Sheep? Sheep.

Meh, Sheep is Sheep.

--------------------------------------------

A lone sheepdog watches an empty pasture.
A UFO appears. A sheep falls out. Then another. 

Something's off with these sheep but the dog doesn’t question it —

"Meh, Sheep is Sheep",  he mumbles... 

UFOs occasionally beam in more “sheep.” The dog remains unfazed.

Survive as long as possible.

Lose too many sheep and the pasture goes quiet again.

The dog sits. And waits for the sky to drop sheep again

About the game 🐑

A small top-down herding arcade survival where you try to keep a growing, panicking flock alive against wolves rushing in from the forest. Orbit the flock to keep them tight, use two dash types to control the chaos, and try not to skid yourself into disaster when a dash goes wrong.

-------------------------------------------

Controls 🎮

Movement:
  • WASD – Move
  • Space / LMB – Stun Dash (1 dmg + brief stun)

  • Shift – Sprint

  • Sprint + Dash - Long Dash (2 dmg, sends wolves fleeing)

Other:
  • Enter – Submit name (online leaderboard)

  • R – Restart

  • ESC - Pause / Unpause

  • F10 - "Retro" filter ON/OFF

-------------------------------------------

Features ⚙️

  • Orbit-the-flock herding — keep the sheep clumped by circling and nudging them inward.
  • Dash → bounce combat — short dash deals 1dmg to wolf, long dash deals 2dmg.

  • Skid penalty — missed dashes lock the dog into a sliding skid, forcing commitment and risk.

  • UFO drop system — unpredictable sheep reinforcements with light spawn jitter to avoid overlaps.

  • Endless pressure curve — wolf waves escalate while the rest window slowly grows to keep long runs fair.

  • Online global leaderboard (Talo) — automatic submissions with burst refresh after each run.

  • CRT retro filter (F1 toggle) — optional VHS-style visuals, resets to ON each session.

  • Score formula:
    Score = Time × Flock × Wolves Shoo’d (calculated every second)
    (Zeros become ones to keep the multiplier alive)
