[edit] Gameplay

Sheep bears some resemblance to the video game Lemmings. The player can choose between 4 herders, the people Bo Peep and Adam Halfpint, and the dogs Motley and Shep. The player must then guide sheep of 4 types (Pastoral, Factoral, Longwool, and NeoGenetic), actually aliens from the planet Ovis Aries, through a series of obstacles to the finish line in the level.There are a series of different worlds, starting with Polygon Farm and on to others, such as Village Fete and Lost in Space. If you collect all the golden sheep trophies in a world, you get to play a bonus game, devised from some other, like Snake. The obstacles between you and victory vary from world to world, including tractors, knights, archers and demonic chefs.
