The game is planned for release within 2026 on PC (Steam) and Meta Quest, priced at $18.99. Players take on the role of shepherds guiding a flock of sheep across 21 handcrafted diorama stages. The game features a fully interactive world where players can touch and manipulate everything they see, using tools like a fishing rod with a carrot to lure sheep, building bridges, operating levers, or destroying obstacles to create paths. The physics engine was developed from scratch, and the game supports Meta Quest's hand tracking and passthrough features, allowing players to physically touch the stage. Studio CEO Tomas Sakalauskas said the team wanted to create an ambitious work that could only be realized in VR, despite VR's reduced popularity. The game incorporates the worldview and puzzle philosophy of Human Fall Flat while evolving it into VR-specific gameplay. Tiny Flock is being developed simultaneously alongside the studio's sequel, Human Fall Flat 2.","whyItMatters":"The announcement confirms that No Brakes Games is running two projects in parallel, with Tiny Flock serving as a test of whether the studio's signature physics-based puzzle design can translate to VR.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eNo Brakes Games revealed Tiny Flock on August 14, describing it as a VR-exclusive physics puzzle game where players guide sheep through 21 diorama stages.
