really nice! the herding mechanic is a bit finnicky, but it works :) It's fun to push the cats around, but i found a bug where a dog got stuck in a single square hole so that level was pretty easy, you could fix that by not allowing dogs to enter 1 square wide holes. The art is nice and the music is relaxing. Nice job!

[C]AtelierI rather enjoyed the herding mechanic, simple and effective, It'd be nice if only the dog could herd them out of the box though, and not the player. Too often did I find myself unraveling my efforts.
Otherwise quite clever, with great animations, and relaxing music. Good fun.
Keep up the good work, and good luck! :D

Laser 'Purr'cisionCute game. Relaxing and fun to play. No offense to the dog, but don't scare the cat!

MiniventureSeems I wasn't the only one that made a game about herding cats :D
It's a cool concept and it feels polished. Good job!

Cat HerderSweet game! I got to the fourth level. When I first started playing it, however, it started me on a very hard level.
This is a really creative game!
The interaction between the cats, dogs, and the bone is very neat. Reminds me a bit of the Wolf, goat and cabbage problem.
I feel like the cat herding mechanic could be developed to give more control over where the cats go. Maybe a hitbox shaped like a plow could do the job? It seems like they run directly away from the mouse pointer. Although, that is the behavior of cats when you try to herd them in real life.
Anyways, thank you for making the game, it was fun!
