About the Game

It begins with a single sheep and the satisfying snip of your first clip. Welcome to Shear Field, an incremental sheep shearing game. You are not just a shearer you are the architect of a massive woolly empire.

MASTER THE FIELD

Master the rhythmic, timed-snip mechanic where every single clip feels impactful and rewards you with wool and resources. As you shear layers of Common Sheep, Fluffy Rams, and Golden Fleece breeds, you'll discover increasingly rare and valuable animals, each tougher to shear and more rewarding than the last. But raw speed isn't enough — your field space is limited. You must think like a manager, using powerful charge based tools and smart tactics to clear your flock and maximize efficiency.

DESIGN YOUR GROWTH ENGINE

  • Dive into an incredibly deep upgrade system with hundreds of choices that matter.

  • Global Power: Invest Wool Dust, your universal currency, into core stats like Clip Speed, Shear Force, and Snip Rate.

  • Local Mastery: Pour breed-specific resources back into their source, turning your humble Common Sheep pen into a supercharged wool engine.

  • Technological Advancement: Unlock powerful game-changing features like the Drone Hub, where you'll design and command a fleet of specialized drones. From area-of-effect Shear Drones to idle Collector Drones, each has its own unique upgrade path.

SHEAR THE WORLD

When your power can grow no further, trigger a Great Shearing. Reset your entire operation down to its core to earn Fleece Fragments, a powerful prestige currency. Spend your fragments on permanent, game-altering upgrades that will fundamentally change how you play on your next run. The cycle begins anew — but this time, you return as a master shearer.

FEATURES:

  • A satisfying, active shearing experience with a unique timed-snip mechanic.

  • An incredibly deep and strategic multi-currency wool economy.

  • A Drone Hub for building and managing a fleet of specialized autonomous drones.

  • A powerful multi-layer prestige system (Great Shearing and Fleece Shattering) with a massive tree of permanent, game-altering upgrades.

  • Dozens of technologies, hundreds of upgrades, and a near-infinite path of woolly growth.
