How does the game fit the theme?
All the sheep look identical, so how could you possibly tell them apart? Pick up on the subtle differences, and trust no sheep…you’ve got this! You get 3 tries to find the wolf.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Game code/design all created/written during jam. Adapted open-source flocking algorithm and couple of small shaders, used 3D models from various licensable packs and Kenney for UI theme, full credits of all assets used in game title screen.

Very good. The first game in the jam I've played that I've wanted to re-play.
Focused, simple concept delivered well. Looks decent, sounds decent, easy to understand, increasingly fun once you learn what the clues are. Good puns. Great work.
Thanks so much for playing and your feedback! We had a great time putting it together. I've definitely been learning to try and stick to simpler concepts to increase chances of at least getting a game submitted, that's half the battle!
Pretty clean. If you wait long enough the wolf's behavior becomes more obvious. I like it as a game idea!
very good game and solid concept. simple and intuitive good job
Really good game!
I think it has the potential to be a great rage game. Loved the models, especially the wolf.
Good submission!
I'm a sucker for puns so this enamored me quickly! I think the sound design is a little bit intense for what is otherwise a calming and chill game, but maybe the arcadey overwhelming vibe was more what you were shooting for in which case I can totally respect it. The reveal of the wolf and the way the camera zooms into it is really slapstick and cute, big fan! One thing that might've been nice was some color variation from sheep to sheep, so it's easier to pick one sheep and properly focus on it for a bit, and then mark that sheep in your head as being one of the normal ones haha. Fun game!
Thanks! Yeah, we've been talking about maybe a way to spray paint/color the sheep for post-jam. We've got a few other ideas that we've got to start tracking. 😅
I like the blocky design of the sheep and wolf, I found it to be a pleasant game. It reminded me of a game I just played on Steam called Woolly so I'm biased towards your game haha
Nice game, especially to calm down for a moment. But you should remove the quit button from the web version, because the game just freezes when you click on it, because there isn't technically an app that can be quit.
I like how the game naturally gets hard the more yo mess up. The sheep wool makes it hard to tell if they are avoiding other sheep or just kinda stuck. Not baaad. not baaaaad at all
OMG than was soo funny 😅 i like it level 3 it was hard for me but game is fun nice !
Good game please rate my game
Cute little game! I like that the wool stays so it's hard tell the distance between the sheep the longer you play. It would be good to have a timer or something so that you've got pressure to guess to make it more challenging! Was a fun game regardless though :)
This is so cute! I love the 3D graphicsand the UI is really polished. It's pretty challenging to pay attention to all the sheep, but I think I'm getting it!
Hm, I wasn't able to tell the wolf apart by speed, but I've noticed the sheep always start to keep social distance away from it after some time. XD Fun little concept!
I was so baaad on my first try haha!
Funny and original idea, well done!
New high score! 😅 Level 15 with 6 baaad guesses only.
I like this take on the theme! I wish there were more ways to tell who is the wolf.
Thanks! It's a bit subtle now, but if you look carefully you start to sort it out, then it gets a bit easier. We definitely have a few ideas for some extra things to add in making the wolf more distinctive for earlier levels for post-jam.
Very fun silly game! High score of 9 and I really don't think I can get any further :(
I might come back to try get more!
I really like this one if it was a bit more fleshed out with more conditions or levels or something I can see me playing this on my phone when I have free time alot! Its also the first game Ive seen using a flock algorithm in gameplay rather then just as birds in the background or something. Its a really solid base
Thanks, yeah definitely can see trying to tweak this a bit more after the jam. I almost abandoned the flock algorithm a couple of times, I had no idea if the game idea was going to work until we actually had it all running together late in the week. I had forgotten I had knobs to limit the velocity of the sheep and they were zooming at first which made it not sheep-like and non-functional. We lucked out and it's been fun to see the emergent behavior being used like this for the gameplay.
I had worked into the algorithm the potential for multiple wolves to find, but didn't test it nor had time to implement how that'd work. So, a few areas to explore later. Thanks!
Welp, TIL I've been mispronouncing 'ewe' my whole life. Anyway, I really enjoyed the ewe puns, and the graphics and sound design are solid
Yeah, my partner came up with this pun for the title and it was brilliant. Thanks for playing! 🐑🐺
pretty creative idea, i enjoyed it! I found all of the wolves, a couple 3-stars. i'd love to see this expanded in different situations then just a sheep pen. On the results part, it'd be nice if clicking skipped the animation as it feels slow after going through it a few times.
Yeah, I need to speed up the sound effects that play to get the timing quicker. I re-used this animation from our last jam's code 😅. What level did you make it to? I think 11 is still the record, until I see a screenshot otherwise!
oh i think i got to 6 or 7, i thought it was the last level, but perhaps it was just game over haha
