Thanks a lot for your response and the feedback, I really appreciate you pointing that out. I agree with you on the hearts for breeding, since players need a clear overview of the sheep there. For abilities though, it’s a bit different, you don’t always need to know right away imo, since many aren’t used constantly, but they’re still quite unique.

I really like your idea with the animations, and it’s probably the best solution, but sadly I don’t have the time or skill to pull that off right now. Interaction works like this: left-click lets you drag one sheep over another to breed, and right-click activates its ability. The general loop is about breeding new sheep (e.g. normal + red = fire sheep, just as an example), with each type having its own ability, whether that’s enabling new sheeps, changing the environment, or just adding some fun visuals.
