A great attempt for the people in your team that you say haven't partaken in a game jam before. The gameplay loop is here, the art and music are here, atmosphere is great. The gameplay's difficulty can use tuning. I'd sometimes go wandering to look for sheep & there wouldn't be any. Staying to defend the building is not so viable, because sheep don't tend to come close & the enemies damage me more than I can hit them anyway. This experience reminded me of the night missions in Pikmin 4.

The sfx were creepy and disorienting on headphones. But I found the game itself a little too disorienting, and had trouble navigating the map. The vibe of exploring the darkness with those sounds was a worthwhile experience in of itself though!
This is so amazingggg, the polish and music ohh myy , and what a unique idea , well doneee
Very cute game! Loved the art and audio :3 Explored quite a bit outside the castle and attacked a lot of monsters, after a while I figured out that sheep moved the timer! It felt like I always had to trade damage while defending though? Like I had to take some before I could damage them? Not sure if that was intentional but it felt odd, other than that, great game!! :)
Really beautiful art and a lovely choice of music. Exploration was fun, but I struggled with the combat.
Cool game, I have no idea how to get all 60 sheep though
i like the graphic! really cool! also the idea of the rug is nice! good job!
if you want you can rate my game, i rated your's :)
The story concept was nice and the sound effects where really clear and useful. It did feel almost impossible to hit the enemy without getting punished though.
I like the "story" setup and the idea of the sheep progressing time! Nice gameplay too, I'm pretty bad at it lol.
The game is cool, I especially love the sound effects, they are sooooo satisfying. Great job :]
the theme is great, and the character art is very charming. The combat was a little clunky for my tastes - could do with some knockback on the enemies when you hit them, and more consistent numbers. Otherwise, cute game!
Really like the art direction and especially the main character animation! Its got a great creepy vibe to it.
I was getting hurt but don't know why D: as it some assets didn't load in
