If you’ve ever struggled with the overwhelming urge to sell all your possessions and become a shepherd, or you just really love to play with sheep (that’s your business), then Peter und Vlad is right up your pasture.
Its look, feel, and gameplay are reminiscent of Flight Control, but this time you’re herding sheep instead of controlling the airspace above the world’s busiest airport. And as if a game about guiding sheep to a barn weren’t exhilarating enough, they added the danger of a wool-fueled, out of control weather machine that’ll gobble up any sheep that aren’t given sanctuary quickly enough. Zen mode leaves out the weather machine, giving you a chance to perfect your herding skills before stepping up to the big leagues.
Perfect (the verb) is the wrong word; hone might be a better choice. Sheep have a mind of their own and don’t always go where you want them to – a tidbit that’s often frustrating but always interesting. All you can do is get them moving in the right direction and monitor any missteps.
Peter und Vlad is as polished as a game of this ilk is going to be, and it’s casual enough that it’s perfect for wasting a minute or two at a time.
