_________________________

Become Velcro, the world's best shepherd dog!

Velcro has been born with a unique mutation: His fur has tiny hooks, which attach to a woolly sheep on contact. This way, Velcro can gather the sheep faster than any other dog!

In the game, the dog is running all the time in circles. Hold space to change the circle direction.

This game was made for #bitbitjam4 in 2017.

I was planning to attend bitbitjam4 for a long time. I was already determined to make a C64 game, like in last year, again. Before the topic was announced I was dreaming of making a simulation game, probably with historical background if the the theme would allow it.
Then the theme was announced: "Velcro sheep" and a restriction "one button". To be honest, I was thinking of letting it go, since I could not think of a single idea that would address the topic in a meaningful way and allow me to make a game that I would like. So I did nothing for 4 days, but the contest did not get off my mind. Finally, I had an idea of a dog that gathers sheep by attaching them to its velcro-like fur. Well, the idea was there, but there was not much time left to make the assets and to code. And a friend once told me about something like "testing", never heard about it. Surprisingly, I managed to come up with a game in the end, but I was not able to find time for the sounds or music. Don’t be sad about this, you most likely wouldn’t appreciate my self-made audio anyway.
