Huh! This was a really neat title! I like the story, and how it all takes place in a small but dynamic environment. The game goes on to have a super creepy aesthetic, and actually made me feel quite sad by the end of it 😥 hope the sheep is okay!

Also that intro theme is an absolute banger: very catchy and great choice! Well done on getting this made in only 3 days, and thanks for submitting!

Developer

Glad you thought it’s a neat title!

That was both creepier and stranger than expecting. Subverting expectations that way is definitely a good strategy for this jam. It's not just the overall concept, but the gameplay is kind of built around that notion as well. I wasn't able to get the true end, though I'm not sure if it truly exists.

Developer

There are 2 endings so far, no more no less.

A true ending doesn’t exist

I didn't expect it to get as creepy as it did, but that was honestly the best part. Got both endings!

Developer

Glad you managed to find all the endings so far :)

This was a cool entry. Apart from the SBIG graphics, this actually managed to create an interesting atmosphere of uncertainty. Two endings were a cool touch. Definitely a so ba-a-ahd it's good entry.

I see what you did there…

That was an absolute roller coaster!

First up, the creepy factor of this game was incredible. I really liked the progression of the character models and the map, from normal to malformed - it was very effective. The scrawled text was a very nice touch, and made it *chefs kiss*

Sound was used very well, and really immersed me in the game (As far as you can in a 2d platformer where turtle's talk). It was simple, but worked really well in the way you'd applied it.

Next, the gameplay was very fun and I really enjoyed the process of trying to find the 2nd ending, after getting the false ending. Only thing you could've improved on would probably having a slightly more interesting map, and more endings - but given the limited time and the theme of the jam, the simplicity of the map design did build on the creepy factor very effectively.

I'll add some more stuff to this comment if I can think it up, but overall, very well done - this is an excellent submission and even though you made it in only 3 out of 10 days, it is definitely a strong contender imo!
