made by Beeb GameCodeCompany for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

BUG WARNING: Sometimes first dog does not spawn! Try reloading game or switching browser!

Use sounds to find your dogs and protect the sheep!

THIS GAMES USES 3D AUDIO, HEADPHONES ARE RECOMMENDED

You play as a farmer whose dogs have run away. You need to call out to them and follow their barks...to summon them back together. Search to find them behind objects, but be careful the wolves are not far behind!

How to play: HOLD down the left mouse button to call to your dogs, the longer you hold the longer they'll call back. Right-click to shake objects to see what's behind them. Calling out to your dogs and finding bad animals all make the wolves get closer, so be careful!

Features

-ORIGINAL GRAPHICS

-ORIGINAL MUSIC

-3D AUDIO

Note: Game can be played without headphones, there is a visual indicator in-game for people that wish to play.

FIX LOG: Glitch with checkpoints kept happening so I fixed it. Swapped song locations for 1 song. And shortened audio clip that didn't save properly last time I did it.

I don't really understand the game but I like the art style a lot!

Instructions are unclear and I can't progress past the first gate.

@aditigro @lixuehan @sicosiber @xanagear That was just a test upload, THE REAL game is finished now. I hope you will try it again and review it properly.

Thanks!

Wow what a great opening. But I think the first level is bugged as I can't progress :(

Going to come back to this in case the bugs are fixed because I really like the premise

@timidger You need to click the "Next" button at the beginning. Hold left mouse button for a few seconds to hear where dogs are at.

Thanks.

the intro goes hard with the lore, what do you do after you find all the dogs though?

Oh my gosh, how did you guys whip up such an astounding piece in such little time? I'm head over heels for your art style – it must've been a herculean effort, right? And the game's difficulty is just perfect, exuding a vibe of total maturity. I'm so hyped, I can't wait to throw my cash at it! Shut up and take my money!!

Hm, tried it again and I still can't get past the first area. I searched what I thought was the right bush and the farmer looked happy. However I can't progress because the wolf is guarding above and I don't have a dog.

I love the art style, the game is very colorful and pleasant to look at. I also appreciate different songs and palettes for different levels. And the cutscene is a great addition!

I didn't figure out immediately that you have to listen to the bark volume to determine how close it is. But once I figured it out, the game was very easy to complete. Maybe some distracting noises would make later levels more challenging.

Great job! Good luck with your future projects!

The art style looks so cute, and gameplay like no other! Really like this one, feels cozy)

Having the same issue as Timidger in progressing past the first area, searching the bush and not getting a dog. The intro and lore are awesome and I love the farmer's expressions. Very cute style and unique sound idea with nice option for no headphones too.

Nice game, guys! Lovely artstyle and interesting gameplay. I also made a game about a sheep and a farmer =)

game seems to be fun, but sadly I can't progress through first level as there is no dog :(

@dywanix @srslie @timidger What browser are you guys using? I'd say try again and see if it works, I haven't run into this problem yet but feel bad other people are :(.

@brainrottedven In the area where you find the last dog, bottom right is exit that lead to ending scene.

Been typically using Chrome because most games seem to not work well in Firefox which is a shame :(. When I get home I'll double check if I'm on the latest Chrome. I'll also give Firefox a while. All this is on Windows 10.

I feel like web exports are such a mixed bag :\. I'm going to need to invest in setting up a VM for home so I can safely run executables.

@timidger really appreciate you taking the time for this. Helps out if we can narrow the bug down.

As mentioned already, I cannot progress past the first level.

Music and art is fantastic. Love the idea and the style.

The 3d audio is a cool touch.

Hopefully there will be a post jam version where I can play some more!

Well done

@dannyk1994 What browser are you using? I never have gotten this problem, I'm trying to figure out where the bug is at

Very cute style, I love the art! I'm using headphones but the audio was not directional for me? I couldn't beat it at first because of that, but I switched to the sound indicator version and was able to complete it.

What a great idea! I love the music and art style!

Ohhh locating through sound is a really fun concept! And it fits the theme in a unique way too! 3D audio doesn't seem to work well on my browser/headphone, but I was able to complete the game relying on audio volume alone.
The original artwork and music is also really great. Overall an enjoyable game!

Love the blocksheep design! Funny game had fun playing yours to.

I had fun looking (well listening) for Biscuit & friends!

The artstyle is truly lovely and sound location was such a good idea.

I wish there was some sort of victory screen once you find the 4th dog though!

Love the graphics and the ambition of the game! I know audio is dependant on the browser and HTML5 audio is unforgiving but the web version is very clicky and poppy. Sorry that's not critique on your work but it does take away from the experience a bit! Super +++++ for making audio a feature!

Timidger

Sorry it took so long to get back to this. Just tried again today and it finally all worked for me! Cute game. Loved the artwork and the sound design was excellent.

Love the look of them sheep! I also greatly appreciated the "bad ending." :D Using audio cues to find the dogs was interesting, I just wish I wasn't able to spam it quite so much.

Capreola

Loved the art, it's adorable! And both of the endings are hilarious. 3D sound doesn't work very well though, so I had to switch to the visual clues to complete the game.

I can't get pass the first level ;`) not sure where is my dog and how to pass the wolf; but it might be an browser issue as you've written that on top, hope you're able to fix that ;)

The artstyle is really charming and the endings ae quite funny.

the 3D audio didn't work quite properly. It didn't pan from left to right as I would have expected, but I was still able to find the dogs though the volume of the bark.

I enjoyed this cut little entry!
