Sherd by xlambein
A game about herding sheep!
You play as a sheepdog, your goal is to get all the sheep into the pen as fast as possible.
I didn't have time for polish, so there's no end screen. Once you get all sheep into the pen, you're done :]

I love the chunky line-art. The art-style is great. I wish there was some sound effects and maybe some obstascles and further decorations.
The idea is great and the flocking behaviour was very nice. The minimal animations worked well and it was nice to have a game that can be controlled simply by moving the mouse. If there were more levels it would be great.
Great minds think alike - Our team also made a sheep-dog game! :laughing:
Great sprites and super well executed, especially considering that you're running Compo and doing this all by yourself!!
5/5!
(I wrote a comment earlier but can't see it now so I'll try writing it again. If you see two copies that's why, sorry 😅)
Very cool idea and implementation! Worked very well and wasn't too frustrating :)
Whew, that entrance was tiny, I often got several sheep stuck just outside, because their collision areas couldn't fit through the gate side by side :smile:
I liked that there weren't complicated controls to learn, although I might've liked to have some sort of sprint function. Great graphics, too. Nice work!
Had to play twice to get my time down from 292s to 200s. Those sheep sure like getting stuck in corners, haha.
Anyway, I quite liked this one. The graphics are really nice and work well, as do the simple controls. I also liked it that there wasn't a time limit but one just tries to improve their record time, so I could just try things out on my own pace.
End screen would've been nice, and sounds and/or music nice extra also, but I totally understand the time pressure. And this was a great achievement working solo. Nice entry!
