Not sure it would make a very rewarding game, though.

I was half-joking. The serious side of me thinks other animals, especially the unherdable variety, would be a riot.

So thoughts...

- what about upper levels? cats would be great. So would raptors.

- what about unlocking special animals with achievements?

- what about random critters that add a little spice? For bonus points you have to make a crab stay with the sheep, and he has to be herded sideways.

- what about landmines? Only instead of blowing up they're jack-in-the-boxes that scare the beejeesus out of sheep

- the black sheep suggestion by another poster is brilliant. They do as they please, in fact a really good black sheep makes sure to screw up whatever the others are doing...

Ah, the fun you could have with this concept...

EDIT: don't forget about the Noah's Ark level! Oh man that would be killer...
