I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of herding games. But there's something about this one that I can't quite put my finger on it. It might be the gentle farm music. The rolling green hills? Perhaps the gentle bleating of the sheep? Actually, it's probably the gangs of sheep drifting around corners creating an actual warzone of explosions

This is probably my favorite submission that I've played so far. Nice work!

:D:D:D

ok, lots of fun. explosions are great. i mean its a bit buggy but hey - gamejams - and who gives a d... am I right? :D
Level two was not finishable because of the camera perspective / walls of the "barn" were blocking everything. Also the "flaming sheep pathfinding into gate/barn" didn't seem to work.
Also in the second level, the audio was clipping and playing a trillion times :D

Maybe it was because the "shepherding mechanic" was a bit buggy (sheep just stop, I can't even push them) maybe a bark + cooldown to make the sheep sort of dash opposite would give more freedom and a more differentiated way of controlling.

Maybe in the future  "clumping / swarming / flocking" of the sheep when shepherded would be really cool :P if you know what I mean...

Nice idea! Funny to play. Congratulation on your submission!

Thank you so much for playing! Yeahh we definitely struggled a bit with the sheep movement, it has flocking/wandering/evasion but it took us too long to finetune the movement variables xD
