The sheep are doing what sheep should do: killing themselves 😂

Nice game.

Developer

Hahaha thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Very creative! I love the concept a lot!

The gameplay was a bit difficult, and it felt like the sheep saw my dog as a suggestion more than a guide.

I really liked the game overall! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! The dog is definitely still in training his herding skills are questionable xD

Submitted(+1)

Really nice audio and visuals! I was shocked the first time the sheep died at the rocks--I didn't expect that to take them out like that haha. But then I understood the concept better. Very creative! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Hahaha ye it's a bit extreme, but I'm glad you enjoyed!

I really like the art in this game, it's very well made! Music is was nice as well.

Gameplay was fine, but very hard. Steering the sheep proved to be much trickier and felt quite unresponsive most of the time, since they wouldn't really move all that much toward where I was directing them. Barking also didn't redirect them as much as I would have expected, they just ended up crashing into rocks and ponds faster.

Good game nontheless!

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! The herding does definitely need some work, the dog is an amateur xD

Those sheep are panicking a lot!

Hahaha, thanks for playing!

woww the art is soo good

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! I think there should be another way to direct the sheep other than slamming them into a wall every now and then. Other than that, good job!


If you have some time, it would be awesome if you could try out my game :D

Developer

Thank you! Rated yours aswell :)

must say I accidently killed like millions of sheep 😂 really liked the art, but there was like this pop in of rocks, and its quite noticable, and i must say i struggled on the levels where the wolf dashes at you, but i really enjoyed the game!

Thanks for playing!

OMG this game is so wholesome! great music choice... I had instant connection with the story I think I was a shepherd in my previous life. 

Developer(+1)

Thank youuu! I'm glad you enjoyed :))

Submitted(+1)

Really great art and I loved the choice of music. The gameplay was a bit too frustrating for me.

Developer(+1)

I understand, thank you for playing!

Pretty neat and humble! Music, vibe and atmosphere fits well! However, at times, I felt like herding the sheep was a bit difficult.

Developer

Yee I agree the herding was something very hard to get working decently

Submitted(+1)

Sheeesh this game is much better than i thought early on. i couldn't get past level 5 it takes actual skill and decision making to prioritize a group of sheep over the others
Really well crafted and balanced.

Developer

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed :))

Love the art,it looks like such a cute game but it is really stressful also.I didn't expect to be so bad at herding.

Developer

Thank you! Herding is pretty hard haha

Submitted(+1)

Very creative! Different take on dodging obstacles, you don't dodge them but have to make the sheep dodge them! The wolves were stressing me out and the dog is super cute, Good job!!

Developer

Thank you! It was hard to find an idea but then I looked at my dog and was like yes you will be my theme xD

Submitted(+1)

That's actually super creative! I didn't expect it to be hard, but maybe I just suck :D. I really liked the art and the sound effects. The idea itself is very strong I feel like. 

Developer(+1)

Its pretty hard, the whole herding mechanic wasnt the easiest thing needs a lot of fine-tuning still. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

love the art, good concept too. the wolf eating rocks like its breakfast terrified me! had fun trying to cheese the game lol

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it! The wolf eating the rocks was a bug but I thought it was to funny not to keep hahaah

Submitted(+1)

Nice work, it was hard to keep the sheep alive! My efficiency was not looking so hot. I see your dog assisted in the voice acting which we love to see!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Can't make a game about the dog without including him :D

Submitted(+1)

Really fun and really tough! A cool concept and it really does feel like herding a bunch of sheep haha. Love it, and the art is nice too! especially the dogs and wolves

Developer

Thank you so much!
