Okay, this is pretty neat. The physics are funny and contrast in fun ways with the ominous, creepy atmosphere, the looping idea is kinda neat, the upgrades are pretty cool and unconventional and creative, I like the visual style and sound design...

...also, my curse of running into obscure bugs nobody else ever seems to has striked again, I managed to get stuck on this ledge and had to restart the game after.

Still! I really like this. Actually probably my favorite game I've played in the jam of the ones I've tried so far, which in fairness isn't that many but still.

Ah, I should have explained this but if you spam Space you can wiggle yourself out of those stuck locations if they happen.


Glad you enjoyed it though!

This one look goofy, creepy, and interesting my PC laptop can't handle it unfortunately. IF this downloads on my MAC I could try it. I will be unable to rate it properly without ability to run it on better system though. Sorry!

this was really cool, i like the nontraditional powerups and controls. i wish ya'll had had the time to get the story in there, i'd like to know more about the weird sheep critter, but i definitely understand the time constraints. i do wish there was just the slightest amount of air control, just anything that shows that the input is being registered. otherwise it's a good start to something, it'd be cool to see it expanded on.

the game ran at 10 fps for me and the base movement speed is not that high so it was painful for me to play, but despite of that i enjoyed it a lot, the inverse kinematics for the legs added a lot to the "sheep"'s creepiness,

Glad you enjoyed it regardless! Yeah sadly this is the caveat when using an engine like UE5, it has a lot of fancy rendering and stuff going on and I didn't exactly spend a huge amount of time optimising.

The gameplay are interesting, I like how the the pit of death led back to the beginning. The visual are cool too, the environment arevery simple but the lighting looks really nice.

Stickwall is nice but the sheep leg sometime will also be stick on it which make the sheep can't jump off and fall down. But still, cool game!

Thanks for letting me know, I think I can do an easy fix for that bug.

Ok so that was pretty cool, especially with the whole aesthetic, but please increase the move speed! The whole game would go so much faster and be so much better if you didn't crawl. I know you are a sheep but come on.

Speed aside, great job on the upgrades and gradually telling the player what to do. And the Sticky Sheep ahahahaha I love it!

Thanks for playing! I think the reason I settled on a slower move speed is because I spent ages working on the procedural leg walking physics and once I got that working I realised I can't easily change the walk speed without it all needing retuning so I opted to just keep it at my first choice of speed which is possibly a bit slow for some people wanting to get through faster.

This game had an ominous vibe that i really enjoyed. The controls were simple and I think the ability unlocking was well done and really fit the theme well. Very nice job!

Haha, it took me way too long to figure out the end :D

Nice job. Very unique idea and well executed.

Thank you for playing! Yeah the main feedback I got really is that it's not clear how to end - I also didn't want to just put up a big arrow so I figured I'd make the other sheep tell you but it's easy to miss. If the jam wasn't over I'd probably do another pass on that.
