[h1] PRE-BETA/RELEASE REVIEW[/h1] Please know that what I say in this review may NOT be in the final release of the game! [i] Now that thats out of the way [/i] Please ignore the hours, for whatever reason steam didnt wanna record them. [h1] Hearding Dog-What is it? [/h1] Hearding dog is a game that is meant for a younger audience. Being myself as a 17 Year old male, probably didnt reflect to the fullest due to my age, BUT I knew that would be an issue so I brought in my brother to play the game a bit. Il get into that later. Welcome to the dog life, where you catch birds. Chase pigs around and stop those pesky Fox's and Wolf's from harming your animal friends! Your dog has no name, this is where the creativity comes in for you or your child. Name your dog as you play. Make sure its something with meaning. If your kid cant remember what they named it write it down. Better yet, take an ingame screenshot from the pause menu and print it out for your child to hang on the fridge. As you or your child progreses through the game they will learn to bond with it. Even for me, I needed to make sure that I got all the tasks done and done right. I played through it and enjoyed it very well. So since I knew this was meant for a younger audience, I called my little brother over, sat him on my lap and watched him learn how the game mechanics worked. We plugged in his xbox controller and it worked like a charm. His eyes bounced on the screen as his mind conquered the little tasks that the game asked for him to do. As the joysticks clicked, so did his mind! The ingame tips helped him here and there as he did'nt fully understand why the other animals were running away from him. I had to explain to him that you were supposed to put them there and so on. Then the in-game tip showed up and he understood immediatly, After beating his first level that required and used this game mechanic he squeeled with excitment and continued to play. Thanks to the easy and basic menu layout, he was able to travel to the next level with ease. Did he care that the map was a little wonky here and there? Not at all. He just wanted to play with spud (Thats what he named him after catching his first bird) again. He knew that spud needed him to complete the task, and (What I told him) spud needs my little bro to complete his task. The perfect duo.He completed multiple levels before I went up and made supper, when I came back down he was 2 level farther then before. Almost to the end I knew, so I got him off to eat. While we ate he talked about him and spud were able to get passed certain obsticles, and how spud was chasing the pigs around the house for awhile ( Level 5 I believe ). He honestly enjoyed this game I can tell. He asked to play more and I simply said " I need to tell more people about this buddy, maybe after if it isn't close to your bedtime" So, from a childs perspective he loved it. Found it brilliant for his mind, and it definatly told him about loyalty and teamwork. Of course I did not have this experience as a teenager at the age of 17, but it was good enough for me to play to the end right? [h1] Pros [/h1] [list] [*] CHILDREN WILL LOVE THIS GAME [*] Teach kids about teamwork and self being [*] A fun and simple game meant for a younger audience, not many on steam! [*] Good gameplay and works well with a microsoft liscenced controller [*]You dont need a heavy PC to play this. I belive all the settings are auto configured for your PC [*] Ability to in-game screenshot [*] Simple yet affective game menu. Little bro whipped past it with ease [*] Spark convorsation with family, along with possibly getting a real dog for the adventures to continue! [*] Fun music that fits perfectly with what your playing [*] Achievements GALORE. Kids love seeing that pop up after completing a level! [/list] [h1] Cons [/h1] [list] [*] Will lag a bit here and there, nothing to serious but may be something fixable [*] The world map when changing levels is a bit wonky [*] Chasing pigs and the other animals can become a pain due to them not going the right way, maybe have some sort of auto-lead to the objective or a closer pull in radious of some sort [*] Using the WASD keys has ALOT of input lag, would recommend only using mouse or gamepad [/list] As I find more for the review I will add it in! Please keep in mind that this is a PRE-RELEASE review and does not condone the full end game. When the game releases hopefully most of the bugs and issues here and there are fixed. Not many have been found! I would also like to personnaly thank Juan ( The creator of the game ) for giving myself and my little bro the chance to play this game. He gave me the chance to review the game along with giving away a few copies for my group that can be found [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TakeMyGames] here [/url] It turned out to be much better then expected and I hope to see some DLC come out of it! Thanks alot for reading this ENTIRE review, as I hope to bring in more sales to this amazing Dev!
