This is a cross between Pac-Man and Pikmin (real-time strategy). I wrote a blog post about the Pac-Man mechanics if you're interested.

Your sheep had been grazing all day, and now it's time to guide them back home. Sheep naturally like to flock together. They will follow the shepherd and run away from the dog.

But watch out for wolves! They will target separated sheep.

This game was created in C++ using the SDL2 and Box2D libraries. All other code is from scratch, so I didn't have enough time to add in audio, sorry!
