Home Sheep Home

February 27, 2010

Home Sheep Home is a surprisingly addictive game following the exploits of three sheep, Shirley, Shaun, and Timmy, as they pass through different obstacles to get back to their barn. There are fifteen levels, each with a number of obstacles that the sheep have to pass through to get to the next level.

Obstacles include everything from having to pass over a gorge to pushing boxes to using a seesaw to catapult the sheep. Many of the obstacles in Home Sheep Home are multi-step, for instance, on one level players have to figure out a way to weigh a button down, which opens a door, allowing the sheep to exit the level.

The three sheep have different physical characteristics and abilities, and must often be used in coordination to exit the level. Shirley is the largest, and as such, is better suited for pushing heavy items and weighing things down, but is clumsy and can’t jump very far.  Shaun, the middle sheep, is smaller than Shirley but bigger than Timmy, and can therefore do a little bit of everything. He is fairly good at jumping, and can push things as long as they aren’t too heavy. Timmy, the smallest, is also the lightest and the best at jumping. His size also allows him to fit through tunnels and small spaces, but he can’t push much of anything.

Players can retry levels as many times as they like, and the game shows more hints each time the player fails, making it fun and challenging, but not maddening.
