Cool game about a cool dog pushing a bunch of cool sheep to the shed. The dog ended up making the sheep penetrate through the shed losing them in the process.
You know, making this game, one of the fun parts was pushing the sheep off the map on purpose like an evil dog. Never tried making them fit through the fence though, that's a new one.
Cool game! I loved the hand-drawn visuals. The gameplay was fun and provided the right amount of challenge. Good job! :D
Another game with hand-drawn visuals. I like it! I also enjoyed the simple gameplay, it is easy to understand and feels rather good. Good job!
I love the art style hand drawing!!! A little suggestion is about the art detail level. Your map and the sheep and dog is not at the same level of details, try to put at the same level of details so it would make it more fit together. I loved the cute dog and the design to push the sheep together before the storm. It's so cute. I would suggest to add a background music like the introduction. And also, that the bark sound is a bit delay when pressing space bar, with maybe a invisible wall for the dog to not go outside of map. But it was really great again with your art!!!! Great Job
This game is adorable. I replayed it once so that I didn't lose any sheep. I really love the sheep design and I love even more that you drew them traditionally and scanned them! Great job.
Great game love the art style. At first I thought you had to put all the sheep in the house to protect them from the storm.
Good boy
I wonder if art is actualy hand drawn and then digitised or it just styled like this. Either way it looks and plays beutifuly :) I am a good boy, I lost only 3 sheeps :D
Thank you for playing!
I did indeed draw everything by hand, the dog and the sheeps were done with ballpoint pen on white paper and then scanned. Same for the map except it was done with watercolor pencils.
Thank you so much and good job on the sheepkeeping hehe!
Oh, I knew it was hand drawn! Awesome job :)
The art in this game is fantastic! I had a great time playing, though I think it would enhance the experience if the storm arrived a bit more gradually. And yes, that character is definitely a good boy!
Loved the art! I enjoyed playing your game, the only thing I would consider changing is the time it takes for the storm to arrive. PS: He is a good boy
cover art is cool.
Very cute art style, the sound as well is quite nice :) wish there was more though
cover art is cool, i think your game is on the point with the theme too!
the sheep are not to be trusted.....
cute game tho :D
Thank you hahaha you have a sheep game too? I shall go check it out 👀
the sheep are not to be trusted.....
cute game tho :D
Very cool game. I'm always gonna be a sucker for a dog game. Loved the hand-drawn art style! Great work! Congrats and good luck!
As others have mentioned, the art style is super unique and I like it a lot! Not sure if it was intended, but you're able to push all of the sheep into the pen and then just stand in the doorway. Would love to see some additional features or challenges to fill the time so it doesn't get too repetitive.
Thank you for playing!
We didn't have enough time to add all the features we planned but if we ever make a v2 we'd love to indeed have more challenges (like foes to ward off with barking and other little events) to spice up the gameplay a little bit
I thought i got all the sheep but the game said 2 were lost :O The art style is really lovely !
It's a cool idea and visual style. I dig it. But I'm not sure why I had to bark?
Thank you!
Barking-wise, it would be so sad to play a dog and not be able to bork :(
Joke aside, we didn't have time to develop all the game features we planned, so the barking was supposed to be used to fight off wolves and other foes. Hopefully we'll do a v2!
Great art!
I herded all the sheep to the spot needed, but seems like even then I have to wait until the storm comes. But it's basically won.
Also some sheep seem to get randomly counted as lost.
Anyways, cool stuff.
Hello !
Indeed we didn't have the time to develop all the features we'd like this game to have, like counting the sheep that get herded to the dedicated spot and locking them in. Likewise, the barking is supposed to ward off wolves. Maybe next version !
Sheep are lost when they go over the edge of the screen (they disappear).
Thank you for the kind feedback ! Looking forward to playing your game as well. :]
