Glad this has a digital implementation!

I found a bug with the 3-herd and a hole on level 48: From the start, press UDRRULUR. The herd should get stuck in the hole, but it can still move freely (except to the tile the shepherd was on, which seems to act like a wall).

This is such a neat system. I love how the puzzle solutions feel like a story without the rules being too contrived.

Isn't that already how master keys work?

You started with the purple paint already on previously, I guess they changed it to make that clearer.

I found this while browsing random jam games. I really like the interface screw abilities, and the virus themed boss fights are really clever. If you ever decide to extend this, I would play it.

I don't know how difficult this would be to implement in LOVE, but have you considered a dynamic soundtrack? Like, the music changes slightly as the difficulty increases?  The soundtrack is really cool, by the way!
