Very cute little puzzle game! I beat it in under an hour, and that's really my only complaint is that it isn't longer. Such a cute little experience, i loved the little world we were in, I hope the developer made some great games after this one :)

Nice short free game. Be a shepherd collect your sheep, staying away from the wolves. Different sheep have different abilities. Solve basic maze style puzzles as you go. Pros: Decent graphics, sound and controls. Cons: short game approx. an hour, one of the sheep types the controls weren't explained clearly so took some figuring out. Maybe add achievements. Some people complain of not being able to continue, but I played it through in one sitting. Overall a quick logic type game, Could be potentially expanded by adding more levels, time run, achievements etc. But worthwhile spending 60-90 mins on this if you like solving straightforward puzzles.

Loved the game so much! my only issue was my sheep glitching on the bridge and not being able to recall. id keep playing but the only fix is leaving the level and starting the puzzle over again. I loved the art style, Keep up the good work!! <3
