Game's Take on the Theme
There's a windmill that generates energy ONLY ON DAY TIME, so you gotta spin it by yourself at night so you dont die, while managing your sheeps and not dying to the boss.

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes! Everything by me! Execpt the page flip sound.

If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

I love how it looks, and the music and idea are great. It's a very good game :D

Developer(+1)

Heyo! Thanks for playing, hope you had some fun! :D

I LOVED the aesthetic and was completely swept away by the boss designs. The sheep-as-weapons gameplay is really clever and original and I enjoyed all the juggling I had to do, it scratched a part of my brain that not a lot of games have been able to target. I found myself completely immersed in the world and characters, it all felt very cohesive. I had a ton of fun, definitely one of my favorites! Amazing job!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing! I'm so happy you liked it! Your comment made my day, thanks so much :D


I'll be sure to check your game out later! On my list! ;)

Submitted(+1)

Has that analogue horror aesthetic to it haha, love it. Very creative way of attacking and the bosses and songs that go along with them are hilarious. This is a very unique game, great job! I really enjoyed playing it!

Developer

Hey! Thanks for playing! I'm happy to hear you like the OST. Its always my favorite part to make tbh lol.  :D


I'll put your game on my to play list! I'm sure I'll have fun :)

First of all, I love the aesthetic - I can't tell if it's trying to be cute or ominous but it definitely succeeds at both (especially the foreboding feeling when night falls). The music is also great and fits the vibe perfectly. When the first boss hit I realised I thought I had a LOT to manage at one time (energy, moving sheep, waking them up, keeping them near the middle etc.) and got destroyed, but by the second time I realised that the game was actually prety fair. I also hate paying taxes. Very good game.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! It's so great hearing you had fun! We all hate paying taxes :D Watch out for the government

It reminded me an old, mythic game - Petscop, but it was a horror game, that one is... eehhh... idk if i need to take this game seriously, like look at these dogs, oh my gosh, it was very cute. You just need to work a little on the level design and it'd be cool.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing and the feedback! Hope you had fun. Yeah my level design is not one of the greatest, I'm trying to improve it little by little on this jams :)

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game inspired on Petscop theme or on 2.5D games.
Visuals are great, controls are good, but music... It's so strange and... annoying i think?
And why game have GodotConsole in zip-file?

Developer

Hey! Thanks for playing! And thanks for the feedback! The GodotConsole is just here because it's the default export and I forgot to delete it in the heat of the moment.

 I will take criticism that the music is annoying, and will try to lower frequencies when I try to compose again, maybe reducing the BPM, idk. Might be the instruments, as I really like the Kirby SF and the Yoshi's island SF.

Submitted(+1)

hmmm, I recommend you to slow your music and add guitar. It will be sound like farm from early 2000s games.

Or 

you can delete one of the Instruments/samples and slow all song.

I think as reference to your Farm Song you can bring “Campsite Song” from Baldi Basics+, or “Mort’s Farm” from Pizza Tower, as you want of course!

And sorry about my rudeness :)

Submitted(+1)

Very unique game! I like how it looks and the mechanics. Great stuff!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

it's a good looking game! i like the small details like when you reach the top when it's going to flood, it actually skips the timer instead of making you wait until the timer finishes! and i like that sheep doesn't make you walk slower when you pick them all

but there are game breaking stuff in the game that softlocks you when like when fighting the cloud and the moon it has dialogue that makes you unable to move and some other bugs

and i don't understand how could i spend currency in the dogs shop
without these bugs the gameplay is cool and the music is really great!

Developer(+1)

Hey kit! Thanks for the feedback, I had no idea of the climate change softlock, and I appreciate you've liked those little details I added. I found it way funnier to get faster instead of slower when grabbing them. Idk, my brain goes bobo when fast lmao. You buy things using your energy and the sheep that you throw at the dogs are instantly delivered to your ranch, it's easier that way and way less annoying to bring them ALL over the map.

Thanks for the feedback! Hope you had fun! I'll sure to check your game out when I have time! I had a lot of fun developing with ya in vc!

Submitted(+1)

thanks lol it's really cool game and it would be better if you fixed the bugs!

i don't hate that you go faster i feel it's good

also some bonus feedback:

i feel like the spin jump is useless most of the time and for the first boss idk why he keeps repeating the same 2-3 dialogues it would be better if he just says it less often

also i find it funny seeing you in game  as one of the shop dogs lol

anyway your game's vibe is nice and it def feels like animal crossing espcially when amarica tells you that you own them 10000 (he's like tom nook lol)

Developer(+1)

Lmao. Yep, the spin jump is useless, I couldn't really design an attack that was actually fun with it and the  first boss indeed has too much dialogue, lol. :P


Yes 10.000 for energy bill is completely fine trust me lmao

Submitted(+1)

totally not greedy lol

Submitted(+1)

Such a charming game! I loved the whole aesthetic of it, and the idea of managing the energy and sleep of your sheeps :) One feedback from me is the mouse cursor, sometimes it was really hard to follow where it currently is, specially when its further into the screen. Maybe if you put some transparency in the things thats hiding the cursor? Great game!

