Enemies are currently letter x's whilst bullets are letter o's.
The game is nice and fast, and as RSKGames suggested in a comment, it does indeed have a "World of Castles" vibe going on. The regular AGameAWeek deadline is pretty much imminent, so I think I'm going to let it whoosh past, and instead give the game the attention is deserves. Chests and Treasures and Hearts and Potions and a whole bunch of evil do-ers roaming around the dungeon. That's probably the best w... Views 24, Upvotes 4

Sleepy Jay took over, yesterday.
I knew what coding needed to be done, but nothing productive was happening at all. I tried a few things, including building a nice random dungeon generator, but.. .. Boy, that didn't end up nice, at all! Today I might scrap what I did, and redo-from-start. Views 31, Upvotes 3

A few tweaks have to be done to the frontend of Sheep Goes Right.
RSKGames has noticed the Credits screen is an absolute mess, and that there's no Back button on the Level Select. There's also a weird jiggle to the level select when you first load the game. Views 38, Upvotes 6

Sheep Goes Right is now in the hands of Apple.
The iOS edition is "OK", and doesn't appear to do anything out of the ordinary, but we'll have to wait and see whether Apple approve it or not. Meanwhile, tomorrow I need to figure out how to display the Windows Online Leaderboard on the screen. The menu in its current state doesn't really leave the usual gap for that, plus I kinda broke the usual online functionality. Views 32, Upvotes 2

DevelopmentsI've got a basic scoring method in the game.3 stars instead of 3 sheep, but basically a case of "Beat the level on your first try for 3 stars, 2 stars if you lose a life, 1 for losing 2, and anything beyond that gets no stars." A tally is on the right hand side of the menu, and that's pretty much all the scoring there is. Views 57, Upvotes 3
