Very trippy little game. It was hard to understand what was going on most of the time with all the platforms and sheep everywhere. Definitely made me feel unstable.

jokes aside, any chance you could post a Linux build? I'd love to give this a try

I love how it reminded me of games I played as a child, the whole experience of seeing flying sheep rush me is something I didn't know I needed to experience until I did!

My only problem was dying quickly but I really think that's more on me being bad :D

Confusing controls but good. I don't really know what else to say than sheep worms....

I LOVED the art and soundtrack on this one! Loved the concept, it feels really trippy and dreamlike. Gameplay wise I had some trouble discerning what's happening but honestly it fits pretty well with the trippy atmosphere of the game, this is an amazing entry!

Respect for using UPBGE! What a trippy game. I think the low FPS deters from the game a bit, but otherwise it was fun! I think the music was a big mood setter

It's a really trippy game, with the visuals and soundtrack, so that gets a bonus on the theming. Though, I had a hard time with the gameplay. It was very confusing, both in terms of what I was supposed to shoot at, and how to navigate the map. I'm still not really sure what boosting actually does, it didn't feel very responsive to me. It's really hard to react to the sheep around you. These things made it really hard to concentrate on what I was actually supposed to do. It works for the theme, but I'm not sure how much I like it in terms of the gameplay.

@alec I just uploaded a Linux build, but have not tested it so it may be buggy. Can you test it out?

It's trippy to say the least. Dunno what was going on, but managed to shoot the red sheeps anyway. Some kind of pause after dying would be great, because I kept going back straight to the game menu after dying when spamming left click.

Congratulations on making it to the LD49 !

I experienced a lot of emotions while playing this game, from sensory overload to panic and fear to a sense of peace and tranquility.

I'm not sure how to critique something this bizarre, so I suppose I won't.

@elmos-minion finally had a chance to try the Linux build, everything worked well for me (on Ubuntu)! Thanks for taking the time to add linux :)

The game was much more relaxing and trippy then I thought it would be haha. Good job!

Visually interesting but challanged my sense of orientation. I did not feel in controll and there were way too many sheepworms to take care of ; ) If you want to continue work on this title, your main focus should be visibility, feedback and balance.

There are a ton of really great ideas here! The entire premise of a survival shooter, jumping from platform to platform is really fascinating! Maybe a 3rd person perspective wouldve worked a little bit better to give some sense of perspective? Otherwise, the visuals were fantastic! Controls were a bit wonky at times, and it was hard to tell what exactly was going on at times - but overall, a great jam submission - especially for trying to create such a complex movement system with different gravitational fields. I cant imagine trying to do something that complex during a jam, impressive! :)

What a crazy, zany game XD I don't think I really understood what was going on the entire time, but heck I had a lot of fun!

I couldn't really figure out the movement, but the overall graphics and shooting was so fun that I still had a good time.

I think I would have chosen a different song to match the craziness of the whole thing, rather than something soothing, but that's just me!

Great Game It Is A Bit Hard Knowing What's Happing And Its A Bit Laggy But Other Than That Good Game

It was really hard for me to figure out how to play the game, or do anything, because performance on my system was pretty bad. Even besides the framerate, I had trouble figuring out what my objective was gameplay-wise. I guess I needed to shoot all the sheep, but with the way everything moved around, it seemed like a largely impossible task. Still, a cool entry, very cool graphics (even if a tad slow :sweat_smile: ) and an intriguing take on the theme.

I gave you my feedback on my stream earlier, but I just wanted to post again saying how excellent the graphics were and I really wish I had a better framerate because it would've looked really cool when smooth.

I was very confused, but I think I've liked it overall :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1171194872?t=01h07m21s
It's just a shame the framerates sometimes dropped a bit... Cool idea!

i think it was a magical place! if it had a little more fps for me and it was in vr i can see myself sleeping to counting sheeps. :smile: but that game is made in blender and that is really awesome i would never have imagened playing a game made in blender engine thats really cool :thumbsup:
