Sheeple Game Review

Sheeple which means “Sheep People” is a term to describe people who are unable to think for themselves. They need you to guide them to do things like move your hand, pick up stuff etc.

In this game, you are the Guardian of the Sheeple. Your job is guide them to get out of the maze and to the exit points. The stars are the exit points. There are different colored stars in this game. Each colored stars will mean certain number of Sheeple can get through it.

For instance, the red star can only accommodate 1 Sheeple. Blue stars can let 2 Sheeple pass through while Gold Stars can allow unlimited Sheeple to pass through. Sometimes, the stars can be hidden under the crates or boulders. You can use meteor to destroy the boulders and fire to melt the ice blocks. The boulders and ice blocks are your obstacles in the game. To get past the river, you need to build bridges in the game. This is available in the Tool Menu. You can also drop boulders to block Sheeple from moving to the other side of the pathway. The time is limited in this game.

Pay attention to the timer ticking down on the top left corner of the game screen. I happen to miss it a couple of times when the green bushes hide the ticking timer. Also, the sliding of the crates is not sensitive in the current version. You have to push it harder to get the crates moving. I have feedback these two issues to the developer so hopefully, the next updates will have a pleasant gaming experience for the people out there who love this game.

Overall, I feel this game will make you rack your brains in thinking how to solve certain puzzles. There are no hints in this game. You have to replay the same level to see where you gone wrong and learn from your mistakes. That is what life is about anyway. Great game! Kudos to the developers!

Check out Sheeple on iTunes now for $0.99!

The Next version 1.2 new features:

    The game should allow use of your own iTunes music, There should be a race mode that records your fastest completion time, you should get some power ups for finishing modes with lots of time left. Also maybe have some levels where two characters start at different ends of the screen and have to meet in the middle.
