Capcom today announced and revealed Flock!, coming to Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Windows PC.

Players control a UFO trying to herd a variety of animals, including pigs, sheep, cows and chickens, to its mothership through various puzzle-filled environments such as corn fields and pastures.

An extra layer of difficulty is presented in the way each animal reacts to the UFO, tasking players with trying to take advantage of their eccentric behaviour. Players are rewarded for beating a given level in the time provided or by trying to find bonuses.

Flock! also features a co-operative mode and a level editor, allowing players to create their own levels with the level-editor, so you can continue using the Tractor Beam to move obstacles and the Depressor Beam to stamp crop circles, even after you finish the game.
