I adore this game. For such a simple premise, I had a great time with it. I especially liked the secret New Game+. Amazing job!

I adore this game. For such a simple premise, I had a great time with it. I especially liked the secret New Game+. Amazing job!
The panic I felt when I realized how slow the sheep was...
Love how the button presses give visual feedback on the controls screen. Pico seems like fun to develop with. Great job!
Edit: whoops was not supposed to be a reply. my b
This reminds me of a game from my childhood (in graphics/style, not concept obviously haha) but I can't remember which. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going for. I DID have fun bowling sheep!
didn't quite understand the purpose of what i was doing. But the minute I saw i was a sheep it was like "oh f**k!" Its a fun one. fair play!
Very cool style, plays well! Fun little game, well done.
I love the twist on the second part, such a great idea!
Ye, twist in the second part is worth spending some time on this game. Nice experience, because as you noticed yourself, it works nice.
cool satanic sheep game
Lovely art and cool to see other pico-8 games!
That was interesting. The shock I got once the twist came. Poor sheep.
Cool art and an interesting game.
Like how you become a sheep and see it from their perspective. Nice job.
I love the "Evil Escapes" screen. Really nice work on the art! PICO8 games are always a pleasant surprise.
Interesting game, loved the design:)
Never thought I would have so much fun sacrificing sheep....
Fun and short. Lovely artstyle too!
my favourite game I played so far. Awesome!
Really cool! You have no idea how trippy it is, trying to run off screen, and suddenly, you end up running back to the summon circle. The sheep twist was excellent, too!
Great and simple art-style, I love how the sheep slide when you throw them!
Ba Ba
Cool little concept. Not clear if there's an end game? Loved the sound FX and super intuitive controls! Love seeing other games made with Pico8!
Funny twist
Beautiful game and nice crunchy effects! Was very entertaining to experience the first two loops. However, I'm not certain if I am missing something or if it just keeps looping. Nonetheless it was a fun experience. Nice work!
Love the art style, that pixelated eye opening effect is super cool!
Nicely done, I like the SFX and art style, wrapping around when wondering around works seamlessly as well.
Cute little game that controls very nicely. I loved the twist that comes!
Lovely controls and art. Unfortunately I didn't really understand what was going on and why I had to sacrifice sheep.
Cool little pico8 game, not sure why I was sacrificing sheep. I was pleasantly surprised to be playing as a sheep when I restart the game.
Great experience! The game is very well done and all aspects of the game are very, very well packaged.
Maybe a little more music is missing. For my taste, I prefer these experience-type games to have background music or specific SFX to keep me tense.
But come on, I can only congratulate you on this outstanding game!
Pretty cool concept, loved the art!
A lovely game with charming graphics and a nice mood.
It's a trap. That was my thought. It was like obvious what will happen but I thought, nah, it should not happen. In the end it did happen. Fuck.
Gotta love Pico8 <3 The new game +, I thought I was in another player game, I loved the idea !
I love the graphics and game feel : )
And that twist at the end killed me!
Yay, a Pico8 game! The storytelling along the bottom really adds to the ambiance. The animation and visual feedback are really nice. Of course like you said I'm not really getting how the theme ties into it but regardless it's a nice little game.
PS: Did you opt out of ratings? It's not letting me rate your game. I think it might need to go in the 'Extra' category if you don't want people to rate it?
Fun, silly, and enjoyable. Great work!
so let's summon the good ol demon hell thing
Thanks everyone for playing! Didn't think so many would try it out! :heart_eyes:
@ruthiepee Thanks for playing and giving feedback! Yea, I kinda scrapped the theme. Planned for it in the beginning but in the end it wouldn't add anything to it, so I didn't add it in. Yes I did opt out of ratings, since I want to enjoy the jam more casually... but still in compo since I did it in time & solo etc. :D
The embed here seems broken for me, I can't play it on either Firefox or Chrome. Do you by any chance have some other place to host it?
Nice! I'm glad you got the embed feature working, I couldn't figure it out for my pico8 game.
I loved the little mini game after the end! Super funny
The embed broke for me, but worked after refreshing - seems finicky. The twist was great.
Not sure I understood the intent… but graphics are nices :)
Did you do something to have you pico game playable in here? For me it does not so I had to upload to itch.io.
Very cute game! Loved the little flavor text, especially when playing as the sheep. The SFX were also nice and powerful. Very charming. Great job!
@indigo Sure, I'll upload it to the pico-8 forum. Try [this](https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=49613) (sould also work for mobile there).
