Thanks for your comment! More is coming we are working on the upgrades at the moment and some of the features you've mentioned will be included there. Also we have a resurrection system in plans :)

Hearts aren't useful enough. I would suggest that a heart gives you back the cape and perhaps a temporary shield when it is consumed
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I really don't like how the shield will be taken away before the sheep I'm riding does. Especially since I've got my shield upgraded 3 times and its still lucky to see more than one every 2000 meters.

Ive just started and Ive noticed when you try and go full screen if it cant "Switch to requested Monitor size" it crashes Unity Webplayer.
It seems that we have fixed full screen bug in Sheep Happens. Please check the latest version (1.6.3) of the game. Sorry again for the problems with the game, we all hope this time it will finally work good for you! :)

As I look upon my cheering croud, i forget to look ahead, tripping on a sheep. There, a chain reaction starts that topples 3 sheep lifters and 2 bull lifters, making sheep rain from the heavens and topple the runners in front of me. I can't help but wonder where all the sheep came from, or why hermes gave me the boots that started this whole mess, but my main thought is to try again..! and again... and again...
That's a really good question! Thanks! So, the story goes to the Greek mythology according to which Hermes is an Olympian god and a god of trade also. He is a big trickster, and outwits other gods. Hermes sells one of his “goods” (flying sandals) to Perseus, who is taking part in the Olympic Games and wants to win. BUT one thing that Hermes doesn’t tell Perseus is that sandals are not properly working: they are unstoppable. Happy Perseus (who actually wanted to cheat also!) starts his run and only after the finish line realizes that he cannot stop :)
As for the sheep – they are coming out from the rope pullers once you jump on the rope made out of sheep.
Good to hear that you are keep trying :)

maybe its just my internet but load time for this game seems impossibly long, ive been waiting about 5 min so far as i write this

A complaint 3 actually.
Not enough variety
Be specific with your objectives
And the screen is too dark make it lighter
Other than that its fun and addictive :D

I love the game. One change I would like (but is not necessary to enjoy the game) would be to add small mini-games (like a battle in the colosseum where you can wager gold against an opponent (100easy/500medium/1000hard difficulty), sword fighting for gold ('up' attack high, 'down' attack low, 'left' block, 'right' jab w/ shield), and possibly bow and arrow bullseye/target shooting for gold (higher cost for smaller (longer range?) targets with higher payouts?
Thanks for your comment! There is one mini game in Sheep Happens so far. Once you run pretty fast you can see Hermes who is flying and teasing Perseus. You can catch him and fight :) Your ideas seem to be really interesting and we are planning to include some of them into upgrades (shooting, other bosses, and some new controlling mechanics) :) Thank you!

anyone else find that he looks naked? but its great so far, as for the menus id be nice if when your mouse was over them id light up or maybe say start or something.

Really good core game. I'm really impressed with how tight the controls are and tactile the obstacles feel. My suggestion is that you give players more of a feeling of progress. It seems like the missions are randomly generated and it'd be a lot more satisfying to work through them towards an end, possibly unlocking new, randomly generated missions afterwards. And more than that, and ending would be good. I made it 17.5k meters and it just keeps going on.
Also, as fun as the combos are, it'd be great if we could unlock new moves as we continue to play. Being able to do a double jump on a sheep or when you've lost the cape would be great, and even something like carrying or throwing sheep, or grabbing the lifters pole for a polevault move, with everything rewarding and escalating amount of coins so that it's not just looking cool.

Why does the free coins for high scores reward players in 1's? i have earned 7,000 coins, im not pressing that button 7,000 times come on dev, fix that
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Even with both Hermes upgrades maxed I still can't beat him. His attacks fire as soon as the sheep is on the screen. Since our damage is even and he shoots first I always lose.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Also, I'm guessing English is not your native language, as is fairly common among developers here. When referring to combos, the total number of hits, not just subsequent hits without stopping, form the number of the combo. For example, if I jump on one guy's head, then one sheep, you call this 1 combo, when it's properly "a 2 combo" for the two total hits. Also, in several missions, you have described things like "get 5 combos" when the actual mission, properly stated in English speaking gamer dialect is to perform "a 6 combo". Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me if you'd like some help working out the descriptions to better suit the target market!

@Da_Devil, have a hint: dirt-covered sheep are safe to step on, if they're still clean, they'll trip you. Hope that helps.

