Shleep

So vibey, so sleepy, so sheepy. The red light green light baby caught me completely off guard LOL! Also, FMV for the intro? Hell yeah? Was very fun to play, thank you for making it!

this was super fun! excellent music and sound design, the atmosphere of both really locked me in early for the ride. actually i spent the first little bit of the gameplay loop trying to figure out if the pitches of the sheep changed with the chords in the music or if they were just in the same key. at any rate, the different ways the gameplay developed with new mechanics were creative, lots of cool ideas and all part of this specific, relatable narrative lol. it all being one seamless loop really helps too! it felt like nothing was really off-limits here in a whimsical sort of way. really well done!

I hope I won't fall asleep like that — the game is amazing!

THIS IS GREAT! I love how it unfolds so unexpectedly with sweet easter eggs. And suddenly I played for nearly half an hour.
I nearly fell asleep.

Speedrun:

Another amazing jam game, have loved your other stuff. I loved the art style, combining watercolour-y effects for the background with pixel art sprites, especially the dog! I have a border collie and you've captured their mannerisms perfectly! Think I'm going to bed now....

Great game ! Very fun and cosy. All is well-balanced : gameplay, pace, humor... With nice audio and graphism ! A pleasure to play it :)

I never thought I could love a clicker game this much! But this was wonderful. Atmospheric, cozy, fun, full of references! I loved the art, the amazing ambience, the unexpected events, and the cinematic real-life footage.
It’s just an incredible piece of work – thank you so much!

Fell asleep in 21 minutes.
This game is so good, I love the freedom it gives to the player. Simple idea but very rewarding. Cutscenes and events were very cool and made the gameplay always interesting.
ps: I played the exe since the webgl version was a bit buggy for me.

Great game! I didn’t expect the wolves it came as a shock to me, but honestly, it’s a great addition that makes the game more interesting to play. I only wonder how wolves help with sleep… I ran into a problem where I didn’t quite understand that shaved sheep didn’t count. Yeah, the text helped me figure that out, but not instantly anyway, I can only blame myself for that.

I really appreciate that disabling things doesn’t cost anything. It helps a lot when new “rules” are introduced, and you want to make a small rebuild. Also, it’s very cool how the intro scene was recorded, and the music really sets the vibe.

I also want to mention the animation where the dog sits and barks when it's not moving such a cool detail.

For me, the only thing is that the building area feels a bit too restricted. I couldn’t stack stones as close as I wanted, but I totally understand why it was done that way just a personal preference, I guess. And the barking mechanic is cool too it’s fun to use!

Loved the game, great idea about the theme and an awesome execution. Had a lot of fun, well done

Good vibes all around! There's lots of ideas and mechanics that are slowly introduced that caught me off guard in a really fun way. Also, LOVE the visuals and music, they really complement the dream-y theme of the game. Great job to the whole team!

17min 33sec here ! Beautiful game, I love the art, the music and the overall mood. Congrats guys for this one !

Never before been this engaged by an idle game!

Loved it, such a great take off the theme, the real time cut scenes was hilarious and the sheep was gorgeous to count - Squirtle making them cool was a nice touch!
Loved it great job :D

This is such a cozy dreamscape! Everything goes together so well to create a peaceful yet strange mood that really feels sleepy. The art is so fun with character to each creature, has such a pretty landscape to complement it, and the music was such a chilled bop that I could quite happily fall asleep to... if I wasn't counting so many sheep! The overall loop was satisfying to watch too, and having the collie as a direct way to interact with the sheep is super cute and a nice addition. Had a great time playing this overall!

I love your interpretation of the theme, what an incredible idea... plus I love idle games... the pixel graphics are delicious... it's magnificent... a great game

17m and 13 sec to fall asleep, got weird with that baby. Really enjoyed this, love an incremental game and the pacing of this was great. Got a little slow on web with 700 sheep on the screen, but wasn't too bad. Great entry!!!!

Amazing game. The pixel art, the sound design, the writing... Excellent!

Tremendous. Love the jam game, love all your work

You guys did a great job with this incremental - I love the sheep fashion! Took me just over 20 mins to complete. I only found it a little hard to place down buildings while there was tons of sheep around.

Gorgeous game!

Loved how the addition of the guard dog helped keep the game from just being a regular incremental game!
Only complaint: somehow lost the guard dog button before I could buy any guard dogs. Still, game went on fine without them (wolves only appeared one more time after, so I had to be an active doggo).
Also, great to find another "Depth = deep sleep" interpretation out there!

Got it in 19 minutes! Awesome graphics!

Really nice game, well done! The baby was a little weird, but the rest was amazing!

Great and calm(??) incremental game! The earthquake and baby were very funny, and I love how you kept bringing in new mechanics. Great job!

Cannot find a single bad thing to say about this game! It's a really lovely interpretation of the theme, there's a super fun and playful energy to the whole thing that just makes it irresistibly charming. The sheep and the dog graphics are incredibly cute, music's really chill and totally fits. Just the right length for a jam game as well.

Glorious!

sorry, i went to sleep while playing your game

@tero-pulkkinen mission accomplished!

Wow! Nice way to carry a concept to the extreme. How did you not hit a performance limit (I think I would have hit one with 680 sheep with Godot). Very cool and impressive!

Aaaaaa, I miscounted a few sheep((( The wolves got them((( Super cool atmosphere and a fantastic color palette! The intro is top-notch)))

Wow. One of the best game jam games I’ve ever played in a gamejam. It’s so interesting, so unique, so cool, so charming, so cute, so awesome, so fun, there’s a good chance you guys could win the whole thing. If I had to force myself to criticize something, I’d say the wolves feel a bit out of place in the otherwise calm and wonderful atmosphere. They kind of pull you back into the "fighting enemies in a video game" mindset, even thought they fit the sheep farm theme really well, making the setting feel more complete. Also, the UI can be a bit vague and doesn’t stand out much, but in a way, that also adds to the game’s wonderful atmosphere. But those are just nitpicks. The game is wonderful. actually, more than wonderful. Great job!

