Every point has hooves and every point can be stolen. Charge a weaponized bark, scatter rival flocks, and herd sheep home in chaotic third-person matches. A free demo comes first; the full Q4 2026 release is planned for up to 10 online players.
EVERY POINT HAS HOOVES—AND EVERY POINT CAN BE STOLEN.
Barkyard Blitz is a chaotic third-person sheep-herding competition powered by weaponized barking. Play as a dog with one very loud tactical tool: a charged bark that erupts into a powerful gust of wind.
Get close to loose sheep to claim them, steer your growing flock through your color-coded farm gate, and watch your score climb. But scored sheep stay inside the arena. Rivals can blast them back across the boundary, erase your lead, and claim them for their own herd.CHARGE YOUR BARK
Tap for a quick, broad burst or hold the charge for a narrower, longer-reaching hit. Your wind shout can confuse sheep, interrupt another dog's charge, knock rivals off course, and launch loose hay bales into chain reactions.
Every bark is a decision: peel sheep away from a rival, stop a scoring run, crack open the leading farm, or save your own flock from a counterattack.HERD. RAID. RECOVER.
Claimed sheep follow their dog until a meaningful blast breaks control. Scoring does not remove them from the world, making every herd a moving objective—and every farm a tempting target.
Build your flock. Raid the leader. Defend your pen. Recover the animals scattered in the retaliation. A comfortable lead can become a pasture-wide disaster in seconds.UP TO 10 PLAYERS AT FULL RELEASE
The full release is planned to support online matches for up to 10 players. The current alpha and first demo are capped at up to four online players. Ten-minute regulation keeps every match moving, while a first-place tie triggers sudden-death overtime. As the pack grows, every exposed farm, scattered flock, and perfectly timed bark becomes a chance to flip the standings.PRACTICE THE MAYHEM OFFLINE
Jump straight into Rival Arena against three AI herders. Practice the full ten-minute loop with the one-shot five-point prize cow, while solo-only wolf raids and telegraphed horse stampedes threaten to overturn the standings. Online play replaces the AI with human players, keeps the one-shot prize cow, and does not include wolves or stampedes.DEMO FIRST. FULL GAME IN Q4 2026.
A free demo is planned ahead of launch, giving you an early taste of the core bark, herd, steal loop. The full game is targeting Q4 2026.
Claim the flock. Defend the farm. Bark your way to the top.
