- doggo picture pulled me in to play immediately!


- nice, simple, and cute

-  reminds me of a PC game i used to play long ago called 'sheep' from the early 2000s that was all sheep herding that i loved so it felt a little nostalgic

cute doggo :)

Game was pretty good! I think the sheep could probably turn a bit faster, and I’m not sure how best to counter the wild animals when there’s only 1 sheep left. It kind of just latched on and completely negated my attempts to influence that sheep. But very interesting concept!

Nice game! I did find that the movement felt a bit strange at first, although I got used to it after a point. The wild animals also confused me a bit, they were really quick and kind of unavoidable and then seemed to attach themselves to the sheep, which didn't really impact my ability to move them into the pen.

But otherwise, really nice entry! Well done.

Fun at first but it does get quite repetitive. There isn't really any consequence to the wild animal coming into the field other than be a nuisance. Even then I found I was able to push it with the dog to let it guide the sheep in for me.

Otherwise nice little game, with a little more it would be a great little cozy puzzler.

Nice game, can feel a bit repetitive without some additions.
Perhaps some barking could make the sheep go quicker, or frighten wild animal ?
Of course some polish will be welcomed.
I like the topview, and the dog movement, ship could benefit of some randomness, like some sheep be frightened and go too far, etc...

Overall nice tiny game.

We had the same idea but a very different way to execute it !
I like you take on it. you sheeps could move a little faster to make it a bit more frantic.
But, apart from that,  it a pretty fun game. good job :)

Thanks. After seeing your game I feel like mine could be played as a sequel to yours.

Fun little game. Kinda annoying, though as the sheep are unruly. But that’s realistic lol

Developer

Thanks. I wish I could have gotten the sheep movement smoother before time ran out. I'll probably spend some more time on it after the judging period.
