Dark Sheep

There's a method in coming up with an interesting premise for a puzzle game and I'm not exaggerating when I say Daisy Games is a master of the art. Dark Sheep already came with 40 levels but recently added Aftermath campaign adds another 20! It's huge but never gets boring. Logic-based sequence puzzles with new mechanics introduced every few levels, adding to the complexity. Daisy Games just *gets* puzzles and Dark Sheep's a brilliant example. Great retro art and sound.

面白いゲームでした。このパズルのルールは、説明するのが難しいです。一筆書きパズルのようにマスをすべて埋めるのですが、倉庫番の荷物の動線で、そのマス埋めをやる、という感じでしょうか。説明しにくいと思うくらいだから、新しい斬新なパズルだと思います。 ギミックが加わったりゲーム性が変わったりするので、常に新鮮な気持ちで遊べました。英文が少し出てくるので、日本語に対応してもらえると助かりますね。

Came for the Dark Crypt, stayed for the lambs to the slaughter.

FULL DISCLOSURE - I'm the soundtrack composer for this game! Still, I couldn't resist seeing my work in action and trying the game out fully for myself so that I could give an honest opinion on it, and I'm glad I did. I've played Daisy Games' previous game, Hack Grid, and I have to say that Dark Sheep is a step above. Its sinister story makes the puzzles much more engaging, and I love that a premise as simple and innocent as herding and feeding sheep becomes so much more in a way that's not really expected from a casual puzzler. The great old school visuals really add to the experience, tying in well with the soundtrack (if I do say so myself!), and the controls are easy and intuitive. I'm not big on puzzle games on the whole, but I did find myself getting slightly addicted and thinking "go on, one more level". The difficulty gradient is decently gradual too, so there's no getting bored, or conversely, getting stuck too early on. Overall, it's a great game that's quick to whip out when you're looking to kill time, and it lends itself to both a 5 minute fiddle while you're waiting for something, and a longer session where you sit down and focus. The horror style story also just really elevates it from any old puzzler - if you like your challenges with a slice of murder, this is the game for you!

A small puzzle game with very simple rules that still provide a decent challenge. The mechanics and graphics are easily understood and never hide some obscure tricks, while they provide a perfect clarity on what is needed to complete the level. The levels are short enough so it's very easy to play the game during a short break without having to invest significant time into it. Definitely worth getting if you like Sokoban-style puzzle games

I really enjoyed the game! It gave me a lot of C64 vibes and everything fitted that theme extremely well! And well, it has quite some suprises too! [spoiler]That first axe murder moment will never be forgotten XD[/spoiler] Overall a great experience, some cool and tricky puzzles that were quite challenging from time to time, and a great soundtrack!

Großartige Sokoban-Variante! Schöne Retro-Präsentation, angenehmer Schwierigkeitsgrad, ein wunderbares Puzzlespiel.
