OMG, I want to hug and protect the sheep. Theme interpretation is on-point and overall mood/feel is great.

I think that the player should always start first in the turn cycle and the gameplay is a little slow. While 5 enemies is a nice challenge maybe start off with one or two and build up?

Overall amazing Jam game, I especially love the two different ally roles of support and attack.

ps. promise me no sheeps were harmed in the making of this game.

The sheep was very cute.

I agree with the above note about reducing initial enemies.

Would be nice if enemies took their turns faster.

Cursor movement and selection could be refined.

What an interesting twist to turn-based combat! I like the mechanic that the shepherd doesn't directly deal damage but is your main source for damage. You can expand more upon this idea!

I fumbled with the controls for a bit. The keyboard movement but clicking with the mouse to confirm everything threw me off a bit. Maybe there was a confirm button on the keyboard, but I didn't find it.

Overall this being made in such a short time is very impressive. Love the music. It really is making me want to fall asleep right now haahah. Very relaxing. Feels good to play something chill after the jam. Art is great!

I really like your art style for this. The blending of 2D sprites with the 3D world reminds me very much of final fantasy tactics. I'm terrible at tactics games like this so I don't have anything to really say about the gameplay. Also good take on the theme.

Fun to play game, nice graphics but I'm confused with controls (I had to select with keyboard and confirm with mouse)

Interesting, but veeeeeery hard to understand how to play at the start.

I had a hard time figuring out the controls and the mechanics, but I do love the presentation.

Relaxing music, and nice concept. The enemies could take faster turns. The art is great too!

Simple idea, but very fun to play, I like it

Really nice art, and Im really impressed by the scope of the entire project, with the different types of sheep! Great work!

Art and animations where nice. Only the wait for the enemy turn to end was a bit long.

Good job on the music, it was pleasing to listen to. I found the pacing of the game to be a bit slow for my taste. Well done

I love turn based game like Disagea! And the idea of fighting sleep demons with sheep is pretty good. Unfortunately waiting for the enemies to take their turn can be annoying and the fact that the enemies goe first (at least when I played) made it so my characters could never move, which is a little frustrating. Also the music cut off after a while, which is a shame because it is quite good.

Overall I liked the idea of the game and think if expanded upon it would be really good.

I loved so much the turn based combat and how the game looked (that 2.5 effect is really cool) I think my only complain is that it takes a lot for the enemies to finish their turn.

(P.S. I want a sheep plushie now)

YOu know, I have sleep problems so your game touch my heart)))

Cool idea for theme, I really liked the art work and the 2.5D graphics. Music fit well with the game, nice work.

Great art and music! Bravo!
