Nice little thing, ending was certainly a twist.
Although the text felt extremely sluggish in both me and my partner's opinions
Jeeeeeeeez. What a way to end a game jam game. Heavy stuff.
The gameplay was really fun and the art was spectacular. I loved the tutorial intro of the wolves - their sprites are so cool.
I maybe would have liked the poetry sections to be a smidge sped up, but maybe I'm just impatient because there are so many game jam games to try. xD
Really good work here!
Thank you!
THE ARTWORK
THE STORY
BRO THIS IS A PIECE OF ART!!! Omg also WHAT is that ending, that wolf.. well... WHAT WHAT WHAT
Omg, honestly for such a simple game this must be one that has really hit me, especially the ending, that was NOT expected, the art as soon as I saw the start screen and the, the everything omg I LOVEEEE your artstyle!!!!
And not to mention the poetry!!
You did so so so well!
Please take a look at my game too c: I did my best drawing though I'm no where near as good and my artstyle is still in WAYYY early development though I'm trying ma best
Honestly what even happened? Is there more to the story??
Thank you! Artstyle was all my teammates doing, glad we got to work on a game together!
Cool game! Thanks for playing my game!
I could see where the game was trying to go with the creepy-adjacent dialogue. The ending didn't quite seem to fit with what gameplay was there, I could see ways you could get there if there were more levels and time. The gameplay was good though, a lot of moments of me with my finger-gun pointed at a sheep going "Sir, you eat some grass right now! You have three seconds!" Which, I will admit also adds to the theme, if the player is counting to see how long they don't eat grass!
That's honestly true we didn't think about that 😂! Maybe we could even add a little countdown in the air, something to think about!
I really enjoyed the rhyming dialogue and I love the name.
I enjoyed this. (10/10 feedback, I know)
Would've been nice if there were a way to speed up the dialogue though
I agree aha, we were very last minute so lots of quality of life things went out the window 🥲
Sneaky Sneaky wolves, i hate shooting normal sheep its so damn sad :(. love this idea very creative
Great game, it's so sad when you shoot a normal sheep and it just makes that adorable sound
A very fun little deduction game, the art was great too. Not sure I understand the ending... but the poetry was fun!
Good idea and execution ! I'm not sure i vibe with the ending though. Anyway well done !
Thank you! I think if we used our time better we definitely would've wanted to develop the narrative more than just that ending for sure
I really enjoyed this game. The art style was beautiful and the narrative fit perfectly
great storytelling! i love the art style too
