Submission for GameDev.TV Jam 2026

In this game, you're the shepherd guiding his sheepdog to herd sheep into the shearing shed. The goal is to get all the sheep to the shed before time runs out.

Controls

Click on the ground where you want the dog to go. You can click on gates to open them, and you can use an electric fence to help guide the sheep by clicking and dragging from the power points. There's only fence so if you try to extend another, the existing one will disappear.

About

You may be wondering what the weird title is? Phil Drabble was the host of a popular show on the BBC in the UK called One Man and his Dog. Although I wasn't basing it on this! I was watching footage of One Man and his Droid, a Mastertronic game from the 1980's, and I thought it was a game in need of a little update.

Issues/Limitations

As usual with jamming, there are some things I didn't have time to tackle, including:

• Sheep logic needs some tweaking, they really like hedges and don't seem to like the grass at all!
• Needs a tune
• The audio doesn't know it needs to shut up at times
• Needs more levels
