The music was pretty good, but the animal animations were great! Well done!

It was pretty fun, got intense towards to 3 or 4th level but was still enjoyable. Wasn't quite sure what I was doing at first but that's due to not reading the instructions haha.

Once I realized I could pet the dog I was sold haha. I love the art, the game is beautiful! The windows version didn't work, the controls didn't work but I was able to use the HTML5 version.

Music reminds me of stardew valley after the 3rd level. Pushing the animals around was slightly tedious, a grab and throw might've been better, but harder to programme. I liked the small details like picking up an egg while a chicken was around made them angry lol

I played this game for a lot longer than I expected to. I had a lot of fun, you've managed to get a lot of levels into this game. I love how the animals are weighted, so a cow is harder to push than a chicken, and a pig is harder than a cow to push etc. Petting the dog to refill his bar for some reason is really satisfying. I liked the game a lot.

The jealous dog idea is very cute! Also the art is so nice and it's such a wholesome game. I think the movement could be a little more controlled, sometimes it felt tedious to not be able to push animals even though I felt like I was coming at it straight on -- but maybe that's just a characteristic of the gameplay! I really like this overall :)

Great game! Had a lot of fun pushing the animals in the barn. The only thing I did not get, is how many animals I have to push in there. Would be awesome if there would be this information on screen

Nice game, really good art! I like the credit scene ending when it zooms into the cow's eye!

The animals' animation is very cute. Although I don't quite understand the mechanism (Sometimes animals just don't go to the house and I don't know why), but I still try to cleared the game. It's quite fun!

Loved the art and the very fluid animations (especially the chicken). It was fun to play too, but maybe this farmer should spend some more time training his dog.

Cute game. Pushing cows around and petting a dog, what's not to like? I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing with the eggs; they seem to only earn you 2 seconds but take way longer than that to do anything with once you get swarmed by chickens.

Nice entry to the Jam. :) The concept is quiet funny and the art fits totaly. In the second level i lost to not-spawing chickens. :`D But otherwise: Well done!

Heya! This game was really sweet. I appreciated that the theme wasn't limited to just the pun, even though it's a good one. I thought the game mechanics and art were reasonable and there was plenty of content. The game was balanced well enough that it held my interest for the full playthrough as well, so props there. For me, the music is a real standout in this entry. Seriously, I couldn't stop jamming out mid-playthrough because of how amazing these tracks are. So good!

Overall, a solid entry. Thanks so much for making it!

Really cool entry. Loved the pixel art, especially the pigs ( I'm biased lol ). The animations were really detailed and every animal was just damn cute to look at. The main aim of the game was cool and did fit the theme but it was a little janky though. I kinda wished it was something like you hold on to the animales for a given period of time or something like that. Pushing them was fine but seemed a little too hard to get a good grip on them at times. The dog was a cool factor to watch out for. I'm still not sure what exactly the win condition was though. I ended up just pushing whatever animal was around me into the barn. A little more of a hint as to what exactly the win condition for a certain level is would make things a little more tight, though what I assumed later into the game was that you had to push atleast one of every animal type present into the barn. You already have animals with different behaviors and movements (i.e the horses being a little sporadic, chickens coming at you when you have eggs etc.). Having different combinations of them alone without the other types would maybe lead to some cool puzzles. The ostrich was not really much of a threat. I feel like it should have spawned a little more, though it's audio cue was nice. Either way though, the game is still fun and the visuals and audio are very cool. Speaking of which, the music for when you win is utterly glorious lol. Great entry

A lot of games make the mistake of including an unpettable dog. Thank you for making this important feature mandatory! I love the art, the sound, the variety of animals. Great work!