Serves me right for sacrificing all my sheep buddies.
@kory you have to `EXPORT INDEX.HTML` and then ZIP both files with `zip mygame.zip index.*`
The upload part itself is a little fragile. You might need to upload a couple of times
@thesnide thanks! I'll have to try it out. I think I zipped the folder instead of the contents? Not sure, I'll have to fiddle with it a bit
@jonathan-holm Thank you, that worked fine! It also taught me that the embed also works on ldjam.com... if I disable the adblocker. Heh.
As for the game itself, I don't have anything to add to what everyone else already said. Very cute. Best sheep sacrifice simulator I ever played. Baaah
i liked to sacrifice the sheep. only downside is i become sheep... good job
@zykino Thx! Check the comment from @thesnide. **It is the way**. Indeed I had to upload twice for it to work. Might be easier to just select the files and ZIP manually. :D
lol this is mental, I love it
Not sure what exactly is "every 10 seconds" in this game... Beautiful art though, game feels polished.
What a story!
feels and looks great, definitely like it. it seems like the raiting button isnt there for me, shame if you have removed it from ratings
Really cool graphics! I also like the movement and throwing! Very speedrunable!
Funny premise! I also through the eye shutting vfx was very cool.
Love the Pico-8 idea! But I just love pixels in general. How could you go wrong? ^^
It's the second game I see sheeps hahahaha. Looks very nice with that pixelart I love it
Love the twist! Would've been really strong contender if the 10 second darklord feature is included!
absoloutely great game in here. from the transition, the animation, the style, the art. I love how the eye blinks in, and for some reason i love looking at the character just holding the sheep above its head. its great how you turn into the sheep and get thrown in but it might be funny if your able to run away. anyways probably the best game so far
Cute game with very polished graphics and audio! Its too bad that you didn't have time to integrate the theme, but still fun nonetheless.
Not baaaaad! Where's the rating buttons?
Haha loved the twist! Awesome idea!
Really neat game, I like the art style and the plot twist!
Nice graphics, sounds and the feel of the movement. Kind of short and missing a point as the 10 sec feature was left out.
Love the graphics!
This game surprised the heck outta me. Addicting mechanic (sheep curling is a thing now) and great transitions.
I love this concept but I'm not sure if/how you're supposed to win
Very cool idea, love the twist
The game is cool, it's really simple but the graphics look really nice and the twist ending is funny.
Very fun little short experience! Really reminds me of what I try to do when I enter these sorts of jams. (cough, though a lot better in execution.)
Only negative since I want to say something constructive, was that I didn't quite understand that the first sheep I grabbed started hovering. Maybe something can be done with the blob shadow to make that fact clearer? And the sound effects was a bit hard on the ear.
Other than that, brilliant!
I was terrified when the "myself" started coming towards me after killing all the sheeps :D Very nice short experience/experiment :D
Really enjoyed this. I wish there was a other options instead of sacrificing the sheep. I was definitely terrified as one of the sheep and I wish it was easier to escape the man. Awesome graphics too!
I like the twist at the end
This cracked me up lol. In the second phase, I managed to escape! I could walk around the title card then lol.
Well done, fellow pico-8er.
took a while to figure out to press x other than that a fun little xperince
Fun and quite polish! Nothing like having a good satanic sheep time!
Nice graphics!
Cool Twist!
It has sheep 10/10
a cool minigame! I also like that you cannot escape the place and always come back to the circle
i tried to run as a sheep as far as i can.. but still i was sacrificed
cool little game :D i love how it looks and plays actually
A wierd expierience that i loved
omg this has SUCH a good aesthetic! I love the eyeball transition
poor little sheepies..... :'( LOVE this game... especially love all the smooth visual effects
Great game!
This game says a lot about our society...
hahahaa nice game... your aunt will appreciate it. hahahah
that eye opening animation is awesome!
I can't rate your game :( I liked being a sheep. Nice twist.
Great art but I'm a bit confused
I liked the swapping of roles, and tossing sheep was pretty fun. Nice work!
A simple yet dark game!
i like this game. so deep and so evil.
Wish I could rate but I will say. Simple, fun, and the twist! Well done!
Haha, that was fun. I loved throwing the sheep and turning into a sheep myself after was pretty funny. The eye transition was very nice.
It would be great (and more cute) if I could throw the man when I was a sheep. Great pixel graphics.
I love how cute this issss, the looping map is a great touch you can't escape
Great humor for sacrificing sheeps :)
Whoa. I love the twist.
