You have a dog. You have a flock with a mind of its own. Between them and a warm pen lie meadows, rivers, canyons and wolf-prowled woods. Sheep It! is a cozy little herding puzzler about reading a nervous flock and gently bending it to your will.

The sheep aren't scripted — they flock, spook and scatter with a life of their own (their herd behaviour was grown by neuroevolution). Your job is to work with that, not fight it.

How you herd

• The dog follows your cursor — where you stand, the flock flows away from.
• Bark (left click) for a sharp shove when you need to break a logjam.
• The Eye (hold right mouse) — quiet, precise pressure to nudge a single stray without panicking the whole herd.

What's in the valley

• A campaign across five moods — sunny meadows, the family farm, a river crossing, high canyons and a foggy forest where the wolves come out.
• Sort by colour and by count into the right pens.
• Feed the flock: graze levels where every sheep must be full and penned — watch the apple meters fill.
• Wolves that stalk your flock — bark to drive them off and keep everyone safe.
• Ford rivers (mind the deep water), thread rocky canyons, and beat your best times on challenge levels.

Cozy by design

Soft pastel low-poly art, drifting cloud shadows, wildflowers, butterflies and fireflies, a tail that wags when you pen a sheep, and three times of day across the journey. Plays right in your browser.
