Why do people keep recommending sheep-themed products to me? Those
rumors of what happened on my vacation in Scotland are patently
untrue! I vehemently deny that I have any interest in sheep!

That said... I think I will add the game to my library. ;-)

Well, if The Number says so...

(I not only added it to my library, I actually played it too! My TL;DR
review: if you're thinking about doing the same: don't bother.)

Well, I could just re-direct you to the new 'what have you been
playing thread' where I give my thoughts on the game... but I'll save
you that effort.

The best you can say about "Sheepy" is that it's functional. You can
run, jump and shoot (well, spit) at enemies. But none of it is done
with any real style or fun, and even if it were... there's not much to
the game. I finished the game in 14 minutes. Everything about the game
is incredibly generic. In thread WHYBP thread, I compared this game to
the output you might get from asking an AI to create a platformer; I
don't know if AI was used in "Sheepy's" development, but it has that
feel to it. It's just a game without any character or real
understanding of what makes for a fun game.

There are worse games out there; games with the same lack of skill and
design but worse visuals and less functionality. Give "Sheepy" credit
for at least /working/ as a game. But just because there are worse
games doesn't make this one worth playing.
