Every weekend Stew the were border collie gets out there in a field and shifts sheep. It's super authentic, kinda like making your own pickles. And Stew's ancestors were all about shifting sheep... well, at least on the were border collie side of his family.

So use WASD or the arrow keys (or a d-pad!) to shift that sheep around and get it onto the target. If you push the sheep up against the fence by accident, a handy RESET button will show up to help you fix that problem. Each time you get the sheep to the target you'll get a few extra seconds added to your time.

Wereboarder Collies in their youth...would be the name of the Michael Chabon book about this game. This is awesome!

More fun than it probably should be ;)

Collision boxes were a bit funky as sometimes you would slip off whilst pushing the sheep but other than that this was pretty fun to play and I liked the bgm.

You should improve the collision boxes. =]

Not baaaa d. I enjoyed this game. Ewe really managed to make something that has me on the fence of throwing a lamb party featuring this game. With all the gLOOMy games, or just spinning wheels in this challenge, this was a shear blast.

Collision was weird, loved it otherwise!

I didn't think I would like it, but I couldn't stop pushing sheep into place, so maybe I did enjoy it.

Great game! Simple and yet fun! The music and the art on the character is quite good and it's great that you can play it with one hand!

Keep up the good work! :D

This is somehow really addictive! It would be great to have enemies or some other form of obstacles or gameplay twists show up as you play. The sprite work is great. Nice work!

The graphics are good but I thought it was boring and the sheep targets were messed up sometimes

Nice game and cute dogman :) I hope you will continue this idea with barriers, unique sheeptypes etc. :)

Nice title.

Maybe giving the player and the sheep round collision shapes would add some more challenge to the push mechanic?

Great interpretation of the theme, you need to shift sheeps.

It's a weird game with weird music. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The controls could be tuned up but hey, it's the Ludum.
