Hella Farm

Do sacrificed lambs go to heaven?

ℹ️ About

Another short incremental game about dragging and flinging sheeps and demons around a farm!

Buy a sheep or two, sacrifice them to summon an entity from beyond, and deal with it while trying to get the most gold coins possible!

Then... perhaps sacrifice the entity itself to summon a stronger one, or...

Make your sheep wear a top hat? Sacrifice fancy sheep?

Where does that skull come from?

Recipes

Drag five entities on the five pedestals in the middle of the farm to perform a summoning!

The results depend on what's on the pedestals:

  • 5 Sheep → 1 Imp
  • 5 Imps → 1 Chupacabra
  • 1 Skull + 4 Any → 1 Chupacabra
  • 5 Chupacabras → 1 Watcher
  • 5 Entities with a top hat → 1 Watcher + 5 Top Hats
  • 5 Entities with a monocle → 1 Watcher + 5 Monocles
  • 5 Watchers → 1 Cthulhu

Skulls are rarely produced when sheep are eaten by a demon.

Sheep have a rare chance to spawn with either a top hat or a monocle, and they will drop it on death. Any entity will wear them on contact.

Nice work! I loved the art, and I think it was a really cool idea to turn summoning into a crafting mechanic like you did. The top hats and monocles added some charm as well.

That's an intense game! I haven't read the recipes beforehand and had to improvise and figure out them by myself, and babysit those demons, so they'll not eat my sheep! Fortunately if you place them on summoning circle they're dormant, so I've used this to get most of my summons :)

I got a bit addicted to the game haha, really cool mechanics! Felt like babysitting a bunch of demon cats that are hungry. The gameplay is really solid, hats and monocles were a nice touch.

Very cool little game, big drawback for me was the constant having to click to keep summoning sheep. If it just summoned sheep whenever I had the money it would have been a much smoother experience and focus could have been kept on the chaos growing as you have more and more summoned creatures. Good game though!

How do you not have more reviews? The urge to get a Cuthulu is so great I had to just burn through it and play. Would be awesome to see more extensions like combinations of sheeps + imp summons or something. Plenty of room for growth and well scoped. Great work!
