Sheep Collector by hunttis

made by hunttis for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

You are a sheep dog!

You probably want to play with a chrome-based browser. Other browsers seem to perform worse.

The sheep have gone all around the place. Gather them up in the corral, you have under three minutes!

WASD: control the dog IJKL or mouse: control the camera. Q: bark SPACE: dash Shift: sprint (keep pressed to keep running) You can also use a gamepad!

Yay! I resqued all the sheep. Fun simple idea.

The game lagged when dashing but not sure if it's on my end or common problem. That made it a bit harder to get into it. Otherwise clean game. Musics were ok, if a bit repeatative. Sounds were good. Scope felt a little small for a Jam game.

We had the same game idea!
Super cool to see another take!

Great execution! I really like how the sheep behaved in the flocks!
I like the audio - Lucky for you to have a dog and sheep to record - we had to do the noises ourselves! :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

All in all well executed! 5/5!

Great game - we went with the same game idea. fun to see how we almost had identical game mechanics. I liked the music and the duck at the end was a fun touch. great flock logic - sheep moved really naturally!

I only got half the sheep but it was fun! Shout out to the animals for great SFX!!

Thank you everyone for the kind comments and all feedback! Regarding the scope, it's indeed quite limited but we had less than two days to finish the whole thing (we only do this for the weekend) and we've had issues with a too ambitious scope earlier, so I'm quite happy we dropped some extra ideas we came up with while developing the game, and instead concentrated on polishing the essentials. But this could definitely be continued with some extra features and/or levels!

Very cool game, its remind me my old farm that i go when i was a kid with my family, i like the idea to control the dog and used his bark to move the sheeps ! Really cool

Yay! Another game about herding sheep :D It looks nice, and I think you nailed the feel of the herd. The controls work well, too. My main issue was performance: I had regular massive slowdowns on Chrome.

Love the music too, and the quack at the end made me laugh.

This game was so much fun to play! Loved the sheep motion and the overall dynamic. Would have loved to play more levels! Music was fun to listen to was well! So well done!

Really cool concept and take on the theme! Music slapped! I like the voxel artstyle but i feel the models were quite small / camera zoomed out, so couldn't see them so much. Gameplay was fun, a little hard but fun!
