Herdy Gerdy is an action-adventure platforming strategy puzzle video game for the PlayStation 2 console, released in 2002.
The levels themselves are difficult to negotiate, with pirate ships, winding caverns, and ruins blocking Gerdy's path.
Finally, the map shows the player's position, animals, pens, rainbow buttons, and the gypsy at the end of the level.
The game begins with young Gerdy awakening in his home on the morning he and his father are set to depart for the great herding tournament.
Upon seeking the advice of the elder Yggdrasil, Gerdy learns that his father has been placed under a spell by the evil Sadorf.
The winner of The Tournament is given an Acorn, which holds the source of all magic on the Island, something Sadorf wishes to have complete control of.
The journey encompasses many biomes and sections of the Island, as Gerdy gathers magical herding instruments and articles of clothing along the way.
