Description

A casual herding game for one or two players, designed as an experiment in herding AI. Guide your flock to the exit gate, but don't let them touch electric fences! See how many sheep you can save in each level. Single player, co-op and competitive modes available.

Made as part of the Summer 2014 collaboration project at http://www.reddit.com/r/hobbygamedev/

How to Play

WASD or arrows for movement, tab or space for sprint. Or try a USB game pad (e.g. PS4).

This is quite the hidden gem. I found the herding AI impressive. I haven't found the pattern yet!

Thank you very much, I appreciate that. By far the biggest chunk of development time went into the AI so I'm glad it was worth it.

I particularly like how the farmer has cranked up the electric fence strength so high that it vaporises the sheep. Not just kills, vaporises!

He's not a very clever farmer.

was it the same AI for sheeps and lambs?

Yes, the lambs are just scaled down versions of the adult sheep. A bit of cheat really ;)
