Sheep Deeper - not so easy way to count the sheep before sleep. A game which tests your working memory.
The game requires remembering a sequence of spoken colors and a colors of sheep passing, and identifying when sheep or sound matches the one that appeared N steps earlier.
You can use both keyboard arrows and mouse cursor to choose the options on the screen.
1-back: You click 'color match' when the previous sheep has the same color as the current one. Similarly, you have a match if the audio is the same as previous audio. - * * note that, visual and sound is completely separate tracking * *
2-back: You need to remember 2 steps earlier and click if the sheep color is the same as the sheep passes two earlier. Same goes for audio.
So there are two types of mistakes; not pressing when you should have and pressing when you should not have. As you press correctly, you go into a deeper sleep, enjoy!
Ooo that seems nice. I'll play again when I have more time Some more explanation, or a tutorial at the beggining would be nice. It was a lot of try and error to figure out the game Edit: Ok I get it now. It's hard
It took a while to get it, but it was still challenging. I think a tutorial or how to play screen would help. Overall interesting concept and cute art.
After a few goes (I think?) I got it. It really is an interesting puzzle game and definitely unique for this event. Really liked the watercolour art work too, nice job.
Very interesting take on the theme! The link to the article was good for explaining how it worked, but I think it would have really rounded things out if it was demonstrated visually with some in-game tutorial/examples. Nice work, regardless :)
This game drove us all insane, as you'll probably see in the VOD. Our working memory is......definitely something wanting. 😅 I think a more clear tutorial in-game would have gone a long way, but we eventually figured it out!
...Didn't help us and our melting brains though... 😛
Really clever! 😍 I've heard about this before, great idea to make a game out of it. I got a bit confused sometimes when I would click and it said correct but then before it had given me a new sheep or audio clip it suddenly said missed, is that a bug? 😟 Other than that this was fun, once I figured out my various misunderstandings of the description and stopped trying to match audio to visuals 😅 High score on innovation from me!
