I really liked it! I had a hard time once the maps got a bit larger and complex. It was hard to understand what has a hard obstacle and what was just normal terrain. The controls were great - and I found a lot of satisfaction in figuring out the levels.
I really enjoyed the mechanic to this game. It’s overwhelming since ya gotta think quick on inputting the right combos. I think one thing that was hard to manage was when the map was getting bigger, you have to type the letters and click Enter (jumping on the keyboard), but you also need to manage the map with the mouse control. Then again, unless you are good at planning fully ahead on the map, then that’s manageable. It is a nice escalation though.
And there’s SHEEP!!! Watch out Sheeple!!!! RING RING RING RING RING Such nice chill music and beautiful pixel art~
Thanks for playing! Yeah the mouse movement was added in the last few hours as a hot fix for some of the last minute levels that were getting bigger and could feel frustrating without any control over the camera. We really love sheep it seems since they tend to show up a lot in our games haha. The random rotation of the sheep as they scatter was actually just a test to see why they weren't rotating like I wanted them to, turned out to be funny enough that we just left it and moved on to more pressing matters. Again, thanks for playing! :D
