Goal: you're the sheepdog. Herd enough sheep into the pen on the right before night falls.
Sheep stick together and run away from you. To move the flock, come at it from behind and push it through the gate on the pen's left side. You can't go into the pen yourself.
The top bar shows how many sheep you need (for example PENNED 3/5) and how long is left. Pen enough before the timer runs out to finish the day; the next day has more sheep.
Bark to make nearby sheep bolt and to scare off wolves. It needs a moment to recharge (the yellow bar under the dog).
Run is fast but tiring: the blue bar under the dog is your energy.
Wolves sneak in from the edges and drag sheep away. Get close to a wolf or bark at it and it drops the sheep and runs. If you lose so many sheep that you can't reach the target, the game ends.
Dog vs wolf (2 players)
One player is the dog, the other is the wolf. The dog wins by penning 8 sheep; the wolf wins by dragging 4 sheep off any edge of the field. If time runs out, whoever has more wins (a tie is a draw).
The wolf can lunge: a quick dash to grab a sheep.
On one device: the dog uses the arrow keys and Enter to bark; the wolf uses W A S D and Space to lunge.
Online: choose Online, then create a room and send your friend the link (or invite them from Friends). Whoever creates the room is the dog. Each of you uses the arrow keys or W A S D, and Space (BARK, or LUNGE for the wolf).
