Features
Read full description

Wolves in the pasture. Sheep everywhere. One shepherd to save them all. The Shepherd is a fast pixel arcade game where every run is simple to start and hard to put down. Call your flock, herd sheep into fresh grass, feed them up, then rush everyone home before the wolves break through. FEATURES: • HERD THE FLOCK - Move fast, call sheep close and guide them through the field. • FEED EVERY SHEEP - Hungry sheep will not go home. Keep the flock moving. • STOP THE WOLVES - Time your attacks, use Firecrackers and call the Shepherd Dog when danger spikes. • CHASE THE NEXT LEVEL - Bigger flocks, smarter wolves and cleaner saves. • CHILL FLOCK MODE - A calmer pasture when you just want to play. • TOUCH AND KEYBOARD SUPPORT - Play your way on supported devices. • GAME CENTER - Push your best level and collect achievements. • OPTIONAL EXTRAS - Extra shepherd styles and assist packs are available as in-app purchases. Quick to learn. Tense in seconds. Full of tiny saves, close calls and “one more try” moments. Keep the flock together. Bring every sheep home.

The call
