SQUEEZEING the sheep in with the objects, cute game. Found and put three into the pen. Might have squeezed a little too hard, some of the sheep disappeared into the fence lol. I liked the expression on the shepherd's face. Very determined.

I'd suggest a Paper Mario style turning animation would make it less static without a lot of extra art. Also, spawning the player inside the fence so they know where it is. The level layout has landmarks so I think a minimap isn't needed, especially if you're intending it to be difficult.

Nice to hear you played long enough for three sheep! Are you sure the sheep disappeared into the fence? That didn't happen when I tested all the weird things to do in the game. They sometimes fly away in very high speed when you squeeze them too hard. Maybe that's what you saw?

A Paper Mario style turning animation is a great idea. I'm too lazy to add it to this game, but I'll be sure to keep it in mind making the next ones.

was just to hard and annoying for me. i got one sheep in and gave up. the graphics loog good its not realistic but in my opinion style is way more important that realistic graphics

It is hard  for me too. My best is 11, but I lost them all trying to get the last one. Most of my game graphics are mouse drawn like this one and I think I'll go on with that for a while. Thanks for the good feedback.
