Bombing the sheeps is super fun btw
Sound design and art style is lovely
I had a bit of framerate issues in the HTML5 build, but the game doesn't really require high-reflexes where every frame counts, so it's hardly an issue. Great game!
It would be helpful to have a count of the species you are responsible for -- to know when you need to act fast and add more tigers :smile:
Great work overall though
The music is getting a bit annoying fast, but that's the only downside I see.
My one suggestion is that maybe stars should generate a bit faster. I kept running out and feeling helpless near the end.
The 'ba-ba-baa's and 'rawr's were also adorable.
After a while I had my sheep penned within some trees so I seemed to have stabilized my little world.
The map is a bit too big for my taste and it is not necessary to use the whole of it. I came pretty far by just focusing on a tiny corner and making sure everything there lives in balance. The graphics are obviously super cute which is another reason why zooming out to much hurts a bit.
I wish there was more variety to the gameplay itself (but i dont know how to make it better).
Anyway i like that you went in for the big concept.
I do think the game could use some more feedback for the player. It's hard to really know how many tigers or sheep are left with such a limited camera view. It's also difficult to figure out how much each living thing is breeding as it goes so fast.
It's a nice concept though. With a bit more work it could be even more fun.
