Would give audio more than 5 stars if I could. As a music and sound person myself, I always love good, creative, dynamic audio! I'm embarrassed to say in such a music-based game I did so poorly! XD

A real feel good game! Audio was amazing, and the gameplay idea is cool. The main screen art is lovely as well. I really enjoyed it.
I love sheep, i once made a game where sheep sacrifice people on a big rock. However this game was super relaxing, visually pleasing and played well.
the consequence of the sum of the cards is perfectly adapted, the game is visually beautiful, succeeding in finding my sequence to make the wolves flee. alas the game goes round in circles too quickly but it was a pleasure to discover it. Thanks a lot!
I liked the art and sound, and the concept seemed pretty clever but the webplayer showed all the sheep as black squares for me (texture loading error?) so I couldn't figure out the associations.
Nice red thread in the graphics and overall a very cute game & well sounding game!
One note for improvement (imo) is some sort of win condition or indicator of progress other than score - it doesnt feel that satisfying.
nice and cute! maybe a little convoluted to play properly, but that's fine imo when mashing buttons feels sufficiently satisfying as it does here
Honestly -- superb work here. The parallax title screen was really cool, and the art is amazing! I was a little confused on the music mechanic, but playing around with different combinations was really fun! I got to a score of 241 before I quit, and I definitely had fun. I'm not sure if the wolves were supposed to be some kind of danger, because they never came near me or hurt my flock.
Nice visual stylization and overall feel. nice take on music gameplay. I'm small brain so have not figured out how to make proper patterns. But love it anyway.
The music combinations are super cool, I love it! Plus the graphics and the overall mood is awesome. On the one hand it's confusing that the cards have no visual indication of what they'll do or sound like but it is a nice stylistic choice. The cards that just have illustrations remind me of the board game Dixit. Anyway this game is awesome, good job!
Sheep? Yes, sheep. Not lions, not tigers, sheep
The game looks and sounds wonderful! I was not very sure how to control what I actually played and how to encourage more or less sheep/wolves to follow, but it was very interesting
We also made a game whith sheeps and cards! But they are very different. Anyway nice game, a bit difficult for me for the controls, but nice anyway ;)
Very funny sheep with foxes on their backs :D you have an interesting approach to revealing the topic
Wow, this is truly something else. It's intuitive, pleasant to eyes and ears, and so diverse! So many variations and combinations that I can choose from, and there is a strategic element too. I appreciate that I can see the history of previous summons to adjust my future summon. Great job on your team!
Really cool game, I never quite figured out which sheep like which tune so I was more randomly selecting them haha.
Love the art style, and it is one of the most creative interpretations of the theme I've seen so far!
Maybe a link to the how to play page from the ingame menu could have been helpful but I figured it out anyway :)
Very unusual color schemes! Lots of colors! Well done call! The first time I pressed the call, I was a little scared by the sound!))) Very good game!
Having the history of tunes was really crucial. Might have been better to have that visible by default. But I love the interpretation of the theme. Very lovingly put together. Good job team!
A really innovative, fun take on the theme! The game feels super chill and cosy, wonderful sound design and art, very polished and cohesive altogether. I liked the mechanic, and the variations in sheep/cards were definitely enough to keep the player's interest without becoming repetitive.
I love the game's itch page also - it's simple/minimalistic and cute, almost like a wallpaper in a kid's bedroom.
Big fan of this entry!
The art and music and vibes are really lovely, gives me a sense of openness and freedom. But I had no idea what I was doing. I tried to match the cards' color themes with the sheep but still wasn't sure I'm going about this the right way. I understand it needs have some challenge with matching the right cards to the right sheep, but I think it should've been a bit more telegraphed and cohesive. Also not sure what the wolves did? One approached my flock but I'm not sure what it did.
I don't think I played any similar games before. Interesting mechanic and well executed. Good way to kill some time
Hi! really polished game, nice art and music, was relaxing and good experience. Thanks
Really good art!
Love this visual and sounds! Good work guys
Beautiful game! I love how you mix and match the music. But I don't really understand how to find the correct patterns, I just randomly select the music.
An interesting idea indeed!
I don't know that I ever really 'figured it out'. I think I was sort of getting it, but with only the score in the bottom right, I didn't really feel like there was any feedback for how you were doing.
By the end I was just choosing 3 random cards as quickly as possible, and even then each turn takes about 10 seconds. I didn't necessarily dislike choosing card combos and hearing their tunes, but I didn't feel like I was given any reason to want to keep doing that for the 8+ minutes required to get to round 50. It didn't feel like I was ever rewarded or punished for my decision (though I'm guessing through the change in score I was).
Because this is a game jam, I did stick it out to see what happened. I was kind of disappointed to see it just abruptly end and display the score (that felt like I randomly) accumulated.
I don't meant to sound to critical. I think the game looks really nice, and the melodies were interesting. But I can't help but feel like the gameplay falls a bit flat. Some sort of obstacle to overcome, or reason to try to collect specific types of sheep, etc. might go a long way.
All that being said, I appreciated the game, and applaud your choice to do something different and unique!
I love some interactive layered audio!
So comforting and cozy, definitely a unique game with some gorgeous audio!
