A happy sheep talks about what it's like on the field (there's even a bit of poetry).

I made the O2A2q version in one week, and found that it sometimes ignored some keypresses, or if you kept held the escape key on the main menu it could start to flicker until you released it. So I fixed it on the next day, making version 1.1, which is also the one that will play in-browser.

I left out the audio because it was very noisy. I hope to add it back sometime I have more time. And I plan on making a multilingual release in those languages I feel like I speak well enough.


I made this in Godot, which made it fairly easy to do the animation, but complicated the programming side of things. So I didn't manage to get the UI able to do all of the things Ren'Py does by default, such as making the font size changeable. I think changeable font size is something I might get working in time for the Blossom jam.

Known issues:

  • The O2A2q version doesn't hande keyboard input very well, so I'd recommend relying on a mouse if you play it. Not only it might ignore some keypresses but it might sometimes do more than it was supposed to.
  • Right before uploading version 1.1 I made it so that if you use the up and down arrow keys on the about screen or the controls screen, it scrolls up or down. That's not documented in the controls screen.
  • Pressing some keys after clicking on the background or sprites could get counted as pressing the keys twice. This happened more in the O2A2q version, but wasn't fixed completely until version 1.2.
  • The skip button in version 1.3 sometimes ignores some clicks. I'm not entirely sure what causes this.

Install instructions

For the version submitted to the O2A2q jam (you will probably need a mouse to play it, as keyboard support wasn't quite working when I submitted, and I recommend not pressing the escape key, as it might cause a bit of flickering), download one of the builds with "o2a2q" in their names. The PC version contains both a Windows and a Linux executable (the latter has the extension x86_64). The mac version I haven't been able to test as I don't have a mac. (Version 1.3 doesn't currently have a mac release, as I'm worried the switch to Godot 4 might have introduced Mac-OS specific problems. If you do try the web version on Mac OS, please tell me if that works.]

The game is so stupendously great, the appearance and the writing is so delicate and charming, simple yet grand

Thanks!

This was so adorable and so cute! I adore the hand-drawn background and the paper sheep, it's so simple yet charming and it fits perfectly with the game. I loved it!
