6 itemsAbout the Game
The sequel to Sheep Game is coming later this year. Wishlist Too Many Sheep today!
Sheep Game is a couch-based multiplayer game best played with 2, 3 or 4 people.
The game features four fields to herd your sheep in. To win the game, you need to win three rounds. To win a round you need to herd three sheep into the central pen and hold them there for 3 seconds. Controls are straightforward, point the analogue stick in the direction you want your dog to run, and it will follow your command. If you pick up a power-up, you can trigger it with the action button.
Will you play defensively and block your opponents? Or will you become a top dog by rounding up your sheep in record time using your speed and agility!?
So grab your friends and challenge them to fast and frenzied sheep herding.
