Intro
Today is a great day for you! Mum and Dad finally trust you enough to let you take care of your own flock. They taught you to bark, growl and lead them in any direction you want. So now, you are ready to deliver the sheep in the most magnificent place around. Find the juicy grass, guide them to it, and enjoy a lovely nature walk!

How to play:
- Find the sheep in the area
- Lead them to the thick grass like a real herding dog
To help you, you can:
Bark to spread the flock : (Space key / X button on Xbox controller) Growl to freeze the sheep : (X/E key / B button on Xbox controller) Dash to speed up and bounce : (Shift / A button on Xbox controller)

Otherwise, a fantastic idea that was also well implemented. Small stuff like collision detection with trees could still be adjusted but that's really only small stuff. The theme and the artstyle fit together wonderfully. Feels really comfortable to collect the sheep.
It was really a lot of fun. Bork Bork!
I tried to play the game in browser first but I think there's a little too much going on for it to run properly - I found the controls were really unresponsive so I downloaded the game and then it ran perfectly. It's really satisfying rounding up a herd of sheep and then herding them all together in a big group. My only complaint is that sheep would sometimes get stuck at the boundaries of the level, and they were really hard to get moving again - since it seems like you don't need all the sheep herded to complete the level though this wasn't too much of an issue.
Overall I really enjoyed the game, great job!
The controls pop-ups are a bit small, so it took me a while to figure out the growl.
I did find it a little frustrating with the sliding dog like a high-speed car as opposed to moving like a dog, but in the time given this is a really fun little game.
Maybe in future a key to switch perspectives would be great, I actually had a lot more fun playing zoomed in/3rd person as opposed to top down.
Well done!
Has a blast tho, great work!!
Really cute art for the succes of a level and the sheep being little oval jumping up and down are really cool ... wait is this sheep doing break dance ?

- I wish I could bark while moving
- I wish I could unscare sheep so I won't have to wait
Great game, and a great take on the theme!
Unfortunately, the game was super laggy in browser. The controls were pretty good and the sheep AI seemed to be quite responsive.
Although the music was really well done, I didn't feel like it suited the game too well. I think something more ambient and relaxing would have fit a lot better here.
Great submission!
Well done ☺️
Graphics were on point. The art style is so good and really matches the gameplay.
I did find it a little hard to understand if I got my sheep in the correct spot. That was my only small problem.
