greatly polished game. gotta love dog games. the scene transition is a great touch. I think the wolf needed to scatter the sheep if you got too clsoe more or another difficulty challenge maybe. Often times too the sheep would get bugged onto the collision of the fence and get stuck. they need to be slightly large collision boxes for the fence i think. but great game spammed the boof all game.

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun playing your game, too!
Yes, we designed some specific behaviors for the wolves and sheep. For example, wolves never eat grass, they tend to wander away from the flock, and they respond much more slowly to dog barks. The sheep will also randomly get frightened by a wolf and flee, though as the levels progress and there are simply too many sheep, this becomes less obvious. Also, a wolf will reveal its true appearance every few seconds (mostly noticeable by its tail), and it will eat a sheep if the dog is far enough away.
Starting at Lv 3, we added "dumb sheep"—these are actual sheep that behave like wolves (except for eating sheep) to trick the player even more😉. But in general, since it's a cozy game, we didn't want to punish the player too much for missing a wolf. Just spamming the bark and bite buttons felt quite fun during our dev phase haha.
And yes, the friction was fixed! I simply forgot to change its default value hehe. I guess I'm the dumb sheep now🐑!
