Woolly Nudge

Introduction

Woolly Nudge is a cozy grid puzzle from bokorgames in which a helpful herding dog has one job: get every sheep into a pen. The twist is that the dog can push but never pull, so the direction and order of your moves decide whether a level opens up or a sheep ends up trapped in a corner. Undo is unlimited and restarting is instant, which makes it comfortable to test an idea, back out, and try a different route. There are 40 handmade levels divided among four farms. Each farm introduces another element to work around, including ponds, slick ice that changes how sheep slide, and one-way gates that force you to commit to a direction. Levels can award up to three stars for finishing in fewer steps, and the developer says every level has been checked to be solvable. Progress stays in your browser, so there is no account to create. The game runs in a browser on phone, tablet, or desktop. On a keyboard, move and push with the arrow keys or WASD; Z undoes and R restarts. On a touch screen, swipe or use the on-screen arrows. There are no ads.
