the visuals of the game were so cute and so well thought out! the music was so fitting and nice. This game definitely is one of my favorites and it should be yours too.

Baa!

It was cute, nice concept, but something about the physics or controls or something felt a bit off.  Maybe it's that I can slip off the corners of things... (maybe I'm just not used to platformers built with general-purpose physics engines?).  Also it seems like sometimes the mushrooms bounce me higher but I'm not sure why/how to make it happen intentionally (I tried timing the jump button, I tried holding the jump button).

(It's also entirely possible that some of the physics-feeling-off came from me having a decade-old laptop with an integrated GPU...)

Aside from that... cute!

Interesting artstyle. The popsicle stick was also nice gameplay wise because it showed x position of characted mid jump, so I always knew where I would fall (if I stopped moving). I don’t know if this game has coyote time, at least sometimes it felt like it isn’t there and jump height wasn’t variable. These are quite essential for good platformer. But these are just small issues with movement. Otherwise nice game.

i very much enjoyed being a sheep. the 2D sheep and 3D platforming was a great choice, as was the rotating around the globe!

The art and audio are very well done!  The style is super cohesive and fits the vibe very well!  The stick puppet and rolling environment is a very inspired choice, and very interesting for a platformer, very neat way to present the game!  You did a great job!

This game has many issues (controls, cheap stars...) but the vibe is immaculate. I love it.

49 sheep counted, 89 deaths lol. Clever game design and use of theme. Gorgeous art and music is nice.

This game instantly pulled me in by its quirky artstyle and then I became addicted to the progression which was one interesting thing. I really did not expect anything but got everything.
 Also, talk about how its the game for the last day of game jam when you can finally drift back to sleep, maybe you will be haunted by some ideas in your dreams. Who knows. 
 Great job.

I just finished playing through the entire game. Teleportation level had me pulling out my hair. And the shooting stars? Terrifying. The horse? I don't wanna talk about it don't touch me. Amazing game. Super fun and really creative concept, amazing music too. My heart was POUNDING during that last part, ifykyk. Loved everything about the game, good job to everyone involved, really, it was amazing. Time to go find a therapist now

I have completed this game and I sincerely hope this wins! Amazing artstyle, gameplay, ideas, story, music and sound; great representation of the loop theme, and when you think it can't can any better or weirder, it does. I have been frustrated many times from dying and even more frustrated from the teleportation level, which makes it even better. The last level gave me way too much adrenaline. Good job to everyone involved in making this game! I had a very lovely and enjoyable time playing it :D

Wasted way too much on this game, this is an amazing and entertaining game! The artstyle is amazing and the music as well! Loved it!
