Geomancer Shepherd by elcow
**Windows binary has been fixed (hopefully)!**
Only includes a Windows binary, but Mac and Linux users should be able to download love2d (http://love2d.org/) and run the included source.
Being a geomancer is rewarding work, but sometimes demand for your services is slow. Between jobs, you work as the local shepherd. Being out in the pasture gives you plenty of opportunity to practice your wizardry however. In a freak subduction accident, you have unwittingly unleashed a hailstorm of fire! Use your powers to drive as many of the sheep as you can to their pen, gather some inexplicable stars for some reason, then escape to your portal!
Controls:
w: jump
a: left
d: right
mouse: magic target location
left click: pull ground
right click: push ground
As a geomancer, you have the power to manipulate earth. You power is stronger the closer you are to the target. The green circle shows you the strength at the current location. Careful, shaping the ground into odd arrangements may disturb the precarious balance of geomancy, leading to disappearing triangles, etc.! Shape the ground to guide sheep into the pen and reach stars. Position yourself and the ground to achieve this as quickly as possible. Be warned, fire spawns increasingly quickly, and touching it will cause you to restart the level. Complete the level by reaching the portal. There are two levels.
Scoring
per sheep in pen: 50 points
per star collected: 10 points
time: 0 (just pretend it matters, aim for a low time with as many points possible!)

"Error: main.lua.1 Module 'MiddleClass' not found..."etc etc
The vertices could move faster.
The escape argument was too forced, that rates down for me.
Great job anuway!
Connection with the theme is pretty weak.
