About the game
Play as Carrot, a little bug who dives into sheep's dreams, solves puzzles, and wakes them up to join the team — but when they wake, the dream is just beginning. How deep does it go?
Inspired by Baba Is You, as well as games like Inscryption and Pony Island.
About the developer
Solo indie developer in New York City, making art inspired by day-to-day experience living there.
The title logo drawn from the game's bitmap font at 16x, transparent, plain and with a black outline.
Transparent PNG cut-outs: Carrot (idle frames 0–2, plain / 3D glasses / black sunglasses), Baby Carrot (frames 0–3, the same three looks), Threefrog (idle, mouth open, mouth closed), sheep 1–9, the blank sheep, the sleeping sheep (a dream portal), the black sheep, the pink sleeper and the dive frames. _left = facing left. Carrot is 16x, everything else 8x native pixels, so Carrot and a sheep are the same in-game size.
Transparent PNG cut-outs at 8x: the grabber claw open and closed, the 3D glasses pickup, a moss clump, a tree, a 3-hole, the pen and a brick wall tile.
1920x1080 in-game frames, one per biome and mechanic: the Meadows, the Bluffs, the hub, the Beach (grabber, Threefrog), the Grove (moss), the black-sheep secret, the Psychic dream (pink sheep), the Red Sea 3D glasses puzzles, the night 3D world, the half-slab world and the dreamscape tutorial. HUD included.
1920x1080 clean boards: the flat puzzle boards with no HUD and no player, filling the frame top to bottom. Good backdrops for thumbnails; drop a character cut-out on top.
World-map backgrounds with no text: a fresh start (one island lit), the demo complete, the full game complete and the finale sunset backdrop, each at 1920x1080 and 1040x800.
Title screens at 1040x800: fresh install, fully completed, the finale sunset title and the demo's end screen.
