Bark and Park is a charming herding puzzle game where you play as a shepherd and their trusty border collie. Work together to round up scattered sheep, guide them through gates, and park them safely in their pens. FEATURES: - Switch between the Shepherd and Dog with a single tap - Use the Dog's bark to herd sheep and the Shepherd's whistle to guide them - Sprint to cover ground quickly when time is running out - Close gates to secure your flock once all sheep are parked - 9 unique levels with increasing challenge and complexity - A relaxing Mandatory Break level to unwind with your dog - Beautiful hand-painted terrain and environments - Intuitive mobile controls with virtual joystick HOW TO PLAY: Tap to cycle between controlling the Dog, the Shepherd, or having the Dog follow you.
