I (Robin Ek, TGG) was just informed by the Finnish one-man indie games studio Robber Docks, that they have now released their super cute F2P action/adventure game “Sheepwith” to mobile and PC (to be exact, the game launched a couple of days ago):

“Hi there!

Robber Docks released an awesome game this week! Sheepwith is a colorful flying game. You fly small planes trying to save sheep from all kind of danger including pink wolves, vultures and piranhas!” – Robber Docks

The goal in “Sheepwith” is rather simple and straight forward. You simply have to get as many sheep as possible back to the pen. However, that’s easier said than done since there are plenty of dangers and horrors waiting for you (like hungry wolves, for example).

So what is “Sheepwith” all about then? Well, here’s the actual description by Robber Docks:

“Before the development of Sheepwith started, Ike was writing what was going to be his first big game project. One weekend he thought “I could make a small Sopwith Camel flying game in a weekend and continue on the bigger project on monday”. Little did he know that game would take almost a year and become Sheepwith. The gameplay wasn’t clear at first, but the idea of making some sort of side-scrolling flying game had been in the back of his head for years. Inspiration for the project was clear – In 1988 David L. Clark made a game called Sopwith, a game Ike played for hours as a kid.

Sheepwith grew bigger and changed a lot when new ideas popped in his mind. After a while it was big enough to have secrets. One of which he asked the original Sopwith creator David for his approval. Now the game had everything he wanted there to be.
Sheepwith is an upbeat game for all ages about a small plane with a rope attached to it. With it you can grab and drop animals and items.

Are you addicted to flying, saving sheep and unlocking new, fun worlds? If not, you will be pretty soon. You’ll have hours of fun – that is if you consider flying 10 000 ft in the air at 110 mph with a sheep attached to you FUN! Save sheep to pens from hungry pink wolves and other dangers to pursue faster aircrafts and useful power-ups.”

That sounds really nice and all for sure, but what about features then? Well, these are the said launch features for “Sheepwith”:

– Fly 4 different aircrafts saving sheep from vultures, wolves, piranhas and other dangers!
– Share videos of your gameplay with your friends!
– 35 challenging levels with lots of different enemies & hazards!
– 5 colorful worlds each with its own gimmick!
– Great with a gamepad on a computer!

“Sheepwith” is out now for iOS, Android and PC (for Windows, MAC and Linux via itch.io).

So if you like the sound of that, then you could download and play “Sheepwith” for free to iOS, Android or PC (Windows, MAC and Linux) today =) And if you’re still not quite sure whether or not this is your cup of tea, then feel free to watch the “Sheepwith” trailer down below!
