Nice game, great graphics. Good attention to mood.
Cute art :D It's really hard to make the sheeps especially because we can't use both hands to interact (hold what we are making and take out the sheep ready in the oven). My sheeps were always getting burned because it got ready too fast and I was on the other side of the cloud. I end up just waiting for my sheeps to be ready by the side of the oven to finally get something done. So it's really hard... but it's fun :D I play his kind of games a lot on mobile. It would be very good on a touchscreen. Suggestion: Maybe for the future, make an easier beginning... it gives us more time to get the pacing. Overall i't a good game.
Thanks for playing! Totally agree. Balance always suffers in a game jam game, but those are good insights, thank you
Really fun game!

it's moody but the timing is pretty challenging.
Good atmosphere
Good graphics
I have to say it's a pity that your game is under 20 rating. you deserve your game to be known.
Kind of fun! Played with a friend and got to 50 points before we tired of it since it didn't seem like it was getting faster, we kept on top of all the orders once we got a nice rhythm going.

It was quite difficult to figure out what was going on at first. The colors were especially confusing as the "blue" dye looked purple and the "pink" dye was easy to confuse with white (took us a few minutes to figure out that white means no dye...in hindsight, that was a "d'uh" moment).
The movement speed is quite slow which made things much more slow-paced than a game such as Overcooked, so once we both understood how to actually play the game, it wasn't really very challenging or frantic. It was kind of peaceful actually which maybe (?) was what you were going for? So it was a nice mood, but gameplay-wise it didn't end up being very interesting.
In the end the ideal strategy most of the time was to have one person focus on dying cotton and putting it in the oven and the other person to deliver all of the completed sheep. It was nice to have defined roles, but I think part of what makes this sort of game fun is having the roles shift around dynamically. Overcooked does this quite nicely with their level and mechanic designs, forcing players to adapt to multiple roles for maximum efficiency. You may want to think about some of their designs and see if you want to take a page out of their book.
It's hard, but also fair at the same time. With great timing you can play this game really well, sadly I don't seem to have that. Graphics and general atmosphere is soothing, while the actual game can be quite busy. Instead of making a game about sacrifice, you let the mechanics do the talking, which is a really nice change as well. Nice polish in general, so really well done!
This is extremely polished. The graphics are really impressive, and the music is really nice. My only suggestion is maybe try to tweak the randomizer a little bit. There were times where I would get three or four of the same shape requested at once, and the ovens just couldn't keep up. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
