How does the game fit the theme?
The phrase "trust no one" made me think of the term "wolf in sheep's clothing" (because it means an untrustworthy person). So I tried to make a game about literal wolves in sheep's clothing.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I didn't make the sfx. I credited the ones that require attribution in the game page, and the rest are from Pixabay. I also didn't make the background image. I got it from Pexels.

I like memory games so I had fun with this one. My wife loved the sheeps!
I would recommend when you start a level flip all the cards for 1.5 seconds and flip them back, so you have to keep an eye and try to match them. I would also recommend on flipping back the card after selected and killing it only after the second try.
Overall great work for a solo game dev!
This game is really fun! However, the background music was quite eerie. 👻
Creative twist to an otherwise simple memory game. I found myself strategically creating islands of 2 so I can figure out which cards were the wolves. That sort of strategizing helped make it more fun for me but not sure if it's enough in terms of gameplay mechanics. I wonder if you weren't planning on expanding the gameplay, maybe you could work on the animations or sound or effects to add more polish to it? Food for thought. Overall it was enjoyable :)
Really interesting concept, I'm very surprised with the type of game you made. At first I thought it was going to be too easy because I saw memory game but it was pretty enjoyable and more than simple memory.
Had a hard time getting the wolf tell in the game, but i was pleasantly surprised by the genre you went for!
The idea with wolves and sheep isn’t bad; it helps my memory work, and that’s good. But I didn’t quite understand how to determine who the wolf is. Otherwise, everything is pretty good.
I dont think I really got the game, but I had fun
This is a surprisingly fun twist on the classic memory game. I enjoyed it a lot, and the upgrades are a nice addition. Good job!
Cool game! I think it could use a simple intro tutorial at the beginning, but overall, it’s a fun memory game with a nice twist.
An intro would have helped a lot, but it's a good submission once you figure out the wolves.
I really enjoyed the game! Love a good old memory game with a twist
There's an interesting concept in here, but I think the way it is right now it's too easy to match sheep to wolves before having enough information to avoid it.
This was a fun twist on a classic game. Great work!
Was a really fun take on a memory game really enjoyed this one!
Interesting take on the theme, and first memory game I've played this jam! While the game could've used more polish, the game loop worked, and was quite enjoyable. I liked the rogue-like elements too with the upgrades.. very on trend with games these days. Nice job!
Really silly game, music is nice, and art is great! Enjoyed this one, keep it up :D
The game was pretty funny, I liked how you took the sheep card approach, made my memory at work here hahaha, the visuals of the cards were so cute, great job !! :D
I like the artwork! The instructions were a tad long and wordy, a visual would be nice. Not sure if I missed it but I’m kind of confused how to win? Was not clear to me that upside down sheep was dead(?) at first. Admittedly I just played it like a memory game and wasn’t sure why I was winning or losing at the end. Interesting concept though!
Cool concept, the ui could see some improvements to me more tailored to your game, but the loop is solid, good job.
Very cute game, simple but fun!
