No idea where I found this or why it was in my library but I'm glad I did. A very funny and relatable demo of a comedic, point and click, storyboard, survival game based in Australia.

I wasn't expecting much but having completed it and getting the achievements I'm defo considering buying the full game.

It's a shame this is no longer available and that it has been released as a Demo on the main game's page, as I doubt it now comes with achievements.

A very satisfying little game about a cute sheep (called Sheepy) trying to find its flock, collecting rainbows, meeting cute doggos and avoiding slime monsters along the way.

I enjoyed playing however there are a number of issues such as the jump being terrible and there only being two levels. At the end, after 30 mins of game play, I was left wondering if I had missed something along the way...

I'd love to see an updated version with more levels and maybe a level editor, more achievement-linked challenges such as defeating every monster or completing a speedrun under a certain time. Sheepy 2 would be cool!

Fairly enjoyable, albeit short and tedious maze game. Pretty decent for a game originally made for Microsoft Excel!

It involves moving around a maze, interacting with doors, bookcases and portals, with the aim of collecting magic orbs.

The story is a nice touch and you can easily complete the game in under an hour with 100% achievements.

Suggestions:
*Having each intro slide as a person with the text being them talking
*Ability to run
*Extra items like keys and and torches for dark rooms
*Keyboard shortcuts
*Character customisation

So much potential but this game is unplayable!

I wasn't sure whether or not I would like this game, and found the controls to be a bit odd and uncomfortable until about half way through the game finding out it is made for game controllers, but I actually did until very late game...

Overall, I found this to be a fun and engaging little game, slimmed down version of Mount and Blade, however the reason I would not recommend is that the lag in at late game battles is INSANE. The soliders run 10 steps forwards and 9 steps backwards, the player jumps around and takes random damage and the battle ends up taking several time longer than it actually should because of all the reinforcements and re-spawned Knights piling in from on sides that you have little control over.

I've played and completed Game Corp DX by the same author, a game that was originally a Flash game that I enjoyed many years ago, and the flash version had terrible lag late game, but the Steam version has fixed this. This was an excellent game, although a bit repetitive mid to late game, which it has in common with this game.

When you get to the last region, the AI no longer produces troops and because the battles take so long and because you cannot direct knights at specific targets, by the time you have conquered a village/keep, the last one you took is back in control of the enemy. As the region castle cannot be taken without taking all the other buildings, you are stuck.

Because of this and the awful lag, I couldn't complete the game, which is a shame really!

So much potential but this game is unplayable!

This looked good when it was advertised, and was fairly fun until a few hours in when it just got boring.

I came back from a break of 5 years and a month exactly and within 10 minutes realised why I stopped playing. The game gets boring very fast and in those five years there's very little changes made to the game!

Achievements are easy, most you'll get from simply playing the game.

Micro-transactions are typical, expensive and pointless.

The Cold War post-apocalypse theme from Fallout is fun, however the format is awful!

This is an improved version of a ten or so year old flash game that still exists on ArmorGames.com and kongregate.com, although you need SWF player and the version of the game on these sites incredibly buggy.

Thankfully this version is mostly free of bugs, at least the ones which really stood out in the earlier form.

It is nice to be able to play this awesome piece of nostalgia without the incessant lag and bugs you would have had on the browser version and even though it is very easy to complete, it is still a fun game!

For the first time in my eleven years of Steam, I completed a game's achievements, which took me just over 4 hours, and completed the game in 30 minutes more. I could likely do this in the half the time if given a second run.

It would be nice if Damn Hot Gaming (the original developer) or maybe Endless Loop Studios will release a sequel. Extra features like buying out rivals, investing in other things as well as potentially a faux stock market would be cool. Automation, so as to minimise micromanagement, would also be a nice feature.

All in all, this is an fairly good game and would recommend it to anyone interested in Flash-based, real-time strategy, simulation games.
