Only Farms: Tidy Up

Someone left all the gates open, and now 1,248 farm animals are wandering all over the island. Sheep, cows, horses, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, turkeys, geese and rabbits, all mixed up in one big meadow.

You are the shepherd. Bring every one of them back to its own cozy home, close the gates, and win a sunny little island back from the chaos.

Walk up behind an animal and it trots away from you. A gentle pat on the left sends it right, a pat on the right sends it left. Steer it down the path, through the gate, and it's home!

Chickens flap, rabbits leap and geese waddle off the moment you reach for them, but they tire out quickly. Grab one with SPACE, carry a whole row in your arms, and toss them right over the fence.

With the shepherd's crook, point at an animal and hold the button: it joins your little parade. Lead up to 15 at once, lined up in tidy rows, all the way home.

Toss some grain, straw, a carrot or a cabbage, and watch hungry animals come running. A snack in the right spot does half the herding for you.

Not everyone loves a pat on the bottom. Slap a horse from behind and it kicks. Annoy a goat three times and it charges with a headbutt. Either way you land flat on your back, watching stars spin above your head.

A little ginger cat lives on the farm. It rubs against your legs, purrs when you stroke it, and lets you pick it up for a cuddle. Call "pss-pss" and it comes running from anywhere on the island.

Every animal brought home earns XP. Teach your border collie to round up whole flocks with a whistle, and learn new tricks yourself: carry more, lead more, sprint further, and use the slingshot to scare off the falcon that swoops in to snatch your chickens.