Loved playing this game! Great what you have accomplished as a team in such short time!

This was the best game on this Ludum Dare to this point that I played :3

I can go to sleep now, thanks for the game, that was pretty cool !

An idle game with an underlying narrative, changing rules and real life scenes intertwined? What? This is probably one of the most innovative games I've played this jam. Also, pretty relatable how the main character just overcomplicates things so much LOL

Special shoutout to the artist. The little sheep and dogs are so cuteeee.

Lovely, relaxing idle game and super polished presentation as usual. The baby made me jump a bit and I was half expecting to cut to another real life segment (nice touch btw) with a crying baby. Manage to fall a sleep in 17 minutes.

Loved the atmosphere until the wolves and the baby. These pulled me out of the chill I was having with this game. Other than that, a really solid entry

I became a fan of yours after Donut Park Here, but goodness, this is another level of awesome. Now I'm gonna gamify falling asleep, oh no 😅 I LOVE idle/incremental games, so this was right up my alley, and goodness THE BABY LOLOL

This was a wild ride, and I loved it. Easily one of my favorite Ludum Dare entries so far 🥳

I'm not crazy about clickers, but something with the aesthetics and presentation did enough to get me and my friends to reach the end. Kudos to the team!!

Check out our VOD here.

This is amazing! It's a very exciting game! tell me that you will make it for mobile devices?

Best idler I have seen on this jam. Great job! Awesome idea and performance!

Jesus Christ, that's one of the best on LD57. How did u come up with that idea? It's just genious. Sure it feels like clicker, but so smartly made. Thank u for that game, now I can go sleep)

Really fun and polished game. I love how intuitive everything felt and the dialog really guided my playing.

Your last game was great, but this is even better. Extremely well executed!

Very fun and calm game. Thank you!

Played this for WAY longer than I should have with all the other games I need to rate! :D My kids also loved this and got to 159,000 sheep counted before the frame rate and audio tanked :D Lovely entry, nice work, ton of heart and one I will remember. Well done all!

I would write a detailed review, but I want to sleep so much... I give silent 5 stars and good night's sleep to the creators. 1, 2, 3...

:) Such good doggos. Such good sheep. Very cute concept, and well executed! I was very confused about what was going on when the baby landed, and when I hit a million--I didn't want to disintegrate all my sheep against the edges of the screen! I carefully grouped them up into the middle! But nothing game breaking. Very cool game!

Perfect 5/5 on every category for me, easily one of if not the best game I've played here. I was about to say the game became stale when the mission was to count to a million, but you managed to completely surprise me a few moments later.

Amazing game

Not sure what else I can add, really a perfect experience :)

What a great jam game, it just kept adding new things at the perfect pace to keep you entertained and wanting to continue playing. I really appreciate the mixing of actual footage, specially the earth quake part and the baby near the end was very funny.

Unfortunately it crashed (right at the end? When it said "I should think smaller") but I had a blast. The graphics are so gorgeous, but that is to be expected from you guys! Well done :trophy:

Such a nice jam game, 5/5!!!!!!

You've done an excellent job, and the result is really good! Everything is very polished — I simply have nothing to add. Everything is perfect, and it's a complete experience.
Even the doll that misleads is perceived well and fits organically into the game. Perhaps you could add a few more stones and occasionally destroy them for additional variety. It would also be interesting to move objects using nightmares or other sudden events.

Really beautiful game, super fun and creatve with a really stunning visual style. Nice work.

Incredible work, in every sense. Fun gameplay - even for a (pseudo) idle game, beautiful graphics, sense of humor... Awesome.

The sheer amount of interesting ideas is really inspiring!
Also, I am really impressed by all the vfx! Is there any chance one could take a look at the source code? :D

OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG it was soooooooooo gooooooooood! but sadly it kept resetting and saying it took too much memory. Other than that it was soooo sigma skibidi Ohio rizzler fanum tax dubayou

I loved this, it hit all my little happy points. I found the video cutscenes to be a really nice addition. It's not often I see those in a game (let alone an LD game). Every new thing that was added to the gameplay as time went on was a welcome change. At first the wolves were daunting, but the guard dogs kept my sheep safe :)

Very cool entry here, from the very start with an opening movie ^^ Visuals and music were top notch, my self lack of motivation for a clicker game was well compensated by the dog's barks. I love this pixel dog. All visuals, colors, shaders animations etc are perfect awesome work with that, that all blends perfectly ; my only complain could be the font for updates and stuff very small but who cares that detail XD Another downside is my will to procreate is also put in perspective but that was some very funny surprises I didn't expect from there. I also enjoyed the counter that becomes quite crazy and numbers making no sense after a while. Nonsense making sense here. Pretty cool.
Very cute game, looks like a great team effort.
Good job !

I'm so into this game, and it rarely happens. A very small entry threshold, pleasant mechanics, constantly (well, almost) new content, interesting ideas - there was a lot of fun in this game. I don't even have a clue what I didn't like or what else to add, which means you've done a very fundamental job. It's super cool, keep it up!

If only it was that easy to fall asleep XD Awesome game as usual, but also quite different that usual :) The pixel art is great, music is fantastic and the visual effects add a lot to the dream-like aesthetic. I have few... hmmm... questions... about one part, but will leave them be. What an idea for a game!

i really loved this, i think id probably play it even if it wasnt a jam game

IT WAS WONDERFUL!
