Nice game. A bit calming sound track so rather than a racing feeling it was very soothing somehow :)
Would have liked a keyboard controller but I know we had a mouse only option in the jam .. However a possible future addition :)
Nice game, I like the color pallete and graphics. Music suites the game very well. Good job.
This is so cute, I love it! Very well put together, and clearly a lot of love put into it. The dog selection was an awesome touch. Great game, happy to play it!
Really well done game. Mechanics worked great. The art was super adorable, the sound was excellent, and everything was very well polished. I do think the mouse only diversifier actually worked against the game. I think if I could control the dog with the keyboard it would've been a lot more fun. I found the endless clicking of the mouse more annoying than it was worth. But otherwise, solid entry. This is high up in my rankings for sure, just for the pure polish.
Well done. Good luck with the jam.
Thanks ! :)
Cute game full of lots of good boys! Wild that there were multiple sheep herding games this jam! 😂
The graphics were excellent and I like the bark mechanic to give a little speed boost. And the varying barks were spot on and so cute!
Indeed ! Hard to believe XD
Thanks ! glad you liked it :)
The gameplay was a repetitive, but the animations and music were really cute.
Thanks :)
This was a pleasure to play, simple, effective and all round adorable. fantastic work on this.
Thanks ! Happy you enjoyed it :)
What a cute game! I absolutely adore the little jump-walk animation the doggos do.
I'm sure the human will be thrilled with all the time they can now spend with their dog! ;)
Thanks ! :)
What a sweet little thing! Loads of little details, like the wooden footsteps on the bridge and silhouettes behind obstacles.
Nice that you hit all the diversifiers as well.
Thanks ! :)
Nice game. It looks good, it moves well. I like the bark mechanic.
I found the different little island too similar, some extra challenge, with wolves/bear/weather/... will be welcomed to diversify the gameplay.
Overall that was a relaxing experience.
Thanks for the feedback :)
I wanted to avoid adding predator to the game to keep it wholesome & relaxing but weather like wind pushing sheeps in certain direction would be a cool idea.
Freed all the sheep, I am the goodest boy. Fun game, with great graphics and theme implementation!
You sure are :)
Thanks for playing !
I liked seeing the little snippets in the jam discord and finally playing it was well worth the wait, I might have left a few sheep behind but it was fun nonetheless.
Thanks ! Glad you had fun with it :)
Cozy game, very fitting graphics and soundtrack. Would love to see more diverse levels and mechanics!
Fun and simple game, love it!!
Thanks ! Glad you liked it :)
Great game. Lovely Art and sound, everything put well together.
Overall, good punishment and some extra things like a pause menu are always welcome
Thank you :)
Amazingly well done! Really good pixel art, the polish, transitions, sound effects, everything was on point, congrats!
Thanks :)
