I finished the third level. The art was really nice, the sound was functional and added to the experience. The dogs were easy to control. The camera was not always helpful: it focused on one dog only (I guess he was the alpha dog), and at times it simply showed me a tree and no sheepdogs at all. I would've appreciated the ability to scroll the camera, for example using WSAD. Some colliders seemed a bit wrong, and the in level3 pathfinding was a bit strange: sheepdog were running around a tree stump the long way, even though there was a clearly shorter path. For game readability, I think it would've been better if you marked the grassland zone and the \"home\" zone more clearly, for example using colors or using the fences.\n\nFor a minute, I thought the third level was an impossible assignment because more and more sheep were spawning. It was a lot of fun running the dogs through the pack of sheep :)\n\nDid I mention beautiful art?","likes":6,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Elemental Zeal Game Studios","author_uid":"1003414","time":"2017-12-07T00:01:46Z","epoch":1512604906,"modified":1512604906,"text":"Really pleasant looking game (: \n\nRelaxing if you let it be (;\n\nThere's a bush that doesn't have a collider or something near the end so you can go right through it for an easier path.

I love that I could control two dogs instead of one, it was super helpful. I think as each level goes so should the level requirements (add one more sheep required to complete the level). At the beginning I thought I just had to lead them into the little cabin at the start, maybe you should make a dirt path leading the way to the pasture. There is also one point where a giant tree can cover up the screen and I couldn't see my little sheeps! Luckily I scared them out of it. Also, on the path where the fallen tree is, there is a bush in-between the fences that you can go through. (Not sure if that is intentional). Fantastic cute game!!

Vielleicht h\u00e4tte man eine Box um alle Tiere als Kamera-Ziel nehmen k\u00f6nnen, oder den Mittelwert der Koordinaten aller Hunde.\n- Die Kamera ist etwas zu nah. Ich kann nicht genau sehen wo ich hin muss.\n- Die Musik-Schleife war etwas kurz. Sp\u00e4testens im zweiten Level wurde es nervig. (W\u00e4r aber perfekt f\u00fcr meine Cuphead-Parodie!)\n- Ein paar mal ist ein einzelnes Schaf in einer Ecke stecken geblieben.\n- Mehr Schafe sind immer noch sehr einfach, weil man nur 1 Schaf schaffen muss. Es wird sogar einfacher in Level zwei! Zus\u00e4tzlich\n- Level drei ist sehr offen, und ich h\u00e4tte mir mehr \u00dcberblick gew\u00fcnscht. Die Schafe haben dauernd gebl\u00f6kt. Wo zur H\u00f6lle ist meine Farm? Wo endet die Weidefl\u00e4che?\n- Ich h\u00e4tte gerne die Zahl der wei\u00dfen und schwarzen Schafe angezeigt.\n- Level 3 hat sehr geruckelt, Schwarze Schafe haben den Eingang zur Farm verstopft. Es gab ziemlich viel pop-in in dem Level.\n\nNun das Gute:\n- Art Direction ist prima. Ich wei\u00df nicht ob das alles Niels @gnihad war, aber alles wirkt wie aus einem Guss. Der unschattierte Farbstil mit vielen runden formen ist gut lesbar, und sieht sch\u00f6n aus.\n- Wegfindung der Hunde und Schaf-Verhalten sind die besten die ich bis jetzt gesehen habe. (Auch wenn ich mir nicht sicher bin ob ihr einen Herdentrieb habt un wie stark er ist)\n- Die \u00dcbermenge an Schafen in Level 3 ist sehr lustig.\n- Die \"Core Loop\" passt gut zum Spielziel.\n- Ihr macht alles richtig was bei mir kritisiert wurde!\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"gnihad","author_uid":"1002468","time":"2017-12-13T23:00:14Z","epoch":1513206014,"modified":1513206111,"text":"@blubberquark btw, es gibt keinen Herdentrieb.
