In Ship the Sheep, you play as a shepherd and their dogs trying to wrangle their sheep!

In this short-but-sweet puzzle game, you must navigate your sheep to the barn by using your dogs to push them around, within the time limit.

Backstory:

You run a Sheep Delivery Service™, and the first step to getting an order of sheep to your next client is to herd them all into the barn for quick packing. The tighter you can pack them the cheaper the shipping costs will be of course!

You offer same-day shipping, so it's imperative you get your sheep together before night falls!

As a distinguished personality with a contemporary-arts degree, you enjoy fine aesthetics which explains why you designed your sheep pens to look so interesting... It certainly doesn't make your job easier.

Good thing your loyal dogs are here to help!

Controls:

• Select a dog using left click. When a dog is selected, left click anywhere to move the selected dog.
• To unselect a dog, right click anywhere.
• SPACE to switch dog
• 1-9 to select a specific dog
• R to restart the level
• Q to quit the level

Pay attention, you may have multiple dogs to think about!

This version of Ship the Sheep comes with 5 challenge levels each varying in difficulty, as well as a calmer sandbox level with no timer to enjoy running around with the sheep without worries :)
