PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Use your Lamb Cannon to propel sheep with startling precision. Land all the mutton on the platforms to progress to the next stage.
Ever increasing difficulty means you'll never run out of stages. Place your highscores in the comments please!
Made using PlayCanvas, Qubicle, Audacity, a Guitar and a cardboard tube. I've also included an "Easy" version where you get twice as many attempts.

Finding the right spot to land the sheep was tricky and unpredictable for me. Sometimes they would land on the platforms but just fall off, sometimes they would hit the corner of the platform and just "pop" onto the platform, and sometimes if I hit the score numbers it would register as a landing, but none of these things were happening consistently. Regardless of that it was charming and I kept playing for a bit, good work!
Very fun and looks great. I did have a problem on one level where I landed the sheep on the platform 3 times before it accepted it
I found hitting or not hitting the grass block to be a bit unpredictable and inconsistent. Overall fun though.
Fun game, controls felt good and the graphics and sounds were nice. I enjoyed it :)
Didn't get the game mechanic until the 3rd or 4rth try.
Loved the graphics.
Good game! I love sheeps (hence, my game also has sheep) and I replayed the game a couple of times because it was rewarding. I think the game would benefit from better UI and a BG sound, but other than that, it's a great little game. Good job
Very relaxing game. At first very hard, later it became easier when i get the hang of it. It reminded me crossy road a little bit. But i love cubes!
4600 !
I'm suprise how those sheeps fly well, we should have use some for our game ! ^^
10200. I was kind of struggling at first until I tried trying to make them land on the platform instead of shooting them AT the platform.
Pretty hilarious. I respect the level of polish with the sfx, streak text, background art, tween text.
My High score is 8800 :)
The game is good and is a nice way to chill. One suggestion is to have a mode where there are obstacles to make the game harder as the player progresses through the game.
Wheeeeee! Flying voxely sheep. My highscore was 12000 after a few attempts.
Fun game.I like the audio and the pixel art graphics.Good job :)
Remember when you commented on my game cows vs clowns and you said I would like yours? You were totally right. One of the most fun I've played so far.
Nice idea!
Once you get the hang of it I think the aiming works pretty well actually :) The bonus points for a streak are nice.
my highscore is 15400
Very nice! Simple concept, but seems to work really well! Add a global leaderboard and a bit of polish and you've got yourself a full game! :D
Got a little impatient waiting for the sheep to come back.
The feedbacks were really nice, (streak!)
Also the firing is satisfying. good stuff
it was fun but I did not see how it fit the theme - it would have been really awesome if the sheep screamed when coming out of the cannon - great job
Fun game! The audio effects were great - I felt like there was sufficient "umph" in the cannon noise xD. Overall great job!
Got a highscore of 9000 so was pretty happy with that. Took me a few turns to figure out the best way to approach it but once I did it got a lot easier to predict the angles to use. Nice simple design done really well.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Nice work! I was surprised at how easy it was to start getting the trajectories right.
