love it, such a clever idea! the naturally escalating difficulty is really neat. I played twice, once using only easy doors the other using only hard doors.

Cruel and cute!

The sheep are so cute! I didn't want to kill any of them. 

You could call me a bit of a bleating heart. 

Very fun concept! 

As for critiques, the saw blade seemed to have a weird hitbox at times, and I think it would add to the gameplay if there was also  a "repel" mode as well as the attract function to the cursor.

Great work, I liked the laser grid mechanic. It was interesting having to choose between easy and hard difficulty.

Wow!! How does this not have more ratings!? Awesome job really, the models and general polish were absolutely amazing. I wish there was even more to play- great submission :)

Love the art, love the idea, not a big fan of the music choice, could be more casual. But still, it's a pretty good game!

Love the whole idea of the game, it's so unique and has its own identity. The music and art are also great and the movement is well done.

The goal of 100 sheep is pretty low because in just two easy mode rooms i already had over 120 sheep and beat the game super quickly and easily. Making it a higher goal and making the challenge increase overtime is the biggest feedback I can give. Since in the last easy room I did, there was just a single rotating blade moving at the bottom of the screen and there was zero challenge.
Also when i beat the game and entered the door on the left to replay it, I couldn't get through the next door for some reason.
Lastly i think when a rotating blade is about to spawn, letting us know the direction it's about to move in would be a great help.

But yeah the game has a great art style, is super intuitive and simple to understand, and has a lot of potential for improvement!

Wow this game is really great! The idea is super simple, and doubling your sheep is nicely balanced, since sheep take up more space. This could be fleshed out with more obstacles, levels, and maybe abilities, but it’s really solid as is. Nice entry!

Submitted(+1)

The sheeps are so cute I don't want to sacrify them lol

The game was very fun I think it has good potential it needs more minigames!

Submitted(+1)

I love the idea and gameplay. It was very smooth and fun to play. PS. Great Music! Nice Job!

Kudos to the team: Colin Savenberg (Programming/Technical Art), Augustin Meurice (Programming), Frédéric Frenot (Modeling/Texturing/Lighting), Déborah Maurel (3D Animation/Sound Design), and Pierre-Emmanuel Macé (Music). The graphics, art, and music are superb. The animation is wonderful, and the controls are incredibly smooth.

I kept choosing the "Hard" room and ended up in a situation where I had no lasers left and only two blades. I guess the game wasn't designed for someone to enter a room with 50+ sheep and leave with only four—HAHA.

Developer

Thank you very much!

It’s rare for someone to take an interest in all the developers who contributed to the project, so thanks again!
Yes, the randomisation system isn’t working very well we’re planning to overhaul it for a post-game-jam version.
It’s definitely not right for a difficult room to sometimes have so few weapons.

This reminds me a lot of Pikmin! What I really appreciate about this game is how simply it communicates to the player the concept of the game. You didn’t really need a tutorial because the starting screen and the first level helped communicate the idea without the use of any text or arrows.

I would love to see some more obstacles, like walls that the sheep can get stuck on. That would make things a lot harder and you’ll have to figure out how to deal with stragglers.

Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!


I hadn’t made the connection with Pikmin, but you’re right, there are definitely some similarities. The main reference for the sheep mechanic was DocGeraud’s Itch.io game Sauve mouton, while Disc Room was another big inspiration.


As for the obstacles, we had actually thought about adding them at the start, but decided against it because they would have required a lot of balancing, and we didn’t have the time.
But now that we have all the time in the world, I think they’re definitely worth revisiting!

the game is very cool and has a lot of potential. I just want to say that I found the low difficulty way to easy and the hard difficulty way to hard, so maybe it would have been great a medium difficulty. but other then that it's great

Developer

Thanks for playing!

We’re planning to give the game another overhaul after the game jam.

I don’t think we’ll be adding a medium-difficulty room. The idea is for the easy room to give fewer sheep but be safer, while the difficult room gives you many more sheep but comes with greater risks.

To fix the current balance issue, we’ll probably reduce the multiplier in the easy room so that you don’t come out with as many sheep.

On top of that, we plan to gradually increase the difficulty of the rooms the more you complete in a run, making the choice of which room to take more strategic

Submitted(+2)

Very well done to everyone who worked on this game!
What a novel and creative experience!

I really love the art style here, from the models to the animations and the cover art, it's all very cute (until they get slaughtered lol) and cohesive and everything just works so damn well.

The design is great, a bit bare at the moment but I can see the vision for the game here.
This has a lot of potential and is well made, you all should be proud

No notes! Love it!

Developer

I'm glad you like the project.

Simple but fun game, I can see this being expanded in lots of ways! Reminded me of Disc Room

Developer

Thank you, this is our most important reference ^^

Really well put together game. The only thing I had trouble with was the simple difficulty being to hard some times. I retried the simple difficulty after trying the hard difficulty and then it actually became simple. It also became way to easy to do the simple difficulty after to the point that I beat the game pretty quickly. Art style is amazing, cuteness with a mix of gore is always a funny and sometimes fun mix. I  feel bad for the all the sheep I had to sacrifice and kind of wish they made me feel even worst for doing so. But overall really good job. Should consider maybe a full release!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!
Yes, a more polished version is on the way!
It’ll feature rebalancing, a revamp of the sound design and, above all, more juice!!!

Submitted(+2)

I like the boid sheep. Wish it required more sheep to make it through though. I won after playing two hard rounds.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yes, the balance isn’t quite right that’s one of the things we’ll be fixing in the next version

Amazing, love everything about this game. Had a blast playing it!
