New upload. The infrastructure is there for the sequel. The current demo is really, really short, but despite that should give you an idea of how the game will work. Sheep Rancher fans should give the two-minute gameplay teaser a run.

Big differences in SSR include:
* Adventure format, rather than strictly puzzle (and consequently, some non-linearity in puzzle choice)
* Spells as pickups, rather than settings for a puzzle
* All spells are initially "locked" and must be found before use

All of these changes are present in some form in the demo.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Wow. I've never seen something this inovative since... I forget. And that's a demo.
I am sure everyone can agree with me when I say; no life is complete without sheep rancher. Seriously! Smokin'

Bug : The sheep can jump out of their pen if they collide next to the entrance.

That's not a bug. That's what made level 14 of the original so hard. That's why I never beat the original Sheep Rancher.

Unless you're talking about the second puzzle, where the red stars automatically warp the sheep, that is. The yellow star requires that all sheep be inside.

Also, if you don't read my LJ, you may not know yet that Sheep Rancher was #1 in marketability in the recent contest. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the LJ or the SR Concept Art thread.)

Thanks for the feedback. You're making me want to make this game, you know... now I just have to decide whether to OHR it or program it. Leaning towards programming, but I'd want an artist if I did.
