Entry for the 2004 Wolverine Soft Game Development Contest Extravaganza!
Theme: Freedom.

You are a shepherd who owns a flock of 4 sheep. They graze in a meadow, surrounded by a dark forest. Today, the sheep have decided that they want to be free, so they are attempting to leave the meadow. What they don't know is that there are wolves living in the forest that will shred a sheep to bits the moment it steps foot in the forest. You must contain your sheep using fences to save them from their own foolishness.

The sheep are seeking freedom. You are trying to stop them from being free so that they aren't killed by the wolves.

Controls

Space = start game
P = pause
Left mouse click = place a vertical fence
Right mouse click = place a horizontal fence

Objective

Keep at least one sheep alive until the timer runs out.
Beat all 6 levels before running out of lives.

Gameplay

A sheep is killed if it enters the forest (the dark area at the edges of the screen).
Prevent the sheep from dying by placing fences to contain them.
You can only place as many fences as you have sheep remaining (4 at the start).
When you place a 5th fence, the oldest fence on the screen will disappear.

Gameplay Tips

-Try to form a box around the sheep to hold them in place.

-Try to keep all the sheep close together.
