Alpha testing for my new game A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing opened, looking for feedback

I’ve been working on a new game that is inspired by murder mystery style games.
The basic idea is that one player is a farmer and the rest are sheep. BUT one of the sheep is actually a “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” (The title of the game lol). The farmer has to figure out who the wolf is and shoot it. The wolf has to defeat all the sheep before time runs out. The farmer is invincible and earns coins and xp based on how many sheep are left, The wolf gets coins and xp based on how many sheep they kill. Sheep just collect coins and get rewarded xp based on survival time.
Players Needed: 3

Things that I’d love feedback on:

  1. Is the leveling or coin system unfair/too slow?
  2. Any bugs
  3. Thoughts on the map
  4. Should I add a crate system to replace the current skin shop
  5. Thoughts on UI

If you do check it out, Thanks!

Cool game, I’d suggest chaning up the U.I (Such as the twitter U.I, game u.i’s,etc) I’m also wondering how many people is needed for the game to start there we’re 2 people in game and it wouldn’t start, if that’s not an error please change the number of players for it to start 2 please. :slight_smile: overall good game!

It’s three, ima edit the post cause it isn’t very clear XD

Well, first, there were too few players to start. Since I couldn’t start anyways, the UI could definitely use a lot of work. I think the items in the shop should have previews of what you’re buying. The map (for the lobby since it didn’t start) was pretty bland. If there’s a farm you could’ve added a barn, instead of endless green. Obviously, the game is still in beta but if you hire skilled people you could really have a great game. Try to hire a mapper and UI artist, it would improve the game.

Edit: After playing the game with the creator and some nice people I will admit, the mapping was quite nice. Earning coins is honestly quite a trial, I achieve about one coin per winning round, (about none of those haha) The leveling/exp system was very slow, and during my session, I was never actually once picked for the wolf. The cooldown, (I have no idea) was probably in the decimals. The wolf could kill as fast as a gamer eats Doritos. With some work, the game would be great, and the experience I’ve had in the game was rather pleasant. 8/10. No bugs, good signs!

How do you think you are supposed to play the game with only two players?
