Our take on Animal Herding

The defining detail is its split task: fence construction and animal control happen at the same time, so progress depends on handling both before animals escape.

What is Animal Herding?

Animal Herding is a multitasking game about a farmer repairing ruined fences while preventing animals from escaping.

Players must react quickly and handle different tactics for chickens, foxes, hedgehogs, moles, and cats. The game includes 40 story levels across 5 chapters, 5 boss battles, and 6 extra-hard boss challenges. Animal deliveries must be sorted while there is limited time to act. Endless mode offers 3 variations with escalating difficulty. The story follows a farmer whose fences have been destroyed and whose problems grow as foxes hunt chickens, hedgehogs complicate herding, and cats cause mayhem. It also raises the question of who or what destroyed the fences.
