The two rules I interacted with in this game were the water and the chicken. With the water, I felt annoyed. Not because of the rule itself, it is because I kept pressing the arrow key and accidentally pushed the sheep into the water. I felt surprised with the chicken because when I first interacted with it I had no idea what was going to happen. The dialogue mentioned that the chicken will scare the sheep back, but I didn’t quite understand what “scared back” means in the first place. When I moved Bob away, the sheep jumped back one space once it interacted with the chicken. I think it is an interesting rule, and very creative with the combination of the sound effects. The combination of the chicken pushing the sheep into the water on the last level was intriguing. I thought of this interaction when I was on level 4, then I felt satisfied once I saw the creator mentioned this interaction in the dialogue before level 5. I can imagine that there can be other uses with this interaction. For example, what if the chicken can be scared into the water, or what if the chicken can scare both the sheep and Bob once they are in a row. I think this interaction will still persist if the rules are changed. I also think the physical game mechanic is the part that makes the interaction interesting. Once the sheep are scared into the water, the entire level restarts. So it is important to keep in mind to actually avoid this interaction with the mindset of passing that last level.
