Sheep Game

⠀

"Sheep Game" is an abandoned Early Access attempt to make a family friendly couch multiplayer sheep herding game... basically get your sheep to the middle, or stop other players from getting theirs in. Choose your own strategy... of course nobody played this or wanted it and the developer abandoned this over 5 years ago, so it will never be completed. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs to pretend they're mobile phones or Commodore 64s. It's free for now, but the developer intends to charge for this if it ever leaves Early Access... but considering the poor public reception, it's likely this will not be one of the 25% of games that ever gets finished and leaves Early Access. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your gam…

Игра «Sheep Game» — неожиданно увлекательная головоломка с минималистичным дизайном. Основная задача — управлять овцем, преодолевая препятствия и собирая предметы, чтобы открыть новые уровни. Графика простая, но стильная, а механика логична и интуитивно понятна. Плюс — разнообразие заданий и постепенное усложнение. Минус — ограниченное количество уровней и отсутствие сюжета. Подойдёт тем, кто ценит краткие, но цепляющие игры. Рекомендую попробовать, если любите интеллектуальные задачи.

Appears to have been abandoned while still in early access. It's not bad for a quick 10 minute giggle. Keyboard controls are not explained clearly. Limited content. The sequel, Too Many Sheep, is a significant improvement - go straight to that instead if this style of game interests you.
