🎮 Game Overview

Baa~Howl~~ is a top-down stealth game created for Global Game Jam 2022 under the theme "Duality".

In this game, the player takes on the role of a wolf disguised as a sheep, blending in with the flock while secretly hunting them. The objective is to eat 20 sheep before the huntsman sees you.

If you're caught, it's game over!

The game also features inverted controls for an added challenge, requiring precise navigation and strategic timing to avoid detection.

🎮 Development Purpose

I participated in Global Game Jam 2022 as a programmer in Pussycat's group, where we developed Baa~Howl~~ under the theme "Duality". Our goal was to create a top-down stealth game that explores the dual nature of disguise and deception, using:

🔹 Inverted movement controls to challenge player adaptability.

🔹 AI-driven huntsman patrol system, reacting dynamically to the player's actions.

🔹 Stealth mechanics, requiring players to strategize their movements while blending in with the flock.
