I got the dog stuck in the pen!!!

And do I have to keep one sheep on the blue spot just to have the pens open? I fear I shall never achieve it. No doggy biscuits for me.

Still, people who're good at that sort of thing seem to be doing ok, which is what matters.

I quite like the twitter integration: some of the people I follow often tweet their game status. And it's all more advertising. )

Thanks for update hopbeat. And putting my icons in it.
Feedback:
- I never thought about moving icons to the bottom of the screen, I was thinking that it's something wrong with them and they don't work. Maybe would be better if some hint appear when you touch icons, highlighted rectangle at the bottom with text in it: "move here", or something.
- sound is great

the problem with a normal highscore is how do compare against others.

had my first crash while moving through bushes haven.t been able to reproduce.
also i noticed that when you win at first the lets YO come up at the bottom right before it says YOU WIN at the top

The twitter thing is an open matter, but let's be frank, it is a nice and simple way to advertise the game (and maemo platform if tag #maemo is added).

@mivoligo, thanks, I will add transparent green and red stripes at the bottom and at the top to indicate that those are active zones.

@stobbsc, yes, the crashes are related to the bushes, I have a race condition somewhere there. I'll work on it.

@RevdKathy, yes the dog may got stuck if it actually enters the pen. Please let me know, how do you see the difficulty of the game (controls versus tasks required).

[edit] I'm glad that apparently the game installs without problems

I managed to get a sheep into a closed pen through the fence, which meant I couldn't get hi out again, but neither did he count as penned properly, so a sort of stalemate. I'm guessing that wasn't intended.

It's addictive, though!

Installed: Fine and cleanly
Loaded: fine and cleanly (white screen between open and start?)
Sounds: great
Icons: all ace - though no actual game icon yet?
Accelerometer response: great
Aim and tasks - good apart from a few comlexities... the dog getting stuck, or a sheep managing to 'jump' a fence and get penned without getting counted.

I'm supposed to be working, so I'll stop here. But is is awfully good.

(Done it! 214 is hardly a good score, but damnit I'm proud!!!)

The icon should be there, if the cache is not refreshed, it will appear after reboot.

Aha! An excuse to see the lovely maemo.org boot video again then!

BTW, I checked rootfs, and don't seem to have lost much at all, if anything. From which I deduce (in my ignorance) that it's optified, and the Qt4.6 libraries likewise.

Got the icon. Though also crashed out of the game. I suspect M Mo knows I should be working.

One more thing. I have Catorise installed and Sheep is under System not Games.
