Home Sheep Home - a sheep-based physics puzzle Time Waster

Filed under: , , , ,

Home Sheep HomeI love the genre of physics-based puzzle games, but in particular I love the clever ones that really stand out.

Home Sheep Home
is one of those standouts. In Home Sheep home, your goal is to get your three sheep, Shirley, Shaun, and Timmy, back to their barn. To do so, you must navigate them through 15 increasingly challenging levels.

You can only control one of your sheep at a time, and each is unique: Shirley is the biggest and slowest, and can't jump too high, but is heavy and strong. Shaun (hat tip to Aardman) is the middle one; he can leap high into the air, and is very fast. Timmy is the tiny one who can fit through tight spaces, but isn't particularly heavy or strong.

I liked this game so much that I was disappointed that there are only 15 levels. The game concept and execution could easily have supported double that.

You'll probably be able to complete Home Sheep Home in about 20 minutes, and I bet like me you'll be wishing there was more.
