    Sheep ** Description
    Here's the storyline for this cutest of cute games. Many years ago, the ancestors of today's modern sheep were sent out across the galaxy from the sheep home star system of Ovis Aries....

    A few of these explorers landed on Earth. Their mission was to pose as stupid peace loving creatures, and study the habitat. However, the sheep on Earth soon forgot about their mission, wallowing in grass and sunshine, and they slowly became domesticated by Man.


    Now the sheep ancestors have arrived on Earth, to reclaim their lost flock...

    To achieve this, without bringing the unwanted attentions of Man, they abducted several Earth inhabitants and implanted them with the urge to herd, rounding up all the sheep to the fabled Mount Mouflon for the journey home.

    However, also visiting Earth is the dreaded Mr Pear, he wishes to acquire the alien sheep technologies in order to rule the universe. He has recruited several characters including an assortment of hench cows, who cause many problems for the sheep and their Shepherds along the way...

    The aim of the game is to guide, lead, shove or throw as many Sheep as possible back to their celestial ancestors. To do this you have to move them through 7 increasingly hazardous worlds each with four grass-bitingly tense levels, all the time saving them from the perils of electric fences, shark-infested ice cream and combine harvesters.

    You start each level with a flock of Sheep, and the aim is to 'persuade' the Sheep to navigate their way to the level Exit while keeping as many of the little flockers alive as possible. Apart from wrestling with the sheer mind-boggling brainlessness of your charges, there are huge numbers of hazards to avoid and obstacles to overcome, and if you are sharp, quite a few juicy bonuses to be found.


    You can choose to play one of four herders and you use the Herder to coax your Sheep into negotiating their way through the hazards.

    You do not have direct control of the Sheep, but you are able to control the Herder. The key to success is to understand how the Sheep react to the Herder in all situations and so be able to use the Herder to drive the Sheep to where you want them to go.

    Features
    • Choose from 4 hapless characters, including the sassy Bo Peep and the over-enthusiastic Motley.
    • There are four breeds of sheep, each with their own distinctive styles, behaviours and aims. They do, however, share the same common trait of stupidity.
    • Guide your Sheep through 28 flocktastic levels, avoiding Mr. Pear and his evil hench-cows.
    • Solve puzzles, collect the golden sheep and unlock the barmy bonus levels

    Now only available as part of the Family Fun Pack compilation.
