I like the fact that you made a sequel! Cute art. The camera angle makes this one feel really immersive, but the camera movement is a bit jerky.

I enjoyed the game. The shooting, sheep, and everything was good. The movement/camera wasn't for me personally, but I still liked it!

Hahaha this is brilliant
The gameplay and entire feel kind of reminded me of "Rayman" somehow, there's something nostalgic here

I actually finished it, the boss dragged on a little bit, other than making it slower, I would love if it had a progress bar like the rest of the stage had!

The game loop was fun, but I got bored of it suuuper quickly. If you hit the end boss sooner and made it clear what I was supposed to do (perhaps with more feedback) it would've been great. Was curious what happened at the end of the game but I died and there is no way I'm gonna play that long again. Overall an impressive submission and I liked the visuals, just could've used a bit more respect for my time.

Good job on this game. I found the start of be fun but it quickly became boring in my opinion. The camera could have also used some work. Keep at it!

The game doesn't seem to be running :/ A command prompt opens up and closes immediately before I can see what the issue is. This is on Windows 10 btw.

A Blender game, interesting! Needed some getting used to, but the Fungus got slain :D

Hats off to you for using blender as a game engine lol!

I liked it but I feel like the road leading up to the boss could be a bit shorter but harder, because it took a really long time and got pretty boring.

but when I got to the end I was excited to see there was a boss fight, unfortunately I died and didn't want to do the whole road again to try the boss again

I still had fun with it :D

Original idea, the game takes the form of a puzzle, very fun, the music and the graphics are cool

Neat game! A little trippy for those with motion sickness, but I had fun with it! :smile:

I'm usually not skilled at all in all these manovering run / shoot things, but I finnished this one! Ok... I kind of cheated - I didn't use a/d but just kept shooting, but I won!

Took like 10 minutes to extract the Zip (5.7k files in there lol), but once I got started I was surprised to see it running as part of Blender! You don't see those every day :grin:

The boss fight was interesting. I thought it was broken - I kept fighting the first phase for like 4 minutes before I realized how to actually get up and attack it.

A few notes:
- Flying backwards is... er, trippy.
- The brown sheep in the first phase seem to match your speed. If you slow down, they do too.
- You can basically just press W and hold Space to get through the game without doing anything. Perhaps some pickups or things to incentivize the player to actually move around the environment might've been great!

I'm not sur there's a way to beat the boss, tried multiple things but then I died so ... overall nice game, it just need some "depth" (haha ^^) to the gameplay, cause the optimal way to reach the boss is not really that fun