[h1]═══════════════════════════════════ OVERVIEW[/h1] [b]Herding Dog[/b] is a game that is very straightforward. You control a dog who has to help a farmer after he became sick. You control this dog with the mouse. Left click to set a location for the dog or hold to have it follow the cursor. Right click to make the dog bark. Barking at the farm animals that you are supposed to corral will cause them to spew chunks of poo while farting. The levels are very much the same with a variety of what seems to be 3 objectives: corral an animal, scare away a predator, and/or collect an item. In the time I have played I have visited 2/3 of the levels and received 10/13 achievements. http://store.steampowered.com/app/409290/ [h1]═══════════════════════════════════ PROS & CONS[/h1] [h1]Pros[/h1] [list] [*] Good for teaching mouse skills to young children [*] Color palette for the game is appealing [*] Can scare the crap out of animals by barking [*] Graphics are very simple [/list] [h1]Cons[/h1] [list] [*] While it is a short game, the lack of level variety works against the overall game [*] Intermittent bugs: immediately closing when hitting escape, animals run out of bounds [*] Two songs in current soundtrack, only one song will repeat for duration of level [*] Dialogue boxes pop up and take up considerable screen real estate which must be manually closed in time sensitive levels [*] Achievements are semi-bugged and will activate when conditions were not actually met [*] Two separate breaking bugs stopped me from progressing on two different attempts of the highest level I reached, at which point I gave up [*] Graphics are very simple [/list] [h1]═══════════════════════════════════ SUMMARY & FINAL RATING[/h1] The parent part of me would recommend this game for teaching a young child to use a mouse. There is no violence and the game mechanics are very simple and predictable from level to level. The gamer part of me would recommend against this game because it largely feels incomplete and several bugs exist, some of which stopped my progress. The developer seems to be still updating this game and this review represents the game state as of February 13, 2016.

Хочешь за 1 доллар (79руб) стать бета-тестером игры или протестировать гибрид пса-барана то эт сюда. Если б автор честно написал, что игра - ранний доступ, то все претензии были сняты. А так имеем одни минусы - застреваем во многих уровнях (этот песобаран на уровне 19 нашел единственное дерево и сумел застрять в нем, как бы решена проблема, но кто знает вдруг вы будете таким же счастливчиком - как я), исчезновение животных "опля копперфильд" и жуткий перевод промт - захватите этих козлов! 10 пукающих свинок из 10!
[h1]A Casual Kid-Friendly Game[/h1] https://youtu.be/6L5rfqMCHys + A large variety of short levels that each have very different goals and objectives + Good looking colorful graphics and textures + Very easy and relaxing game - A bit too easy, not much of a challenge - Sometimes it's hard to tell where you need to lead the animals to - The camera is in a somewhat odd fixed position above the dog making it hard to see where animals are or your surroundings. It would have been nice if you could adjust the camera or zoom out
Být recenzentem je zajímavá věc. Občas se vám do rukou dostane hra, kterou byste si v životě nekoupili a vy zjistíte, že je úžasná. A někdy se stane pravý opak. Do jaké kategorie se zařadí Herding Dog? [h1]Ovčácký pes vyráží do akce[/h1] Jak už název hry napovídá, vžijete se do kůže (nebo spíš srsti) ovčáckého psa. Váš úkol je jednoduchý - nahnat určité druhy zvířat na vyznačené místo, případně sebrat předem daný počet dobrot. Na začátku každé mise máte tedy určité úkoly, které se dělí do dvou kategorií: [olist] [*]Naženete prasata/krávy/slepice a další druhy zvířat na předem určené místo, kde na ně nemůžou