Awesome Sheep - Review - Young Twored

Give or have a few, at that place are approximately 690 puzzle applications for Windows Phone 7. One of such is Awesome Sheep, a puzzle game for your Windows Phone that has yous leading your sheep from the befouled to pasture.

Sounds piece of cake, right? It would exist if the path was straight and narrow but Crawly Sheep has your tackling see-saws, diving from cliffs (the sheep are equipped with parachutes) and other hurdles to tackle. Crawly Sheep has moved upwardly the popularity list for Windows Phone puzzle games and to run into what all the excitement is virtually, merely jump on past the break.

Baa, Baa, Blackness Sheep have you whatever parachutes?

Awesome Sheep Levels

The game premise of Awesome Sheep is uncomplicated. Move your sheep from the befouled to pasture without sending them to their doom. It'south a puzzle game in that y'all have to navigate around, through, over, and under obstacles on your way to pasture. Awesome Sheep is a multi-level game with each level getting a little harder than the final.

Awesome Sheep Game Layout

Controls are laid out nicely on the bottom of the screen and allow you lot to finish your sheep, have your sheep jump, climb walls, achieve ramming speed and deploy their parachutes.

Your sheep volition motion continuously, unless yous tap the stop button and to switch betwixt sheep all you demand to practise is tap on them. If they hit an solid object (wall, cliff base of operations, another sheep, door, etc) they will opposite direction.

When your trying to move multiple sheep to pasture, puzzles are laid out to require some degree of team piece of work with the sheep. For example, in one stage you will need one sheep to anchor down a see-saw (or teeter-totter) so the other can climb upward to activate a door switch.

Awesome Sheep Start

The screen doesn't move with your sheep but you can zoom out to get the total motion-picture show. This is almost a necessity when your trying to guide multiple sheep to pasture. As well, there isn't a Help Section to the game but as you encounter obstacles or movements for the commencement time, a pop-up message will announced to explain what'south going on.

The game has potential but...

Crawly Sheep has a lot of potential only there are a few areas that need some attention.

First, when you lot tap the parachute button it deploys the chute. If you tap it again, the chute is retracted. Important safe tip: Only tap the chute button once.

2nd, the graphics are a footling bland. Not so bad it hurts your optics simply I call up a more than cartoonish experience would have been ameliorate. The background and obstacles are soft simply the sheep don't seem to math the mood of the game.

Third, at that place's no way to contrary the sheeps direction manually. The sheep volition modify direction when they striking something and y'all'll demand to use this feature to solve some of the levels. However if the last sheep in line changes management, at that place is no way to opposite the course. Resulting in the sheep walking off a cliff.

None are deal breakers but non being able to control the sheeps travel management is the merely issue that I found that took abroad from the game. It does make things challenging in that with i incorrect bump your toast but it besides makes things a little frustrating.

Overall Impressions

Awesome Sheep Title Screen

While there is still room for improvement, Awesome Sheep is an entertaining puzzle game. Especially in playing the levels that have you moving multiple sheep that require a picayune team piece of work with your flock.

The Windows Phone app ran smoothly with no bugs, glitches or crashes experienced. Game controls were responsive and while the game didn't gyre with your sheeps movements, yous can zoom out to see what dangers are ahead.

Not being able to manually alter the sheep'south management does make the game a bit more than challenging merely different missing a spring, having your sheep helpless walk to its doom can be frustrating. As is, I'd give the gratis trail version of Awesome Sheep a try outset before laying downwards the $ii.99 for the full version.

Yous tin can detect Awesome Sheep here (opens you Zune desktop) at the Marketplace.
