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. Use the joystick to move, bark to scatter nearby sheep in the direction you want, and carefully guide them through open gates into parking areas. Once all sheep are parked, close every gate to complete the level. Each level introduces new layouts, more sheep types, and trickier gate configurations. Plan your route, use both characters strategically, and beat the clock! Perfect for casual players and puzzle fans alike. Quick sessions, satisfying gameplay.
