idk, its kinda strange, but very dynamic!

I can't open it :(

im so confused about what exactly happens when i presse the buttons (even reading the descriptions) but it was a little fun. i did also have a bit of trouble to open it as the button to play is mostly out of screen

To be honest, I think you'd better make a guidance in the game. It's a little bite confusing .

preef 2025-10-07 15:31

a bit confusing (and hard to play on my laptop with a touchpad) but I really liked the vibe

When you fall asleep drunk you see such dreams. Impressive experience in any case, good job!

Interesting setting, however I was confused as well T-T

That's one weird game, but I managed to get to the end. Those cardboard animals and enemies don't seem to influence the game at all.

@belosha @preef @daniel123 @rozz Sorry about the confusion. There was a bit of rush to get things finished before the deadline, so polishing and proper tutorials kinda got canned. The goal of the game is to pick up the glowing orb trophies and drop them into the green zone on the ship. Hope that helps :)

@flying-dog-fish Yeah we had a whole thing planned with the enemies, shooting and upgrade, which got canned at the last minute.

I uh... can't say I'm certain what is going on. Are the sheep attacking me? XD

Wild, surreal, and full of chaotic charm. The cardboard visuals and offbeat humor make it memorable, even if the objectives are a bit unclear at first. Once you figure out how to collect trophies, it’s oddly satisfying. Feels like a fever dream made during a storm — in the best way possible.

@ruruie Yes, norwegian sheeps are very ferocious >:)

@d3kryption Being stuck in Norway without electricity brings the best/weirdest ideas.

The game froze many times and had issues but I liked the crazyness of the game. The graphics also were fun!

Nice game! Was fun to move around and explore. The jump felt disproportionate to the size of the environment and physics a bit weird, but still fun!

helen 2025-10-19 13:34

Wow, 30h games no electricity in a game jam - that sucks. I was confused like the others, but I liked the cats on cardboards and the music.

gonutz 2025-10-19 19:09

Wow, what did I just play? Why don't these cows like me? And why are they made of cardboard? :-)

Also, what island were you on? Hammerfest?

pete-valeo 2025-10-21 21:25

This is a very strange beast of a game, but I found myself enjoying it kind of a lot? Not much to do that I could discern, but the floatiness of the jump mechanic and the overall fog-swamp vibe was a surprising amount of fun to spend time in. Very confused, but impressed nonetheless!

franciscorp 2025-10-21 22:38

It is somewhat confusing, even after reading the description, but quite fun and dynamic, was a little confused of what I was suppose to do, but with more time(power outage sucks) I believe the polishment would improve the game

jesus-gonzalez 2025-10-22 04:51

Amazing that you where able to finish at all!
