It's quite fun to go around killing sheep, although frustrasting after a while of nothing other than killing the sheep happening."},{"author_name":"aeai","author_uid":"15206","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 8:31am","epoch":1440491160,"text":"I like the graphics and the fact you can roam around. Eating the sheep are oddly satisfying. I wish it would be a little bit easier to catch them, sometimes i needed to circle around multiple times because i had a few pixel wide &quot;miss&quot;."},{"author_name":"grotewold","author_uid":"50248","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 1:58pm","epoch":1440510780,"text":"I really enjoy the turning, it fells really nice and fluid."},{"author_name":"grotewold","author_uid":"50248","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:00pm","epoch":1440510900,"text":"I really enjoyed turning in this game, it fells really nice and fluid."},{"author_name":"MrKOHCEPBAHT","author_uid":"47798","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:01pm","epoch":1440510960,"text":"Like the game dynamics, drive and flow. Hope you will add much more content in the future. Also you should make that Chupacabra more monstrous, with some unique monster abilities. In current version it's just a wolf or dog named Cabra."},{"author_name":"RockhopperGames","author_uid":"46057","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:03pm","epoch":1440511080,"text":"Nicely functional music and graphics, and the animations and movement of the chupacabra were very well done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As a suggesion, either reducing the time it takes to eat a sheep, or adding a level of interactivity to killing them would make the game more interesting. As it is, it feels like you have a long period of downtime when the player should be feeling triumphant instead."},{"author_name":"wesley werner","author_uid":"26303","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:08pm","epoch":1440511380,"text":"As a fan of x-files I say to Mr Cabra: Yes! More sheep!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fun little game you have here, I sucked 30 sheep. Nice run animation, and smooth handling."},{"author_name":"Jakob37","author_uid":"50156","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 6:16pm","epoch":1440526260,"text":"Nice look and feel of it (especially liked the 8-direction running animations of the wolf). Didn't feel like a game though. Would be very interesting to play with some kind of enemies\/threat!"},{"author_name":"glerikud","author_uid":"55555","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:33pm","epoch":1440541680,"text":"Great minimalistic game.

It's missing a sort of win condition and\/or timer though!  It would also benefit from the addition of enemies. (hunters or a bigger animal that can kill you).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The endless world feel was really nice and eating sheep was strangely satisfying, lol. Graphics and animations are incredible, and so is the music.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A great entry I'd say! Good job!"},{"author_name":"lukepilgrim","author_uid":"35160","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 12:26pm","epoch":1440591660,"text":"controls and animations are fun. game becomes a bit boring around the 7th sheep :D"},{"author_name":"TakeNapEveryday","author_uid":"18126","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 4:44pm","epoch":1440607140,"text":"The movement feels so good, helped by the excellent animation. I actually liked how the sheep movement made them a bit tricky to catch and you had to circle back for them. The pause while eating felt a bit long and broke the flow - I wanted to be able to do something to speed up that process instead of just waiting."},{"author_name":"LastLeaf","author_uid":"47265","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 6:15am","epoch":1440742200,"text":"Maybe able to run faster (or something else) would be good to gameplay.