útočit divoká zvířata nebo mimozemšťani (viz dále). [*]Posbíráte psí žrádlo, různé lahvičky a podobně. [/olist] K tomu sem tam musíte vyplašit ptáky. A abyste to neměli tak jednoduché, máte tu i protivníky. Těmi jsou celkem očividně divoké šelmy, mezi nimiž najdete jak lišky, tak i vlky. Pokud si je neohlídáte, můžete prohrát level, protože vám všechny vaše chráněnce sežerou. Obrana je jednoduchá - stejně jako domácí zvířata, i vaši nepřátelé mají předem určené místo, kam je můžete zahnat a oni vám přestanou lovit vaše zvířecí přátele. Hra se snaží, leč neúspěšně, hrát i na vtipnou strunu. Takže když máte level, kde naháníte krávy, počítejte místo divokých zvířat spíše s mimozemskými talíři. Vzhledem k tomu, že létají ve vzduchu, nemůžete se jich nijak zbavit a jsou dost rychlí, takže než se nadějete, jste bez krav a musíte restartovat level. A pak nesmím zapomenout na sbírání masa, jenž nesou krabi ve svých klepetech. Ano, čtete správně, jsou tu i krabi. [h1]Plejáda bugů a nedodělků[/h1] Princip hry je tedy jasný a pochopí ho i šestileté dítě. Které si hru asi i užije, ale po dvaceti minutách si i ono uvědomí jednu věc - tahle hra je až děsivě stereotypní a nedotažená. Váš psí parťák může sem tam projít plotem, velkými kameny nebo se jako Ježíš prochází po vodě. Některá zvířata jsou občas rychlá, občas strašně pomalá a až příliš často se zasekávají o věci. Někdy se váš chráněnec objeví pod zemí, což má za následek restart levelu. A sem tam může některé zvíře překročit hranici mapy a zaseknout se mimo ni, kam vy samozřejmě nemůžete, což také vede k restartu. Ale i kdyby tu tyhle bugy nebyly, stále je tu hromada dalších věcí, které vám budou kazit herní zážitek. Hra jako je tahle staví na umělé inteligenci. Ta je tu mizerná. Nechci, aby zvířata byla extrémně inteligentní, ale když naháníte více jak minutu jedno prase, které ne a ne jít směrem, jakým jej naháníte, začnete v sobě pociťovat vztek a budete chtít tuhle blbost ihned vypnout. Naštěstí inteligence nepřátel není taky žádný zázrak, takže se jich dá celkem rychle zbavit. [h1]Špatná technická stránka[/h1] A v negativech budeme pokračovat. Chápu, že tato grafická stylizace má své kouzlo a zpočátku se vám bude i líbit, jenže pak si uvědomíte, že to celé působí tak nějak dětinsky, že díky nerovnostem terénu, které jsou tu rozvrženy celkem nelogicky, se zvířata neustále o něco zasekávají a je noční můrou je mnohdy zahnat do vytoužené lokace. Totéž by se dalo říct i o hudbě. Během prvních pár minut si budete říkat, jak skvěle doplňuje tento titul. No a pak si vlastně budete myslet to samé, protože jak hra, tak i hudba je těžký podprůměr. Jedna jediná skladba se opakuje až do zemdlení a pokud se vám neomrzí, máte můj velký obdiv. Jen pro úplnost doplním, že nastavení hry je, stejně jako zbytek, podprůměrné. Můžete zde nastavit pouze jazyk, rozlišení a pak to, zda chcete mít úroveň detailů normální nebo nízkou. Úžasné. [h1]Noční můra farmáře[/h1] Zpočátku je hra zábava. Jenže se vše opakuje a největší výzvou je dohrát další level, aniž by vás překvapil bug, kvůli kterému byste museli danou část restartovat. A to jsem se nezmínil ještě o věci, která tuhle hru pohřbí ještě více. Levely jsou náhodně generovány. Ano, čtete správně. Žádný příběh, žádná hloubka, prostě dělej jednu věc dokolečka, dokud tě to neomrzí. Což omrzí a to snad i malé děti, pro které je zjevně určena. Upřímně ani netuším, jak je možné, že tahle hra má tolik kladných hodnocení na Steamu. I ta tři eura za tuhle hru jsou moc. [h1]Plusy[/h1] + zajímavé téma + prvních pár minut zábava + tvůrce hry je aktivní na Steamu a reaguje na podněty uživatelů [h1]Mínusy[/h1] - po čase nuda, nuda a zase nuda - hromada bugů - po deseti minutách nástup stereotypu - jedna jediná skladba opakující se ve smyčce - nic moc grafická stylizace - žádný příběh - nízká motivace dokončit level - náhodné generování levelů - vysoká cena vzhledem ke „kvalitám“ hry - a spousta dalších věcí [h1]Konečný verdikt[/h1] [b]Mé hodnocení: 1/10[/b] Možná jsem až příliš přísný. Hra je mířena na děti, takže pro ně to může být na chvíli zábava. Jenže je tu tolik negativ, která přebíjí pozitiva, až si člověk říká, že tuhle hru nemá prostě smysl ani zapínat. Pokud neusnete nudou nebo nezačnete nadávat během prvních dvaceti minut tohohle díla, máte skutečně můj obdiv. Hra je to tak špatná, že jí uděluji nejnižší hodnocení, jaké jsem kdy dal. Opravdu se jí vyhněte obloukem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx40DmNF_Us
Ok, so let's see what we have here. Game for toddlers, almost unplayable even for old grey gaming wolves like me (since times of C64). Achievements are broken, few of them, so no 100% game for those who love to complete it all. You are some kind of guard dog on...some farm...or who knows what it is. You need to defend and gather animals and to pick up some random objects, just to be collected, for no reason of course. And animals VERY often fell off the game's cliff and than they are in limbo. Restart level please. Also pickup items can be beneath the surface, untakeable. Restart again please (because, you know, I will uninstall and refund, but my 3yr toddler son told me to catch all cows, so...). No minimap, ugly polygon terrain with so many glitching places, sound bugs everywhere, especially when dog bark (music stops for one second). And so on and on. Game is so utter garbage that I cannot believe. This is pre-alpha state of one (very) bad game. And just one more thing, on some levels you must defend cows from one fox. If you watch somewhere else for quite short time, fox will butcher all 3 cows on the level. Yes, FOX will kill 3 cows! Awesome.
牧羊犬 模拟器? 基本每关的目标都是寻找一定数量的物品,或者保护一定数量的家畜达到指定地点、并且防止野兽攻击 玩下来就是挺无聊的,每关都会给评价 和积分,但完全不知道有啥用处 后续关卡就是换个场景,加点数量,玩法上完全没有更新
Another tablet / anrdoid / iPhone game makes its' way to Steam. Don't expect anything grand here. The controls are your typical hold mouse 1 and never let go. Basically it's poorly brought over. The music never stops once it starts and is on an infinite loop. The graphics are as simple as you could expect. Every level beat will reward you with a condecending clapping noise and off you go. The menus look stretched and low resolution with no retouching. There are no options to speak of. This is another one of those decent android games people would say, but it holds no candle over the PC games. It's cheap but for what you get it has to be cheap. Only people I would recommend this to is people with Windows 10 laptops / tablets that have touch control and even for them I can hardly recommend it as it's a very boring tedious game.
This game is really nice and my children love it, especially youngest. It's relaxing and fun. While game is in active development new patches are coming from developer regularly, bugs are fixed, new features introduced and that is very good. I've been playing this game on mobile before and it looks really good over there too. Music is fun, but repetitive although in the newest update now you can choose what to listen. I'm sure more and more tracks will be introduced, and may be ability to "randomize" playlist. As the game is in early access, so reviews like mine are not good representation of the current status of the game as more and more bugs are eliminated, reviews are outdated quickly, that why I'd recommend this game but not white about bugs :D
Interesting concept. Ideal game for young kids. No violence and entertaining. Maybe some levels are a bit tricky and need a little more explanation about what to do, but the game is beautiful. Still needs some polishing and adjust some parameters, but the developer is updating the game constantly, so I think it will be an interesting buy.
