Important notice:

Many people don't seem to spot out that there is a button in the upper left corner which lets you recruit dogs and sheep to help you out. It disappears when the night starts and reappears when the next day begins. You can't team up with more than one a day so watch out not to miss it. And some quick tips, if you have a hard time with the game, you should recruit dogs and for more of a challenge, you can try solo only with sheep (I was able to pull it off and I'm not much of a gamer).

Game jam:

This video game was made for the Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2. The theme was "Calm before the storm".

About the game:

Wolves are at the gate and you must take care of the sheep in order to survive.

Use WASD or arrow keys to move and Space to bark. Barking scares away the sheep, making them move in the opposite direction. Barking also damages the wolves that come attack the sheep at night. Every day, you can team up with one out of a small selection of dogs and sheep. Dogs help you out with defending and herding the sheep, while the sheep represent your health and the game ends if all of them are dead. Also, at the start of the day, your team's health is replenished.

Good luck and may you resist till the 6th day!

Bugs:

It seems that "quit" doesn't work very well in the browser. And the music doesn't start until you click or move. Any help to find out why any of these happen and how to fix them would be appreciated. And there may be a lot of typos, inconsistencies and other bugs.

About music and SFX:

Some of the sound effects were cut and separated into pieces, a fading effect was added in-game to the songs that I'm not sure if it really works and most of the songs don't play in their entirety. I hope I didn't do something that I shouldn't have done to the music and SFX and that I did give proper credits and such.
