In this game, you play Samrin, a cute blue Kacheek that needs to save some cute little petpets from Balthazar, the mean Lupe.
You use the arrow keys to control Samrin. The petpets are automatically caught when you touch them. You can click the spacebar to drop the petpet, which I don't recommend to do, unless you absolutely need to.

Your goal is to put the petpets in the paddock before Balthazar eats them, or before he eats you.

	The Snowflake: This "item" freezes Balthazar for about 4 seconds. It is really useful, I try to use it everytime I can reach one.
	The Speed Orb: This "item" obviously makes Samrin go faster. I don't really use it's a lot harder to control Samrin when you use it, and I usually end up in Balthazar's mouth.

	The Bonus Catch: When you put a petpet with a star kind of thing on it's head, you get the Bonus Catch. Level 1-3: 2 Points Level 4-6: 3 Points Level 7-9: 4 Points Level 10-12: 5 Points Level 13-15: 6 Points And it keeps increasing every 3 levels.
	The Saved All Bonus: For the first 5 levels, you get a bonus for saving all the petpets. Here they are: Level 1: 3 Points Level 2: 4 Points Level 3: 5 Points Level 4: 6 Points Level 5: 7 Points

	The Transporters: The transporters are little gray doors on the sides of the screen. They help you to travel from side to side. After a while they disappear though: Level 5: Top Disappears Level 6: Bottom Disappears Level 7: Right Disappears Level 8: Left Disappears
	The Gates: The gates are where you need to take the petpets to put them in the paddock. They also disappear after a while: Level 9: Top Disappears Level 10: Bottom Disappears Level 11: Right Disappears Level 12 and more: The Left one stays

Here are some strategic paths that you can use until you're at level 6.

If your petpet is in the down left corner, walk next to Balthazar and catch the petpet, Balthazar won't eat you when you're next to him, only when you're in front.

If your petpet is in the upper right corner, use the left transporter and you'll get out on the right side. Catch the pet, put it in the paddock.

If your petpet is in the down right corner, use the left transporter and you'll get out on the right side. Catch the pet, put it in the paddock.

If your petpet is in the upper right corner, use the left transporter and you'll get out on the right side. Catch the pet, put it in the paddock.

• Use the Snowflakes, they're awesome and they help you a lot! If you don't use them, there's small chances that you will have the avatar.
• Don't lose any petpets before Level 6, and I'd even say Level 10. It's really important for you to get the Saved All Bonus. It's not a lot of points, but it really helps!
• Always save the petpet with the star thing first, unless you're in complete danger, it gives more points.
• If Balthazar heads toward a group of petpets, and is obviously going to eat them all, throw yourself in his mouth. You'll lose only 1 life instead of 2-3.

Extreme Herder is a really fun game! The avatar might be hard to get though. Keep working hard and you'll end up with it in your avatar collection!
