Sheep Love

Sheep Love is a very short rescue game about a barn animal searching for that one sheep to screw on his bed.
Encounter 2 houses with people, a dungeon populated by dragons you can onehit and the game creator's eternal punishment, should you question his authority.


My ultimate goal.

This game has a little bit of humour in it. First some sexist jokes about women which do have the fun in it, except the one on the stove. It was too straightforward even for this type of humour.
And then there is some banter between the game creator and our protagonist - how shitty the game is, and how our sheepish hero should get on with it already. The creater has an influence all over town, and that is pretty damn cool to see.
Hearing him talk about how shitty the game is, is not my defintion of fun, however.

While this is slightly amusing, the rest of the game has little, very little to offer.
The music and graphics are RTP, and while the music fits the general atmosphere, the ghouses are blocky, the tile use sub-par, and even the dungeon maze has a quick shortcut to get out of it in a minute. Tile use is really not that good, with roof-tiles exceeding the actual house without closure, buried chests, nonexisting walls in houses and more.


Now that is all cleared up!

It was put together quickly and it shows on all ends - there is a way to get a useless and an overpowered weapon, which you will need to survive.
Your character has 1 HP and while he blocks it most of the time, he does not always. Luckily, the dragons always spawn sololy, so you can blast away without worry.

Programming seems to be a weaknes, as doors are simply removed or blocked before you can use it - and disappear again in one case after you have used the key to open it. The house indicated by the sign to be a weapon shop is in fact the dungeon you have to move to .. after you got another key from the other house.

The maze is simple, but has enough shortcuts for you to not really be that much of a maze to you. You will find your sexy sheep (which will keep standing in place on the map, even while joining your party), alongside a villain chasing you ..
Who he is, why he is there, why noone knows who he is (sexy sheep included) .. who knows.

A little bit of backstory would really have been appreciated - we know a sheep exists, the creator guides our way to the next place to visit, but we get no "why" we are doing things or "why" this is necessary in the first place.

And when you do return to your house .. you cannot even and the game, as I get the same dialogue as when I was alone.


I got it already.

Now, the creator is aware of these flaws, and this game has been put together in a hurry, the point still stands that there is little merit to have.
A better humour focus, and introducing a story (any story really), would have really helped the game to have some impact.
Thankfully, it is very short.
