Cute game! The tension is palpable, the music choice helped with that for sure. Wish the dog barked and more SFX in general.

The game is fun, and it is an interesting interpretation of the theme. I like the game, the only problem that i had was the camera, but it is just a matter of being used to the game.

The concept is well-executed with understandable controls (with some work needed for the camera). It's weird that the player can walk past the level boundaries, but it also helps with positioning before charging at another animal. Charming game with room to expand.

Really enjoyable game with adorable animal graphics and engaging gameplay. The camera controls need refining as they can feel a bit slippery. Also, varying the map layout and adjusting the audio settings could enhance the experience. Great job on the cute concept and polished animal herding mechanics!

I really like the graphics and the game play loop. The only thing that I would work on a bit is the camera controls, it feels like it sometimes is slipping around. Other than that, awesome job!

Cute game! I think it would've been nice if you had a bit more room to get around the farm animals when they were at the edge of the map. Also changing the layout from level to level would've helped variety a bit but overall I enjoyed it, good job :)

love the doggo, sometimes the animals didn't seem to spawn though. would love a bark key!

Really liked this game, on my first playthrough I may have had a bug, I could only find 2 out of 3 animals (or skill issue), because I didn't have it after my literal first run.

it's a really cute game I love it! The animals are so cute :D

The herding of them feels very polished too, well done! It's really nice to adjust and they go exactly where I expect and want them to go :D

I would really like audio settings, the music was pretty loud. Also when you pause the game you can't continue, because when you click back on the game it captures the mouse again, but I can't click the buttons because of that.

Like the animals they are cute and UI is also good

I like the animal models, I like the music - very frantic! I do find that I got bugged or something of the sort a few levels in where one of the animals was nowhere on the map and I lost due to that. Otherwise, I had really much fun with this game!

Super cute idea for a game. I had a lot of fun trying it out, it provides a nice challenge (I'm a little embarrassed I lost on level 2 on my first attempt). The only critique I would give is that I wish the animals didn't always run to the outer edges of the map.

Simple and cute, this game was another great addition to the jam.
10/10 would send a lapdog to do a sheepdogs work again.