This is a mind fuck
Wow, what an amazing game!!
Pico Cad 8 is sure an amazing engine
Move over Cult of the Lamb, it's time for... this! Such a cool concept, simple, tight execution. Can't ask for more than that! The twist in the second half was a lot of fun.
The twist is the best thing!
Loved the art style, the sfx were amazing, the mood top tier. And throwing was fun as hell! People say its possible to escape as the sheep but i couldnt manage it.... Great entry tho!
"Join the flock!" indeed! Very cool twist, I really liked it. The throwing and movement all felt really good and I liked the eye closing effect! Great sound and visuals.
Nice game! Something about the sound of a balloon popping whenever a sheep gets sacrificed makes the game really fun
Duck, commited crimes. Duck Recommends game
I don't think I completely understand the objective. Is it to sacrifice the sheep as fast as possible? Does "Evil Escapes" mean I lost? How does one win?
So deep, so true.
Love the retro art style
Wow, had to so much fun playing this. Catching and sacrificing is really satisfying
I wish I could rate the game! I like the concept. Although there's not much to it, what _is_ there works really well. The second part was unexpected, I wish there was more to it!
What an incredible twist, got me confused at the beginning haha Also I love how juicy it feels :)
I really liked the art style and game play. I enjoyed playing it.
Nice concept!
Really loved the narrative here, so simple yet tells the story effectively.
Love the overall style and great work! I mean, sheep is so adorable that its more than suitable to make them "beyond reality". Great work!
how you set the mood with pico 8 limitations is really impressive! If you decide to expand on this maybe you could even be the next Airdorf or Ivan zanotti, lol. cool!
I played this way to long to find out what endings there are but i just kept switching between sheep and person I gues I dont get it :p
I love style of this game
Really enjoyable little game. The premise is super simple but it's a really fun experience and very effective at selling a narrative. Lovely graphics and audio - again, simple but works perfectly to sell the concept. Great job!
Too bad it's too short but it's understandable. Hmmm... for some reason, I can't find any rating option there.
Good idea but i think gameplay is very short
Great twist in NG+
I throw sheep to the dark lord. I liked it !!! Too bad you didn't had time to do the end, it's pretty good and the animation is awesome ;)
This was a really nice twist in NG+ I wasn't expecting it haha It was a bit of a short experience but the sheep throwing was really satisfying ! Also liked the art :)
Love the chunky sprites and sounds, and a satisfying control of the character.
Got scared when I became sheep. Great art style!
I had fun, but there is little content (or I just didn’t find it)
I was scared so much when I became sheep :D Would like to be more options here. But good job!
nice little concept that warrants a second look
Maybe I didn't get it, but I felt a little guilty when I turned into a sheep
love it ! the second part when i was the sheep trully make my day haha ! Great Game, graphics, sounds and animatics are perfect ^^ The storytelling is captivating !
Why can't I rate this? It's really beautiful, polished and loved the final twist! I get that you ran out of time to implement the theme but I loved this anyway. Nice job!
Those poor sheepies 😭
The evil escapes screen is absolutely gorgeous. I laughed out loud when the second part started and I realised what was happening.
Love the graphics and the overall mood :)
haha sheep go brrrr
Good job :)
It is short, but the game is still there. And you have a twist. Nice job.
I like the concept, art and audio, the twist in the second part was really effective and unexpected :) Nice job!
Fun concept, love the twist! Audio is blaringly loud though, a bit of a shame considering the quality of it.
Beautifully executed design, it's a pity that the game is short
It was fun small game with twist!
Wonderful game! Somehow it's close to our game ^_^
totally loved the twist!!
I'm just dying of laughter, it's wonderful!!
Fun experience, it made me feel evil
Really good! I'm a big fan of pico8 too. I also used it for the Ludum :-) The style and mood are great. I'm sure you can find a way to match the theme ;-) I would have loved rating you 6 stars. Keep up!
This is a very epic game! Funny and nice looking, though simple. Love the sacrifice idea
After having experienced the plot twist, I tried to save the sheep in my 2nd playthrough. I tried to throw them out of bounds but it teleported them directly into sacrifice area.
This game is cursed, in a very good way! Awesome job!
great mood, good job!
Sacrified Sheep Simulator, love it!
The art and music is fantastic. I love what happens in the second section. Fantastic game.
hello
Being a sheep is really hard just liek in real life
Not sure if I understood everything, but it was fun and I would like to rate humor for this entry. Why is rating disabled?
