    That looks pretty fun. As long as the action stays intense it could really have a chance in the crowded line drawing genre.
    How do you lose the game? A few more details would be appreciated.

    More about the game

    This is from the games extremely cool website, www.peterundvlad.com

    "The mad scientist Vlad Sedov has created a weather machine to help his brother
    Peter with his farming chores. Vlad's design of the machine was supposed to make
    good use of his brother's flock of sheep by using the wool as the main power
    source. However, the brothers soon found out that this was not an optimal
    design - and the off-button to the infernal-machine is nowhere to be found!"

    Would be nice to get more detailed description into the thread

    Another excellent variation of the line drawing genre.

    Nice concept - and Website

    I noticed that there are some screenshots elsewhere on the site maybe it would be good to show them here to?
    I like the zany story behind the game, it gives it so much more depth.

    You can find the story here on http://www.peterundvlad.com

    The gameplay looks quite interesting and the graphics look amazing. Hope it will challenge the other line drawing games. I think your only dragging one person in this game and not many as in Flight Control and Harbor...

    This makes it more interesting for me

    Features and few screen shots

    Hi

    Here is a list of the game features and some screenshots.

    Features

    Two gameplay modes: Story and Zen. In zen mode you can herd the sheep for as long as you like without having to worry about the danger of the weather machine.

    Peter's good knowledge of mushrooms gives him that extra something he'll need to save his sheep from his brother's weather machine. Remember though that Peter is under a lot of stress and therefore could make a mistake by eating a toxic mushroom - with humorous results.

    Real-time weather transformation effects as summer morphs into autumn, winter and spring.

    Local and global leaderboards that measure your efficiency as a herder.
    Facebook and Twitter integration through Agon.

    Original soundtrack.

    I had trouble telling where the live action stopped and the iPhone gameplay began! Those live actors captured the feel of the game so exactly! :p

    I've only tried a beta version of the game but in that there where seasonal transitions, so the map didn't stay the same throughout the playing experience. But then again i only made it to level 4 so i can't say what happens in later levels.

    On an other note more about the game play experience i'd rate the game very highly. The music was fantastic and the controls where good. Peter did exactly what i wanted him to do. The mushrooms you could collect brought a tactical expect to the game that otherwise wouldn't be there. Should i go for the speed boost or should i just concentrate on the sheep. Thank god for the panic button, it saved my behind when everything was getting out of control. I only wish i had two

    Weather Machine

    What triggers the Weather Machine it looks rather cool, from the images.
    Is it difficult to move the sheep around?

    Why & how do the seasons change? Is it because of the Weather Machine or...

    Vlad's Music

    For those of you, who just can't wait until Friday, I encourage you to check out Vlad's MySpace and listen to his music.

    Currently you can listen to two of the songs from the game but we intend to upload more music in the next days, both from the game and from Vlad's future and past musical adventures. I'm personally very excited to hear his party anthem Blue Balloons in Bavaria.

    Vlad's mostly harmless - and some would even say gentle and innocent - but his creativity has no limits which more than often puts the brothers in grave danger.
