I started using them a few years ago, and realised that there are lot of games which are so much more fun with a gamepad. And this game is one of them! :smile: (By the way, in the menus I can't use i.e. the A button, I had to press Enter on the keyboard)\n\nWhen I looked at the counter and it said 16, I asked myself how will all these sheep fit into the pen because the current ones are standing very lazily at the entrance, blocking the rest of the pen. I tried moving them a bit inside, but a lot of them just ran out of the pen, so I believed in you and kept herding them. :smile: \n\nAnd surprisingly even the 32 sheep fit! The controls were good, the dog run and barked so well, making the game really immersive. However it could have a bit more depth, when I finished a wave I always expected something more than just having more sheep to herd.\n\nOverally, solid game, wish there would be more content! :) Keep up the good work!","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1000477,"author_name":"Jiri Hysek","author_uid":"jiri-hysek","epoch":1696363558,"text":"My doggo is very tired, so many kilometer in his legs!

I found the sheep tended to get a bit stuck in the trees in the back right corner. Also I found the later waves with more sheep quite a bit more interesting than the early ones, do I try to keep them all together and put them in the pen in one go? is it worth to chase after one sheep that left the flock? \n\nIt would be interesting to see what the game would be like if the sheep had some simple flocking AI, like a Boids algorithm.

I hope the doggo gets to relax after a long day of work. I really liked that the sheep were able to leave the pen after they initially enter it -- it added extra challenge when I realized that if I barked too close to the pen, I would drive some of the sheep back out. When I hit 32 sheep, it became a bit challenging since the sheep didn't fill up the edges of the pen so I couldn't fit my last couple sheep in, so I had to drive the sheep out and re-pack them inside better. Barking at all the sheep inside the pen and seeing them all jump and bleat in unison was really funny! I also liked the camera angle change near the back corners, though the abrupt transition is jarring. The collision areas, particularly in the back corner, are also unclear since they're larger than the visible objects. I like the barking and bleating SFX (good job voicing the animals!), but I didn't enjoy hearing the same sounds repeatedly over the repetitive soft background music.\n\n![hmscyf_screenshot.png](\/\/\/raw\/b8a\/43\/z\/5fb13.png)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1013571,"author_name":"INCD021","author_uid":"incd021","epoch":1696588794,"text":"Nice take on the theme, I did have a problem with the controls and the camera shifting, but it might have been all the games I played where the controls were different (relative to the direction the play is facing).
