How does the sheepdog's proximity radius work?

Sheep detect the dog when it enters a fixed distance and flee in the opposite direction — they ignore the dog when it stays outside that range.

What happens if a sheep escapes the field boundary?

The sheep returns to a random spot on the field while the timer keeps running — escapes cost time rather than ending the level immediately.

Can sheep block each other at the pen entrance?

Sheep queue at the pen gate and enter one at a time — pushing too many toward the gate simultaneously creates a short bottleneck.

Sheep: Into the Pen!

Puzzle Games

Овечки: Все в Загон! is a herding puzzle where you direct a sheepdog to round up scattered sheep before the timer runs out. The mechanic that makes it harder than it looks is the dog's influence radius: sheep only start fleeing when the dog enters a fixed proximity zone, so positioning the dog behind the whole group pushes all of them toward the pen simultaneously rather than scattering them.

Move the sheepdog around the field using directional controls. Sheep that sense the dog approaching flee in the opposite direction. Position the dog behind the flock to drive sheep toward the open pen gate. Field obstacles — rocks and fences — create corridors that either help channel the flock or block the approach angle. A level clears when all sheep are inside; the gate closes automatically.

Suited for casual players and kids 8-12 who enjoy puzzle games without combat. Works without prior gaming experience. Tip: don't chase individual sheep — chasing one splits the flock, making the rest harder to gather. Position behind the full group and let the proximity radius push them all at once.
