About
Grab some mates and throw them on the couch, it's time to herd some sheep! Competitive sheepherding for 2-8 local players. Fast-paced sheepherding action! Pick a team, red vs. blue, then get as many sheep as you can back into your stable. Input is simple and straightforward; a thumbstick to move and a button to bark. Bark at the sheep to scare them away from you, straight into your team's stable. Though beware, because barking scares away all sheep in a radius, even those behind you. Play with up to 8 players at the same time. You read that right! Play with 2 to 8 players at the same time. Teams have no restrictions, so go wild! Don't have 8 controllers? That's fine, Sheep with Mates supports 2 players per controller and 4 on keyboard! So you can hand half of your controller to a friend to play. Hand it to a foe for some extra fun!
