Summary
Puzzle games – there are hundreds of ‘em available for your PC. From Tetris to Lemmings, the genre has a reputation for producing some of the most addictive, playable games in existence. Originally released in 2000, Empire’s sheep is inspired madness.
The story behind Sheep is quite a comical one, it has to be said. In this particular game, the sheep that exist today were aliens that have forgotten their past in favour of grazing on the rich, green pastures of Earth. But now, the age of electrified fences and pylons threatens their very existence, and it’s up to the sexy Bo Peep (you) and her K9 friends to return them to their home planet.
Although Sheep has an original and comical storyline, the concept of the game and how it’s played is similar to the Lemmings series. You must guide the sheep using your abilities as a shepherd through many of the hazards that lurk in the fields, to a place of safety, avoiding the likes of Mr. Pear and his evil hench-cows.
There are 28 levels in all, each of course, getting progressively harder. If some stages are completed thoroughly, with all hidden bonuses collected, extra levels can be opened up to challenge you further.
