Graphics and theme are superb! Clever name and good text presentation. But gameplay lacks of fun, unfortunatelly.

THe art is beautifull and music is soothing! Very relaxing game, great entry

Art is definitely the highlight, but the music is equally pleasing. It was fun walk around collecting souls as the sound effects were satisfying. Making a control like dash could make the gameplay more engaging, as players would be able to strategically dash between sheeps. Overall, well done!

Unbelievable impressive graphics, good music rhythm, but the level difficulty is a bit torturous.

Super cool artwork! And some nice audio as well! I agree on some comments above, the gameplay is lacking, but a commendable game nonetheless.

The graphics for this game so absolutely insane!! The start page art, to the the sprites and animation of the aura are all absolutely gorgeous. I also love the poems for the description and in game when you lose. The fact that even the game description was beautifully artistic was quite lovely.

I really like the concept of the game and how it relates to the theme of the jam, but the gameplay was a little bit lacking. It's almost too difficult where once there are certain amount of sheep dying, it's really difficult to get to all of them, so you just die.

Overall, though I really liked this game. Great job!

The art is beautiful and the commitment to theming is great (Quell sound and Rouse sound is a nice touch). It's challenging to get to the sheep on time, I agree with the above comment that I would love to see a dash skill!

Thank you everyone for your kind words :slight_smile:

@jackypark9852 dash is a really cool idea! We didn't think about it

Cute game. Nice art style. Like Vampire Survivor)) GJ!

the art for this game is *gorgeous*! i thought the concept was also interesting and unique. i agree that something like dash or being able to more significantly slow down the time by which spirits disappear would've been helpful; it became impossible to manage all the spirits pretty quickly. otherwise, this was a cool game, congrats!

Love the main character design and overall art. Perfect game for chill a bit, but I kinda wish you had more things to do while waiting the wolf to do their job.

Great game. The music and artsyle made it feel very calming despite the subject matter. Could maybe have had a bit more variation

Such an amazing game! ^_^ The art direction is so beautiful and all elements support each other. Bonus points for the poetry. Well done everyone

Lovely, i really like the idea, but i have 2 things i would change, controls being on wsad/arrow keys would work better imo, and the difficulty curve starts of too hard, like in the very start there are multiple wolfs and sheep, it's impossible to get from one map end to the other this quick in the start, so it's pretty hard to harvest all the souls
