How does your game fit the theme?
To incorporate the theme, I made the flock itself a living countdown. The game ends the second the remaining sheep count hits zero. Every sheep you guide to safety gets you closer to victory, but every single one that gets snatched by a predator or wanders into a pit trap physically ticks that "timer" down. To actually pull off a win, you have to successfully save at least 50% of them.

Guess we had similar ideas but I like yours much better. Art style is nice, especially the sheep. You managed to bring some humor into it as well, the eagles flying away with the sheep and the holes the sheep can fall into was quite funny. Great job with this!
I was so bad at this but had a lot of fun playing!
I laughed out loud seeing the birds carry away my sheep. I failed them... This was a fun game to play.
Very cute! The level select is cut off for me, still clickable but not all buttons are fully visible. I really like the fantasy of a sheep dog guiding sheep to safety.
Thank you for the feedback, I apologize for they Ui technical difficulties.
Awee cute little game! ( <3 collies haha). Only issue is holy shit some of the ui is too big, and the farmer talking gets cut off at the top of the screen!
Really good effort though :)
Thanks for playing it. I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to test it on a different computer so I was unaware of the UI issues. Will definitely fix that for next time. Thanks for feedback!
I actually really liked the art, fun game! Some scaling issues, but gameplay was good!
Thanks for the feedback the art was so much fun to make! I apologize for the UI issues
Oh my God this reminds me of a game I played growing up, I love it! It's very charming and I love the sheep sprites 🐑

The intro cutscene is burned into my brain! Check it out if you haven't come across it, it's great fun
Thanks for playing and sharing your childhood game. I am glad you liked it as it was a blast to put together.
