Gameplay edit

Sheep bears some similarity to the video game Lemmings. The player can choose between 4 herders, the people Adam Halfpint and Bo Peep, and the dogs Motley and Shep.

The player must then guide sheep of 4 types (Factorial, Longwool, NeoGenetic, and Pastoral), actually aliens from the planet Ovis Aries, through a series of obstacles to the finish line in the level.

There are a series of different worlds, starting with Polygon Farm and on to others, such as Village Fete and Lost in Space. If the players collect all the golden sheep trophies in a world, they will unlock a bonus game, where they are riding a sheep, and have to collect the trapped sheep in bubbles.

There are several obstacles that vary from world to world, including tractors, knights, archers and demonic chefs. Eventually, the players must thwart the schemes of the mad scientist Mr. Pear and his hench-cows.

Reception edit

Sheep received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[20][21][22] AllGame gave the PC version four stars out of five, praising the graphics, soundtrack, controls and its "addictive" gameplay, but noted the occasional difficulty in herding the sheep in some instances, and that the concept of controlling the sheep becomes more challenging at more difficult levels.[23] Reviewing the PC version, Daniel Erickson of Next Generation was positive to graphics and gameplay, and considered the game to be similar to Lemmings.[16] In Japan, where the PlayStation version was ported and published by Syscom on 14 June 2001, followed by the Game Boy Advance version by Capcom under the name Hitsuji no Kimochi (ひつじのキモチ。, lit. "Sheep's Kimochi") on 19 April 2002, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40 for the latter version,[5] and 24 out of 40 for the former.[6] Nintendo Power gave the GBA version a favorable review a few months before its supposed release date,[17] and GamePro also gave it a favorable review before it was canceled for unknown reasons.[8]

Computer Games Strategy Plus nominated the PC version for their 2000 "Classic Game of the Year" award.[24]
