Try to lead your sheep through these dangerous meadows.

Use the arrow keys to move around, B to bark, R to reset the level, and Space to grab.
When you have saved at least one sheep, you can use Enter to go to the next level.

HAHA! Above all great aproach to the Jam's theme.
Managed to get to stage 4. The first one was the hardest!
Its really fun an love the way the flock tends to stay together.
Loved the idea

Nice took on the theme! I enjoyed playing it, although sheeps tend to move quite... sheepy? The sound effect give it a nice touch, graphics are ok but i think with more polishing and maybe without the black outer layer they would look more "soft". Congrats!

Cool game! Spammed bark the entire time. Sheep were difficult to corral but I guess that's the point. Graphics weren't bad. A nice entry!

This is super unique and fun to play! I could see myself spending a lot of time trying to get these sheep to safety. Nice work!

Interesting game to say the least. The sheep 'moo' for starters. I like the idea, art could've been a bit better.

There are 13 levels, if you’re stuck against the wolves, you can try to *grab* some things...

Nice idea. Like the way you introduce the bush-trap. No way to escape it :) It would be nice to have some background music and some noise to the car (even before coming).

Great idea for a game with this theme! When brainstorming for a game I was thinking about herding as well but wasn't quite sure how to execute it, but I think this was a good way to do it!

Simple premise with a very good execution. The art is simple, but it does it jobs and helps with the humor as well. Some music would've been nice to shake things up.

The second level was already very long though and the game overstayed it's welcome pretty quickly. There wasn't enough gameplay variation to keep me hooked for more than a few minutes.

Good entry though! Try to mix up the gameplay a little more when you have such a simple premise.

@nek I know right, I also wanted to. That’s what the last level is for ^^

Nice little game with cute graphics. Easy to get a start but still have to be careful to protect your sheep. Nice entry.

Nice idea, but kinda frustrating at times. :P
I barked for immersion.

i'm so lucky XD.

Your game so fun. I hate sheep after play this game :)

It was a little frustrating when sheep got stuck in corner.
Cool game with my kind of humor!

Nice, funny game! I tried so many times and cant cross first row! As I can see from somebodys screentshot it is possible to have three of them reaching the road alive. Me, I couldnt approach it without loosing one in the beginnig. Will try more then. You could have added some more music to it. Good job!

The game was fun, though the level design elements got a little repetitive. The dedicated bark button is great.

Nice job on the ai pathing. Was able to maneuver the sheep surprisingly well. Easy controls to pick up and play. Nice jam!

The idea is super fun, but the sheeps is a bit too difficult to control.
