I love the punny title, haha!
Very charming short little experience. I wish there was some kind of ending screen or something maybe where we see the sheep finally sleep. But I loved the layers of increasing dreamy weirdness when the music changes and all the different sheep (rainbow sheep was my favourite!).

I enjoyed the player character changing suddenly while off-screen.

The concept is interesting. I'd love to see this sort of psychedelic experience more polished though. The clunky platforming and stiff interactions detracted from what was otherwise an enticing and strange journey.

Hahaha this was so weird and fun. Cool experience. Would love to have tighter controls, and higher "stakes" in the more action-y parts. But very fun and funnny otherwise!

Decent game, you should tweak the controls a bit though. Keep up the good work!

Hey! Great work on your game! I played the whole thing and it gave me a big smile :) My favorite part is how much imagination you put into it. My feedback is, try to figure out why there is a little gap in your tiles, that would help the world feel more solid. Nice game!

Great idea overall -- I love your creativity and the goofy sheep! The dream world's physics is a little different from the real world's but maybe that's what you were going for. The enemies have room to be a little more difficult. Especially the boss.

I really enjoyed the sheep :sheep: changing as you got deeper. A weird almost trippy experience! I think it could be abit more challenging however its still a nice little entry that has delightfull theme to it.

Ive also had the issue with gaps in my tileset before too! Its a weird unity quirk. Hopefully this might fix it ?

Interesting and fun concept of improvement of gameplay! Reminds me of Evoland game. Pretty nice and relaxing atmosphere. Funny madness.

Some remark: game contains some graphical and physical glitches with spaces between tiles, collision polygons and enemies stuck in the walls. Regardless, the result is a sweet and complete short game.

Good entry!