Thank you all guys again for your comments and suggestions! We have fixed some of the bugs and prices in the shop. Look forward for your feedback ^_^

definitely fun, but two complaints:
1) upgrades cost a lot
2) sheeps hurting me. if i get a chain of a million sheep, i'm playing dodgeball with the wreckage. from what i've seen, once an obstacle falls i can walk over it, but if the sheep falls it does damage to me

Not sure why but seeing all the flying sheep is really entertaining. If you can fix the money bugs and the mission description I think you'll have a solid [4/5] game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The missions are way too vague... -small image- "jump on 7 times". Please elaborate since not everyone can figure out what to make of the image next to the mission description.
When fighting Hermes, the goal is to tap on the sheep that are randomly appearing. When you tap on the sheep, it blasts and Hermes got hit. When you miss, Hermes kicks Perseus and your life bar goes down. You got bonus if you win the mini game. If not you just continue to run. Distance tracking stops when playing the mini game. After finishing the mini game distance tracking continues. Also, there will be some changes in the game after you win the mini game :) Check on that too!

Bug that i have noticed, the amount of coins you find on a run does not fully apply to the amount you obtain at the end, example i find 200 coins on a run, the coins start subtracting from what ive found and doesnt apply to coins i can spend right away, then the total coins i can spend doesnt go up by the 200 i have found, it will be a range between 120 and 160 of the coins
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Couple of bugs that I have noticed playing: 1) Money disappears before reaching them. There will be an arc of coins as I approach it, one or two disappear. 2) My total amount of coins diminishes after a level. I had 1,912 gold coins but when the level ended I had 515. You might want to check into these two bugs as they have significant effect for coin grinding.

People need to learn to stop putting their IOS games on Kong. If you want people to play it, just put out a realistic demo on the appstore.

Also, full-screen doesn't exactly make the game go full screen, it actually makes the game appear in a smaller view for some reason. Might want to check up on that.

As already stated, the upgrades are pretty costly, but I understand why. They're pretty costly because it's a way to keep people playing in order to get the item they desire, which should increase its replay value. BUT, the repetitiveness DOES get rather tedious quite quickly, so I do believe dropping the item prices should make things a bit more fun.
I also understand that this is a work-in-progress Runner, and the in-game achievements are pretty good ones thus far, but perhaps providing a bigger reward for completing a bundle of achievements would also make the item retrieval better.
One last thing: About 80% of my losses were due to staring at the action going on in the background, very outstanding job on that aspect.

Working on game balance = balancing it to the right point so that they make this the perfect money sink, I'm guessing. And in that sense it's doing a terrible job. We should want to pay kreds because we LIKE the game, not because it makes it easier. And while I will admit this game does have good aspects, it's not enough on its own to make me reach for my wallet.

My primary complaint for this game has to be that the upgrades take far to long to get. The game is enjoyable and the sheep flying through the air can make for a hilarious chain reaction, but it feels like you have to work to hard to get so little.

Thank you all guys! We are still working on the game balance and gameplay. Your comments help us to make the game better and we are always open to your suggestions, please leave your comments here or email us.

Fun game, but I agree, upgrades cost too much for the rate you get money. Including that starting bull one, since it takes about three runs to make up the 600 it costs.

fun game, but upgrades cost too much. maybe increasing money rate or lower prices to balance. other than that i love it

Upgrades cost way two much I only played for 5 mins and I saw the upgrade prices and din't want to play for a sec longer 3/5 since the graphics where pretty good I guess

2/5 As others say, not enough variety, gets very boring very quickly. Only got 3 upgrades/max distance 2K. So I don't know if the upgrades make a huge difference or not, haven't noticed any real change from the first ones.

Please add upgrade for Kratos, so instead of just you hitting him, he hits you too(no damage), giving you a speed boost

Some of the time the hit detection feels like garbage. I land perfectly on a fallen sheep and it doesn't bounce me back up like it does the rest of the time when I land on them...

So, this game is obviously not in beta. We keep getting pay to win games here in beta that seem to be more of a test of sales. This is a decent game, but not anywhere near as good as some other launch/run games on the site, and many of those have fair progression. In Burrito Bison you CAN buy money with Kreds, but it doesn't take forever to get everything without it. In this it obviously would; a game just made for purchases defeats the entire purpose of a game. You have to ENTERTAIN us to earn our money, except for fools.

Good game, but I have to agree that collecting coins for upgrades is a bit dear. This is similar to what people had problems with Ninja Slash and the upgrades got less dear and the game became more fun to play.

*eyes cheat engine which can give infinite gold in a matter of minutes*... nah, not worth it. Really though, people are not going to spend money on this. They'll find ways to cheat for kicks and giggles, but I doubt anyone will spend a dime on it.

Gets repetitive far too early to make anyone want to spend kreds on buying stuff in this game.
For graphics and general game mechanics you'd get 3 stars. You won't get the other two stars because it gets boring rather fast and because the upgrades don't change enough to make you play on (an insanely boring and long amount of time) to get them in the end.
