A small sheepdog game about five whistles and one :dog: good boy.
Play it directly in your browser
You stand at the gate. The dog works the flock. You don't move, you don't pathfind — you pick one of five commands and trust the dog to read the field. Real shepherds command their dogs over distance with a handful of short whistles: tiny bandwidth, precise meaning. The whistle is the signal.
Controls — four keys, five whistles
Whistles latch until replaced. HUD pills click too (touch fallback).
One year, four short levels — :cherry_blossom: spring, :sunny: summer, :fallen_leaf: autumn, :snowflake: winter.
Scottish Borders.
No score, no timer, no Game Over — it ends quietly.

48h Compo entry. Vanilla JS + Canvas. Hand-recorded whistles, barks and bleats plus a couple of Web Audio stingers. No frameworks, no external assets.
