A downloadable game for Windows

Hey, wanna save all the sheep and kill monsters ?

Blood Sheep is a small arcade game created under 48h, you will have to gather the sheep in their corral while killing ennemies and avoiding killing your sheep

The game is played with WASD or ZQSD and your mouse, no controller support sorry

This game was created for the GMTK2021 Game Jam on Game Maker Studio 2

I did everything by myself and didn't use any assets (except for using one free of use Sheep photo and a color pallet called Red Velvet by MirruTatep )

There are so many things that I haven't done or could improve due to the time limit

For the moment there are only 3 different monsters and they are very simple

The waves of ennemies are also completelly random wich is pretty dumb for balance purposes

I'm still pretty happy with the result especially the offputting atmosphere that i think i've done pretty well.

Thanks to Mark Brown for throwing this MASSIVE game jam, it was a lot of fun!

Nice job on the visual feedbacks! There's an attention put on particles and screen-shakes that make the game really dynamic and pleasant to see. Plus the variety of monsters is well apreciated.

However, I must admit that the herding kinda felt slow and laborious. The shooting part was fine, but trying to huide those sheeps into their corral was a bit like a chore. Maybe there miss a mechanic to make it mor dynamic?

Still, it was pretty fun to play! :) I wasn't able to get huge scores, but enjoyed the moment I spent with it! Kudos.
