About This Game

Bark to save the world!

In Herdles, you play a magical dog on a mission to save the world! Zoom through four regions of a vibrant landscape, using physics-based powers to venture further, solve puzzles and overcome challenges. Unleash your secret powers with the dedicated bark button!

Find creative solutions

Along the way, you’ll save corrupted creatures called ‘Herdles’. Each Herdle comes with new abilities – bounce, glide, break through walls, swim up waterfalls, and more. Playful experimentation is key both in the lush overworld and the ethereal dungeons of the Netherrealm!

No combat or death

Herdles offers deep accessibility and customization options that you can tailor to suit your comfort, needs and playstyle. Embark on an adorable adventure with no combat or death, just cozy, joyful fun!
