How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Freeze defines the core interaction: you play as a shepherd who uses a whistle to stop sheep and control the flock. The whistle is central to the simulation, and upgrading it creates deeper strategy by expanding the best timing and positioning for freezing.

Hey, I'm not sure you know me, maybe you do since you got my name lol, but I'm the real Vortarium and I couldn't help but notice that when I search up my username this account shows up, I was just wondering out of respects and such if you could change your name to something slightly different. Thank you for understanding.

I'm going to paste this message around your stuff in case you missed it
Very fun and interesting game!
Thanks! I’m really happy you had fun with it.
This is fun, well done!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy you had fun with it.
GG! Super cute game.
GG! Thank you so much for playing — I’m glad you enjoyed the cute sheep chaos :)
Very polished game, really enjoyed the mechanics it's a good way to combine whistle + freeze. And the SFX were very funny too, overall loved it, great job!
Thanks a lot! I’m really happy you enjoyed it. I wanted the whistle and freeze to feel like they were part of the same core idea, so I’m glad that came through.
This is so much fun! Nice animations and phisics. I found it intuitive and I liked the implementation of the whistle. I enjoyed you game, very nice work!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear it felt intuitive to play. I also spent a lot of time tweaking the sheep animations and the bouncy, fluffy feel of their movement, so it means a lot that you enjoyed that too.
Feels very satisfying, the only thing that I would change is the whistle sound as it was a bit too loud for me.
Thanks for the feedback! I wanted the whistle to really define the game’s sound design, but yeah, I may have pushed it a bit too hard. I definitely learned from this that I need proper volume controls next time.
the feature where u have to freeze the sheeps to get the other sheeps to go to the side u want is smart and fun. its lwk satifying too if u manage to get alot of sheeps in the multiplyer sides
Thank you so much! That’s exactly the kind of fun I was hoping the game would create, so I’m really happy that came through. It’s super satisfying when the sheep flow the way you planned and pile into the multiplier side.
Congratulations! you got 950k wool!
Fun game! too bad I couldn't figure it out at first, my first playthrough I fell short, but then I found out the way to go is to upgrade sheep first, ez win. Good job, fun game!
Thank you so much for playing again and figuring it out!
I’m really happy you gave it another shot, and it means a lot to see you understand the game so well that you ended up getting way past the target score.
Thanks a lot — I’m really glad you had fun with it!
I’ve added a simple “How to Play” screen at the start of the game. Thank you for the helpful feedback!
it's a nice concept and the gameplay is also very good!! although i think there should have been a proper tutorial part to explain how exactly the game is played...
Thanks for playing, and thank you for the kind words!
You’re absolutely right about the tutorial — I think the game ended up feeling pretty abrupt overall, and it could have done a much better explaining how to play. I really appreciate the feedback.
I’ve added a simple “How to Play” screen at the start of the game. Thank you for the helpful feedback!
That's Great!! & You're Welcome :)
The game is bugging on firefox, seems like some of the assets are not appearing and the font is bugging. Tried it on Safari and it went well. Really fun game, I love the take on the theme and special object which makes it feel very different from what we've seen so far. Easy to get in! Congrats!
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback!
The screenshot is a really helpful clue, and I suspect it may be related to UI asset compression or a Firefox-specific rendering issue, so I’ll dig into that.
I really appreciate that you still tried it in Safari, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the theme and special object too!
Love the game aesthetic and upgrades. Fantastic use of the whistle!
Thanks a lot! I’m really glad the whistle worked for you. I love upgrade systems and skill trees, but I tried to keep the upgrades focused on making the whistle more fun and meaningful rather than just adding everything I could.
Different to a lot of the other submissions, I like the concept
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
It means a lot to hear that, especially since the concept was something I spent a lot of time exploring.
I'm really happy you gave it a try.
