You are a dog, shepherding sheep to the goal. Sheep will follow you if you get near them, but make sure you don't get surrounded or get attacked by a wolf. Controls are simple, use arrow keys on the keyboard or the digital pad on a game controller.
Made with Monogame. Please note you will need DirectX installed to play. If you don't have it, a link to the installer is listed in the downloads.
Constructive criticism is encouraged. Also note I was sick most of the weekend and didn't get a lot of time to work on the game so it's short and rough around the edges, but is complete so criticize away!
@anaconda-games Do you have specific one's that you had issues with. I had a few people play the game after submission and watched them play, and the on people seem to get stuck at is "Blocks can also block wolves." I may need to provide a hint on that one.
Yay! I completed all the levels! Awesome game! The puzzles are challenging and the difficulty scaling is great! The shepherd's whine is so cute and sad at the same time, hahaha!
@kogasilverdragon I think you are the first person to say they actually completed all the levels without help! I've watched five people try to complete it and get stuck so I was afraid the game was too hard. This makes me feel better.
@dalbinblue I'm kinda stubborn and don't like to leave a puzzle unsolved! Hahahaha! The most complex was the wolves and boxes but wasn't impossible. Trial and error! =3
Impressive work. The different levels show that you already have a good understanding of the range of possibilities offered by the simple rules you devised, which is no easy feat in such a short time.
The wolves's behaviour felt a bit counterintuitive at first, which may be why some players got stuck early. Squeezing in a few intermediate levels to make the mechanics sink in should help alleviate the problem.
What an amazing game, fantastic use of the theme and a brilliant puzzle game! Adorable graphics, cute music and really good fun puzzling! I can't believe you made this whilst sick!!
Hi ! I included your game in my "ludum dare winners" video, you can watch it there : https://youtu.be/M5tjkG0-FO4?t=178 Congratulations :) and don't mind to ask me for translation because it's in french :)
Great job!
