We really had no time to balance things, so I'm glad the overall experience is still nice. I hope more playtest will help us next time.\nThe actual effect of the bark should be pushing sheeps a little away and break the chain between wolf's bite and a sheep. We initially thought of giving Dog a direct counter-attack against the wolves, but it seemed to make the game too easy. I agree hitboxes can be refined, and the edges too xD","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":891384,"author_name":"Corrupt Spaghetti","author_uid":"corrupt-spaghetti","epoch":1666130227,"text":"Funny description and unique concept.
