I enjoyed the game once I understood how to play, but it was hard to understand the canon at first, because the instructions at the bottom say press space to operate canon the first few times I tried, I was like "aaaaarg why aren't teh sheep going in the blender." The graphics are pretty good, but I don't feel like the music fit, but I don't blame you music isn't my strong suit either - at least you had some. I really liked the idea of being like willy cayote - or an evil wolf eating up sheep with elaborate machines. Good job - overall.

Couldn't figure out the point.

Verrazano: Thank you for the feedback. The game definitely needs some instructions, because the mechanics are quite bizarre. Audio is another aspect I should've spent more time on.

I like the graphics. The sheep are simple yet fun to look at :)
The controls could use some work, and the sheep escape the fence from time to time.
It's a shame there is a time limit, because I also liked just playing around with the sheep.

I like the style of the graphics, it looks really good.
It would be nice if I had more time. At least it could be something like when you score a sheep you get more time or other bonuses.

dvdking: I agree, that would've been a good idea. I need to spend more time on polishing gameplay during the next LD.

Nice color scheme and music! Lovely minimalistic look. Gameplay wise it could be a little faster.

I found the time limit rather annoying, but other than that the game was pretty awesome.
