Howdy partner!

You are the smallest cowboy 'round these here parts. You are the Electron Cowboy, responsible for wrangling the unruly Electron Sheep.

In each level, you oughta round up those darn tootin' electrons into the pen. Keep your eyes open for pesky obstacles along the way! You may have sway with those adorable electron sheep, but they're quite fond of Protons... and watch out for those rascal Fluorine Wolves, they'll steal those electron sheep right from your grasp!

Install instructions

Windows: Download from the itch.io page, open the .exe file, and the program should start automatically. Antivirus may block it initially, you may need to Allow or Run Anyway.

Mac: Download from the itch.io page, open the .dmg file,  then double click the "GMTKJAM24" application wth the cowboy icon. We didn't pay to get official apple developer keys, so it will be blocked from running at first. If you close the error message, then go to Settings > Lockdown Mode, you should see a button to Open Anyway. Click that to launch the game!
