Sheepkeeper

Herd the Flock. Avoid Hazards. Reach the Barn. Earn Stars!

Sheepkeeper is a cozy local co-op herding game where you take on the role of cartoon sheepdogs and guide a flock of sheep through levels.

Work together with another player, use barking and special abilities to control the flock, avoid environmental hazards, and bring as many sheep as possible safely to the barn. The more sheep you rescue, the more stars you earn!

Gameplay

Guide your flock from start to finish while keeping the sheep alive. Barking pushes the sheep away from your dog, allowing you to steer, split, gather, and redirect the flock.

But be careful! Sheep can easily scatter or wander into danger. Cooperation and good positioning are the key to success.

Features
