Sheep offers a lot of bang for your puzzle-game buck.Sheep aren't just cuddly, docile creatures put on this earth to provide us with wool and something to count during periods of insomnia. No, sheep are actually the descendants of a race of space-faring explorers, who originally came to our lowly little orb to examine our societies and customs. However, all the grazing and wonderful sunshine made them forget their mission, and they somehow became slowly domesticated. But now, the ancestors of our sheep are here to rescue their wayward sons from the evil mad-scientist Mr. Pear, who plans to use sheep genes to domesticate man and control the world.
In this puzzle game, your task is to take control of an earthling, human or canine, and herd flocks of sheep to safety so that they may reach their utopia: Blue Hawaii. Sheep employs an interesting mechanic and a novel approach to the stereotypical obstacle-ridden adventure game. Guiding the defenseless sheep past the many dangerous areas and toward the switches and triggered domino-effect puzzles is done through a sort of motion-detection system. If you approach the sheep, they slowly back away. Yell at them, and they scatter away from you. Sneak up on them, and you might be able to snatch one up and toss it wherever you wish. All these methods of control are necessary to bypass the stages' cunning traps and move toward the eventual exit point or get-away van. Controlling the sheep is easy enough to let you get started, but mastering their movements and responses to your actions can take a while to accomplish. Getting to know the four different breeds and four herders can help you quite a bit and makes completing the game much easier.
