And it has a doggo. it cute. I enjoyed playing what little I did of the game. When I wrote this review, I had like... 12 minutes on record? Not too sure. The music (some of it) is relaxin' and fits the mood. Not sure if there's a way to keep it at one song? Although the game is really cute and awesome and has a "bark bark" button, I do have some complaints.My complaints are:- The doggo stops every now and then when you're movin' around. No bueno. Fix that.- The intro to the game. Call it a nitpick if you will, but those smilies in the beginning are atrocious and have no business of being there. I believe simple grunts would work fine. And why does the dude just lay on the ground in front of the door? C'mon.- The hud seems kinda... I dunno. Generic? Livin it up a bit. I guess that's about it. The last too don't necessarilly bug me THAT much, but those are my complaints. Definetely look into fixing the movement though. Please.bork bork. Two things :- Farting animals.- Making the dog run in the world map is so relaxing.Worth it.. http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=1332219401It has a couple issues.. What is Herding Dog ?Bought this because it looked good in the steam preview videos and because as a dog lover I wanted to play a dog-themed game because sadly there aren't many options for that, however, herding dog is just a poor mismatch of bad ideas and design decisions, I thought it would have been just a competent indie title doing its job, I was wrong, i don't know if its a mobile port but playing it on PC is pretty bad because the controls feels unresponsive and the AI clips a lot and while the soundtrack is OK who thought having those samey repetitive missions conducting the cattle to the barnyard was a good idea ?? thats a completely unfun game design you got there, I tried to finish it but stopped at mission 14 out of 21, I couldn't take it anymore, doing the same and frustrating thing over and over again is just plain bad game design, this is just a boring slog, stay away from it, not even toddlers would have fun playing this.Just stay away.. I kept writing trying to submit a review, and either it hated me saying "fart" or I am gonna see 154 posts of my review on Herding Dog tomorrow morning...So, for brevity's sake, and maybe so I can post a comment and update with my full and actual thoughts LATER, I will leave you with:Badger: In summation, I think you just got to not do it, man. That's all.Mr. Fox: I understand what you're saying, and your comments are valuable, but I'm gonna ignore your advice.Don't ignore Badger's advice, Foxy.UPDATE:UHG! I don't know why I couldn't post my full review. It seems like "fart" is an okay word, but who knows. Here are my full thoughts, as I wish to share them with the dev and with other gamers.The UI is not pretty, but much worse of a flaw, it is not informative. We need a *working* HUD with objectives on the screen - ALWAYS - with real time updates as we progress through them. Sometimes I had 0%, or 0\/0 HUDs. Sometimes I had nothing on my screen. Sometimes I would pen the sheep and the game wouldn't end. I needed to get a bucket of "Item +1" that was off on the far corner of the map. How did I know this? Only because the game didn't end when I penned the sheep and I started running around. This is not good. I shouldn't have to guess what I need to do. Add a minimap or directional markers to let me know where my sheep are, my home is and maybe - or maybe not - where the predators are. Make your buttons say Play! not "paw shape". Buttons, HUDs, minimaps-- every UI element should be clear as to what it is telling the player. The world map - it looked okayish in the screenshots, but my map was of a view where all I could see was the dog and the "level" he was at. I couldn't see the next levels. I had no idea what I was doing - or should do - and then I pressed in a few places. One worked and he ran a long way off to level two. It's not a world map if I don't see the world. And all I saw was one level at a time with no context. Again. Make things clear to the player, every level, every objective, every update to the objectives and the rating they might be getting. I mean, aliens - I think - abducted one of my pigs, but I have no idea, honestly. There were coyotes there, too. I didn't see it happen. I was not told ALIENS ABDSUCTED YOUR PIGLET OH NO! Which could be something funny, as well as informative. Because of the bad UI I have no idea why I would get a "D" score when I got 3\/5 pigs but a "C" score when I rescued only 1 sheep. Makes no sense and I have no visual feedback as to WHY that is the case. The in-game HUD should tell me what is going on and the scoreboard should be a recap.There is very little AI. I mostly found myself trying to be between the sheep and the wolf. The wolves never stopped or ran away when I barked. The sheep never stopped, or ran, when I barked. But they did fart blood! Which makes no sense. I wasn't near them. Or biting them. I certainly couldn't bite wolves or make them fart blood. But sheeps fart blood when I bark and it doesn't kill them or do anything but make em fart blood. TOOT TOOT TOOT! I mean, I guess it's funny, but uh... yea. I run around between the wolves and sheep. The wolves never stop trying to get the sheep, running directly at them in a constant b-line, and only turn away when I turn towards them. But they instantly turn back to run at the sheep the moment I turn away. Barking doesn't scare them. It doesn't call the farmer. It seems pointless except for the farting sheep joke aspect. The stock could be dopey but the predators shouldn't be. And even though sheep are a little fluffy-brained, they don't stand there to get mauled by a wolf. I mean, if they run away from me - farting blood at my barks - then they should run from the wolves, too. It's just common sense. I don't know where you wanna go with this but it seems like something needs to be done to make it more realistic or more interesting, with more depth. Right now I am just mousing between A and B. An A that wants to eat B, and a B that is afraid of me, but not of A, who wants to eat him. Mr. Dev: You are asking people to buy this game and it's not finished, and you don't say that. It sounds like your friend wrote a long review for you, calling you by name and adding a lot of imagined depth to the game that I am just not seeing. It sounds like he knows exactly what you want this game to be, but that seems to actually further highlight what the game isn't yet. You need to let people who are paying money for this game know it's not finished, or they are just going to be annoyed with you, downvote your game and\/or ask for a refund. You may say "Well this game is for kids!" but like the unfinished alpha game info-- you don't say that anywhere on your store page! And I like kid's things. I love cartoons, kid's books and kid's games. Just because a game is for children does not excuse poor UI design, poor gameplay direction, etc.I hope you make this game what you invision, because I love dogs, especially Border Collies (hint hint) and Babe. See? I love childish things, and this game has potential, but right now it's not worth as much time as I've spent playing and reviewing it. Best of luck, and hope you can update this game to meet your dream's potential.. Two things :- Farting animals.- Making the dog run in the world map is so relaxing.Worth it.. This game is really nice and my children love it, especially youngest. It's relaxing and fun. While game is in active development new patches are coming from developer regularly, bugs are fixed, new features introduced and that is very good. I've been playing this game on mobile before and it looks really good over there too.Music is fun, but repetitive although in the newest update now you can choose what to listen. I'm sure more and more tracks will be introduced, and may be ability to "randomize" playlist.As the game is in early access, so reviews like mine are not good representation of the current status of the game as more and more bugs are eliminated, reviews are outdated quickly, that why I'd recommend this game but not white about bugs :D. Cool game for kids, but not sure if it would be a better mobile game. Nice style and great music\/sounds.
