Herdsperson

Based on the theme of “Lost and Found”, Herdsperson is a short game inspired by the alpine tradition of Alpabzug, a parade that celebrates the cows’ safe return from the mountains to the valley for the winter. The aim of the game is to find and collect enough flowers to make headdresses for your cows so that they will go with you from the mountain pastures into town for the parade.

Second assignment for Introduction to Programming for Games course.
