Welcome to Super Sheep Dash!
This is the sequel to the hit game Sheep Dash. It's a very unique and addictive game that lets you do just about anything! And like few games, there is no point to Super Sheep Dash but to have fun!

Let the choas begin... When you see a flock of sheep in a field, do you wish you could set one on fire and watch it run around in panic, setting it's friends on fire as well? I hope not. But if you do, this is the game you've dreamed about! Sheep Dash lets you do just about anything to
countless sheep in either a sheep pin setting or a parking lot setting. You'll find yourself doing everything from feeding sheep carrots to turning them into zombies. These sheep can drive cars while running down other sheep, fire bazookas, detonate bombs,
drink way too much beer, and even bury dead sheep and dance on their graves! And that's just a tiny bit of what is possible in Sheep Dash! With 6 playfields, 25 buttons,15 new modes the possible combinations are end-less!

I could not get out of the nag screen (that appears when you exit ) so I had to click on the link to the site the first time. I figured out later you had to press space, but I suggest placing a "Maybe Later" or something like that so people like me dont think that you are forcing them to go to the site. This game could definately keep a bunch of kids entertained for quite awhile :)

Interesting game. Few points of criticism:

- Installer should give option to launch the game.
- Terrain button doesn't work
- New game is very confusing. When game starts a welcome window should pop up explaining gameplay the first time around, and help should always be easily accessible (your press F1 for help at main menu isn't very noticable).
- After reading help and clicking continue on the pause box, two of the main menu buttons (the left two) didn't redraw and were just gray button rectangles.
- Help is fairly lacking. I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do other than kill sheep...

The tools are fun though and if you explain how to play this game, then it's definitely possible that there's something really promising here. Reminds me a bit of Lemmings (in a good way).

Maybe a counter that goes from 5-0, and then displays a "maybe next time?" button that you click to exit?

Thanks, that seems to have been forgotten :3

- Terrain button doesn't work

The other terrain is only for the full version, maybe 2 terrian in the demo?

- New game is very confusing. When game starts a welcome window should pop up explaining gameplay the first time around, and help should always be easily accessible (your press F1 for help at main menu isn't very noticable).
OK thanks!

Hum... ok weird 0_O

- Help is fairly lacking. I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do other than kill sheep...
I think I'll make a tutorial : )

Alright thanks!

I can't say I am an expert on writing "nag" screens, but a count down is pretty popular.

Haven't looked at the game yet.
But there's some slight display bug on your webpage.

What browser are you useing? It looks like a bold error, I hope it is just temp though 0_o that is kind of strange... I just looked at it and it seems to work fine, but if more people experiance the same problem I'll try to find a way to keep it from happening : )

You have a zoom on your text... if you take the zoom off it should look normal.
