great work!

The delightful bouncing of the sheep made up for the fact that I drove him to his death repeatedly because of my inability to map up/down to isometric up/down. Very cute :)

Loved the mood and graphics :)
but I didn't find the controls very easy when the sheep is far

Escape DOES NOT open a menu. All that progress lost, like sheep in a cave.
Then I got back to what I assume was the final room, from the white light coming from the exit, and got stuck in the geometry.
It's also really hard to tell where some jumps will take you with some of the camera angles.

Regardless, this is a pretty fun entry and the ambiance is spot on.
