LOVE the concept. Perfect game name. Love the art and sound. Good gameplay. Everything was well executed. Thanks for a fun game! I got to day 15 before the sheep overwhelmed my loopies.

yeah im sold this is a cute quick game. Pretty ui and pixel art. dog sounds a plus. Would have liked more dog sprite options to switch dog. (other dog games did it) so if you want to appeal with a dog game gotta bring that bar up.
i think this is good for just a jam only game though I cant see long term on this.

super cool! at first i didn't get that the sheep needed to be looped twice, but when i found out it became super fun! very nice execution :)

Among games with similar mechanics, this was the most fun.

The art style and background music are excellent as well.

A beautiful game,  I really wish I could have a Border Collie herding sheep on the grasslands in real life one day

I Also love the background music

Nicely done, very good level of execution. We too were tempted to use this music for our game)

The only thing I didn't really understand: what's the metaphor behind needing to loop each sheep twice before it disappears?

Developer

Originally, we had the idea that the sheep would then re-appear within the confines of a fence that would be to one of the sides of the level, but this part was cut due to time constraints 😅 I am happy that you found it fun!

Loved it. Was really excited for the upgrades each time. Ended up losing the game by a second or less. Good art too! Great job

Cute with beautiful artwork, especially the dog and grass

Developer

Thank you! Love the art in your game

I quite like this one! For future players, it seems like you just need to loop each sheep twice. The first time you loop it, it will blink red, the second time it will blink green. Let me know if this works for you guys as well.

The vibe is super cute and I like the upgrade system. Nice!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, and a great heads up for other players, as that part probably should have been explained in game 😅

Really fun game with interesting mechanics, my only real problem is that capturing sheep seems to be a bit odd, as half the time i would only get half of them or none, but im guessing im missing something about the game.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, sorry about the confusion, just to clarify — each sheep has 2 "health," so you'll need to capture each one twice for it to be  fully captured. Really glad to hear you enjoyed the game, though!
