How does your game fit the theme?
You have to get the sheep to safety, but they're out of your control! Smart use of the dogs will help you to guide the sheep to the goal. What's that? Four dogs is too out of control for you? Grab a friend to lend a hand (or two)!

I'm not one for escort missions but you did real good with twisting the concept around on its head and linking it to the theme.
Could some one say... water under the bridge?
We're not a big fan of them either (particularly them old N64-era ones, like Goldeneye and the like, lol); it's just about the most out of control a person could ever feel in their life we think!
And we're glad it's water under the bridge. No more baaaaad blood between gamers and escort missions :-D
What a game!!
Great game with a great idea, jusy missing a tutorial other wise perfect to me
We're glad you like it!
Yes, a tutorial would definitely be nice; we were a little short on time (story of everyone here's lives, lol). If we ever do anything with it further, controls will definitely be spelled out intuitively in the game itself (though, they are on the game's itch.io page, just not the GMTK Game Jam submission page). Fwiw, we really like how you did this in your game's menu. Very clever!
Thanks for playing!
fun game ! great concept ! would have been nice to see a tutorial :D
Glad you liked it, and thanks for playing!
As far as a tutorial goes... well, yes, we agree :-D
This is a cool idea. Having to strategically move and place dogs at different spots to guide the sheep through the levels. And an inherent multiplayer mode is included!
The behaviour of the sheep was a pretty good mix between predictability and randomness. It felt natural and challenging but not frustrating.
Also the music is nice and the sound effects are funny.
Thanks for playing, and thanks for all the feedback! We're also fans of the optional multiplayer.
We're pretty proud of the sheep behavior. They actually follow some basic standard herding behavior. Give "boids" a google to see what we're talking about :-D
And our music and sound guy is especially happy you like his work, lol.
Thanks again!
