How does your game fit the theme?
The player was stuck in a dream, and must collect sheeps they count to wake up again. Will they get deeper in sleep or closer to reality?

I was originally thinking of making a sheep herding game for this jam, so your game was a nice find! Looks beautiful. Fun to play!
Cool game :) Loved the idea and art style
We made the game with sheep too! You can try :)
Really fun! I really liked the art style :)
Amazing game! I loved it!
Interesting game! My game has a similar idea
Wow everything in this game is so cute
as Skotro said, the game is very cozy but I had a hard time getting more than 1 sheep in the loop without getting killed ;’((((
really cute game, i liked the UI and the game itself has such a cozy vibe.
Nice little jam game, loved how pleasant everything looked!
I also encounter two bugs:
Very cute and fun game with a super polished look and feel! Great work on the sound design as well.
These incremental upgrade games are always a lot of fun but for next time I would recommend focusing more on repeatable permenant upgrades - if you made the time, speed and strength upgrades permenant upgrades that you could buy again and again with them getting more expensive and only raising your stat a small amount each time the sense of progression would be even better. With the current implementation there’s less motivation to keep going - I’ managed to buy evertyhing on the first loop so I already saw what a maxed out fox looks like
The sheep make such cute noises when picked up! The art is nice but the mechanics need some tweaking to make hauling sheep around more interesting!
very cute concept and art but the mechanics are honestly just not that fun. with how sparse the enemies are and how wide open the map is its very easy to just give them a wide berth and eliminate any danger which makes the game devolve into just tediously lugging sheep around painfully slow. maybe it'd be more interesting if you made the map a little tighter and played up more of a stealth angle with avoiding the dogs? and im not sure the heavy slowdown when holding a sheep is necessary - although it'd probably be more tolerable on a smaller map. i do feel like it might be fun to be more able to rush in and grab a sheep straight from under a dog's nose, but maybe that role would be better filled by the speed ability if it wasn't only one use per loop.
the jump in the time limit from thirty seconds straight up to five minutes with the time upgrade also felt really awkward. i feel like the base time should be a little longer, and maybe there be multiple tiers of extension. as it stands you can basically only grab a handful of the closest sheep without the time upgrade, but then getting the time upgrade suddenly gives you plenty of time to scour the map, which feels off. there also doesn't seem to be much use for the magic beans beyond slightly extending the radius of your collection zone - i think more of an emphasis on stealth might help this as well since there could be situations where you'd want to lure a sheep away from its guards.
overall i wasn't particularly satisfied with this game as it stands but the art was really good and i could definitely see the game being made into something more fun.
overall great, did not manage to get a hundret, but was very fun to play
Chad light boot fox vs beta growling dog. Was a fun play!
I love LOVE the art and the item upgrade feels impactful! The audio is also really well done!
Decent game, there was no full screen button (or I missed it) :(, the camera jitters a bit, the dog is a bit buggy, but other then that, this game is actually good
it's got the makings of a fun game, nice work
It's funny
Unique interpretation of the "loop" theme (with the dream)! The art is very cute and the UI is very clean. The beginning is quite difficult but overall, good job on the entry!
