Simple but satisfying game! Herding the sheep feel pretty intuitive, and the collecting SFX ontop makes it feel great racking up the score. Good job! :) (My best score was 4830)

DON'T STOP MOVING

Every run over dog is just a nightmare... There is no cars... Everything is good. The dog is alive... Don't lie to me!

So, gameplay is nice and feels polished. Good game to kill some time. Good job.

Btw, 7k after some tries.

I like amassing an orb of sheep and chucking them into the pen. Excellent dog. If I had to say anything I'd say there should be a warning for an incoming car, because I got jumpscare instakilled by a car at the very top or bottom of the screen a couple times.

Thanks for playing and appreciate the feedback!

Simple but fun game! I think there is a good balance of different things to focus on like keeping the sheep away from the logs and bringing the sheep back to the pasture. This helps keep the game engaging and fun. The music and graphics overall add a calm and chill vibe to the game, and I think it complements the gameplay well too. I do think trying to control the sheep in the game is a bit difficult and tricky, but that might just be a skill issue haha. Overall, this is a well polished and cool game, and I hope your doggo is getting many pets and treats.

Nice game, it's simple and fun, maybe new scenarios could be added to expand the idea, but as is it works fine.

Good job! :D

Had my doubts after seeing the banner, but it was honestly fun to play! Cool multiplier system, I liked the visuals and sound design and redirection sheep felt pretty good as well

Yh art is not my forte :D Appreciate you trying it out!

After accidentally insta-killing your dog, followed by creating a sheep graveyard in the road, I got used to the herd mechanics and finally managed to bag a high score of 840 before killing your dog again, sorry man...

Fun little game idea though!

Took a few goes for me to get used to the controls and how the sheep move relative to player, but after that i really enjoyed it, could be a really good game with more polish and levels :D
