Dog Herds Sheep

This game is about herding sheep from a brown fenced area into a teal fenced area. Since the sheep does not actually move or anything, it is essentially the same as pushing boulders. Maybe it would be slightly more interesting if the sheep moved around or moved away from you, in a bigger area instead. There are only 3 levels with the same gameplay mechanics and each level is a single screen only, so it will only take a few minutes to finish the game. All 3 levels are very simple and easy.

A purple crystal is included in each level for your convenience, which lets your reset the level if you mess up. It can also be used to turn the "baa" sound from the sheep on and off, which is a good idea since I can imagine the sound getting annoying after a while for some people. The short story scene for the dog at the start and end of the game was kind of cute too.

The sheep is pushed by simply walking up against it, so it can be easy to accidentally over-push or push while you're trying to walk. I would suggest using the action key to push instead. Sometimes it can be hard to tell where you can or cannot walk, because the width of some sprites are either undersized (like the tree stump) or oversized (like the animals). There's also a graphical glitch that the dog can walk on top of the bottom fences.

Since this seems to be someone's first game, and made for an event, it feels more like a demo, so I don't think I'll give it a score. I hope this review helps you with some insight for thinking about design choices. It was a good effort for a first game, but I do hope you'll think of a few more creative levels for your next game.
