Wow, those graphics were really awesome, really liked the style of the game. Just like the 'olala' sound of the sheep :)
I did think the game was a bit too easy, but still an awesome job on the concept.
Milo: I agree. Some sort of power ups that need to breed into the sheep may come in a post-compo version.
Sanguine: Thanks! How far did you make it? It gets really hard around day 12-15.
my score : 12 days ! It seems that sheep gender are randomized on the morning ? I can't understand why because one part of the strategy is to ensure that you have an equal number of male and female.
I like the graphics but I think the wolf animation could have been better. Animate the mouth could have help to figure where's the eat bounding box.
nice entry :)
Oh la la!
The idea of this game is pretty neat. That said, it needs a lot more complexity for it to work.

I think that this game would do better if it had more decisions to make - there is really only one choice you have - which is to drag a male sheep onto a female sheep, and it's not very engaging to do that repeatedly. The graphics are some of the best I've seen so far though.