Developer

Hey! Thanks for playing and the feedback! 

You're completely right, it's true that it can get a little hard to follow it, might've been lack of play test, after a while we get comfortable with our own games. Thank you so much! Hope you had fun! Planning on adding that after the jam finishes.

Submitted(+1)

I loved your game, the art is very beautiful and cute, the sound effects fit very well! Congratulations on the game!

Developer(+1)

Hey! Thanks for playing! Hope you had fun! Just put your game on my "to play" list, it looks promising!

Submitted(+1)

This game gets a cute rewards. I was able to kill bosses, I didn't really get the shop part of it though. Grats on submission, and good luck!

I rated and submitted to return the favor of your rate submission of my game below! 

- If others read this, RATE/REVIEW my game to get me to try yours as well! Thanks!

Developer(+1)

Hey! Thanks for playing my game! Hope you had fun! When buy things they are delivered directly into your ranch central area so you don't have to carry them ALL OVER the map, lol. I found it more convenient. :D

Submitted(+1)

oooo okay thats how i got a few extra sheepies!

Submitted(+1)

Very cute and silly game. I don't fully get how the sheep bomb or how some of the attacks work, but I do love stacking them on my head. The flood attack does seem to affect interactions tho, couldn't pick up my sheep behind the steps.

Developer

Hey! Thanks for playing! The sheep's attack from all range, why? Didn't have time to code them actually throwing the bombs, lol. Yes the flood attack has some issues that I couldn't fix but I let it in because I really like it. Hope you had fun! Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

The game has a beautiful retro style, and I really enjoyed the mechanic of having to do multiple things at once. The music is amazing, and each boss feels unique, almost like they have their own personality. 

Also, i don't know if you remember, but thanks for helping me finish my game! (I'm the guy who asked you how to make SFX)

Developer(+1)

Hey! Thanks so much for playing it! 

Yeah! I remember you! Man, I want to play your game asap! I've seen you in the submissions tab a couple times already. Community is for helping each other and having fun! Will check your game when I get home!

Submitted(+1)

I really like the retro 3D style, I think it looks like the mother game and I really like the color palette in terms of Art, Its really fun the gameplay! I really enjoyed the turotial.

Developer

Hey! Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Sadly I couldn't progress any further than the tutorial section of picking up the sheep. I've picked them up, waked them up, tried to walk further, nothing happens or works.

I like the direction of the art style, however I don't think the checkerbox pattern is quite fitting. Maybe leaving it flat with just a little bit of shading would look good.

Developer

Weird, could you please send me a screenshot of where you got stuck? This is weird, it didnt happen in any of the playtests. Anyway, thanks for checking it out anyway! The Green patterns change after the tutorial, its just that section i didnt have time to model.

Developer

I downloaded the itch build and it seems fine, did you go this way?

Submitted(+1)

I couldn't try it again yet.

But I didn't realize you can stack the sheep, I only picked up one. Maybe that's why I couldn't progress.

Developer

OH THAT'S WHY LMAO! It's only possible if you grab all of them, I'm so sorry for not clearing that up! On your time, I too haven't got to try yours yet, but it's the first in my list!

Submitted(+1)

Yeah that wasn't clear to me. I'll check again when I have the time to play games again instead of just commenting on the phone:D

Developer

Sure! Have fun and take your time. The period of rushing to finish stuff is over, now is just fun and games.

Developer

Well I tried my best, this isn't what I expected to become, and I hope it's at least fun for you people. Well, back to main projects!

Submitted(+1)

I love the setting and art style this game went for, gives off strong Animal Crossing vibes while still trying to be its own thing. The bosses were fun too and I like the addition of the dialouge.

But quick question, and sorry if I was playing the game wrong, but am I supposed to be throwing the sheep at the boss? I noticed that I can just chuck the sheep wherever I want and the boss will still be attacked

Aside from that, this was a really good submission with a very unique setting, concept, and bosses. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Nope, you were playing the game right! You don't need to throw them at the bosses, I tried this option a time back but it made the game way harder and it kinda taked away the ideia of you having to change their position for them, as you would always be aiming in the same direction. Thanks for playing! :D
