Hey there !
This game is my very first Ludum Dare. It was a lot of fun to make and I hope you will enjoy the couple of minutes you will play it. :)
On a final note, to play, you simply need your left mouse button !

Thanks !

Gameplay could use a bit of variety, but it still works well. It's really hard to hit targets that are much faster than you
However, I think it feels a little lack of content,
if you reward players with some abilities like charging/ time slow/ stop when you put faster sheep into the farm, then the gameplay can be more diverse!
As others have said, some kind of power-up like a thrust or a dash would add a lot of variety. Also if the evil goats could hurt you back, that would be cool.
My biggest complain is about balancing: In the second part sheep move way faster, have more health and spawn faster all at once, that is a big ramp up in difficulty in comparison to the first part. Still it was more motivating than frustrating but a smoother difficulty curve would have resulted in a better and more fun experience.
Another thing worth tweaking is the camera distance. I played on PC and when the shit hit the fan and I where chasing many very fast sheep I only focused on the sheep icons on the border of the screen rather than the actual visuals. Otherwise the time I have to react is too short. This is especially unfortunate because your game looks so nice. I can imagine though, that the current camera setup is better for mobile.
All in all, a perfectly scoped and well executed project that would be perfect with a little bit more tweaking.
It gets a little difficult when the black sheeps appear and they go as fast as flash but still its pretty good.
Great job!!
Did you try another control setup such as WASD or gamepad?
Cute and fun little experience while it lasts!
