Steam: Sheepdog vs. UFOs – this free game has 100% positive reviews
SMRTR summary
Buddy the herding dog has a superpower most canines would envy: his bark can repel alien spacecraft. This unusual premise drives Unknown Fluffy Object, a free ten-minute game where players guide sheep through the Scottish Highlands while fending off UFO abductions.
The Vancouver Film School's latest student project launched on Steam October 3rd, following earlier releases like Rage Quit and Not Raised By Wolves. Players control Buddy as he navigates his flock across rivers, cliffs and fields, using his "super barking power" to ward off mysterious extraterrestrial threats.
The compact experience blends traditional herding mechanics with light puzzles and mini-games, creating what reviewers describe as a charming adventure with inventive gameplay.
Steam users have embraced the quirky concept wholeheartedly. All 24 reviews since launch rate the game positively, with players praising its art style and creative mechanics. While some note minor technical issues or wish for longer gameplay, the free price tag makes such concerns negligible for most players.
The game represents another successful experiment from the film school's gaming program, proving that sometimes the most endearing ideas come from the most unexpected combinations.
