I'mma be honest and say I literally had no idea what to do lmao, really silly and fun game though! The running animation especially is amazing! Loved the stuff I was able to figure out too, the music really compliments the vibe too

@crow-seeds Thank you for the feedback =) I plan to make another level with training. After that, everything will become clear. For now,
I'll just say:
- the bomb does not blow up the living
- crabs love fish
- and stealth mechanics work there.
That's all you need to know to get the crab to the white circle.

A great homage to one of my childhood favorites! I'm sure it's a bit confusing for those who didn't play the original but it's very well executed overall. I wish there was more but you accomplished a lot for a jam game already.

At one point, Not-Sam-the-Sheepdog got stuck in this fence and made my run a bit of a breeze. Though I was impressed at how effective he was normally!

@tomatolamp At the end of the jam, I was alone in development and had to rush. This resulted in errors.
For example, this error caused the navigation to be baked before the signs were placed =)
But recently I posted a corrected version on the itch.io site. There are also made control tips for items.

Bro, really thanks, that was one of my favorites games of all time

It is my first 5/5 that I have put on everything. The nostalgia hits hard. You managed to capture the essence of the original game 100% in 72 hours, awesome.

@josemwarrior I'm glad you liked it! And I'm glad that at least someone was able to win the version from the jam =) Otherwise, I had to finish the hints already outside the jam, so that at least one of my friends could evaluate the game on their own =)

I loved sheep raider so much as a kid it surprised me at first when I started your game haha ! Which means it's not so much about innovation but the mood is really well transcribed with the funky music and everything ! Wish there was more puzzles !

I haven't played sheep raider, but this was a charming little game nonetheless :)
I did have difficulty getting a crab, though...

This was as fun game to play, and it was interesting trying to puzzle out how to complete the delivery. The guard was very effective, the stealth definitely felt like the most tricky part.

The art was nice as well, both the landscape, characters and their animations.

Nice work!
