Every Home Sheep Home game in order
Teamwork, the sheep way
In Home Sheep Home, Shaun, Shirley and Timmy have wandered off and need to get back to the farm before the farmer notices. Each sheep is a different size, and that is the puzzle: Shirley is heavy enough to push crates and hold down switches, Timmy fits through gaps the others cannot, and Shaun is in between. You switch between them and use one sheep as a step, a weight or a bridge for another, until all three reach the exit together.
The first game came out in 2010 and was made by Aardman, the British animation studio behind Shaun the Sheep. It was one of the most polished physics puzzle games on the web at the time, full of small animated jokes.
The order
- Home Sheep Home (2010)
- Home Sheep Home 2 (2011) – more levels, more physics objects and the same three sheep.
Tips
Before moving anyone, look at the whole level and ask which sheep must reach which spot. Shirley is usually the key: she can stand on switches, push blocks and act as a platform for the others. If a level seems impossible, try stacking – the small sheep can stand on the bigger ones.
