Lead your herd in this wacky and chaotic puzzle game! Herding animals is tough, especially when there are predators, traps, and total mayhem at every turn! Can you guide your herd through the perilous world without losing too many along the way?
The Herd
SteamYour herd is clueless, clumsy, and constantly in danger, but it’s up to you to get them to their destination! In The Herd, you’ll guide a stampede of not-so-bright animals through a world filled with ridiculous hazards, sneaky predators, and total mayhem. Use a variety of wacky tools to steer them clear of danger, or just embrace the chaos and see what happens!
Launch Pad: Some herd members need a little “motivation.” Fling them across obstacles and take control of their fate, whether they like it or not!

Fire: Your animals might not be bright, but this fire sure is, and the herd will tend to avoid it. Use it to steer them in the right direction (or just wreak havoc on the environment and watch the ensuing chaos).

Wall: Herd bouncing off in all directions? Plop down a wall to rebound them into submission!

Fan: Need a little extra push? Give your herd a gusty nudge with a well placed fan.

Fence: Solid objects are scary. Block the wrong paths and funnel your herd where you actually want them to go!
Dog: Nothing clears a crowd like a barking dog! Use these feisty puppers to spook your herd into moving in the right direction.
