What players say

Players say Herding Dog is a simple, kid-friendly game with short levels and colorful graphics, but it feels like a mobile port with bugs like animals clipping through the world and a repetitive music loop. Reviews split on whether it is a charming time-waster or too shallow and buggy to recommend.
