Sheepherds

You and your sheepdog buddies guide fluffy flocks through colorful flower fields to dye their wool…and make cool clothes for you and your friends. Take your time and have fun barking, running and discovering magical places together— or take on challenges to win treats!

  • Master The Flock: The sheep follow and influence each other, just like in real life. Learn to manage them like a good sheepdog, by positioning yourself strategically and barking at just the right moment! Or, just do whatever: after all, you're a dog.
  • Spice it up With Bonus Challenges: Add an extra layer of depth with optional challenges designed to test your skills and teamwork. These features provide a rewarding experience for those seeking more engaging gameplay, while remaining entirely optional for a relaxed session.
  • Not Just Any Dog – Your Dog: Turn your well-earned treats into exciting rewards! Unlock a variety of stylish accessories, colorful outfits, and unique skins to personalize your sheepdog. From corgis to pugs, choose from 15 different lovable breeds. Mix and match your favorite combinations to create a look that perfectly reflects your style and makes your dog stand out in the flock.
  • Small Scope, Big Heart: Sheepherds! doesn't try to do everything—it focuses on what matters most: cooperation and playfulness. Every detail, from the sheep's behaviors to the lovingly crafted landscapes, is designed to deliver a polished experience that will leave you smiling.
  • Herd With Friends Near & Far: Although it can be enjoyed solo, Sheepherds! is designed to be played together, whether you're side by side on the couch or connecting from across the globe.
