Squishy Sheep

The pitch

Your mission is to help an adorable cat friend collect every balloon in each level. All it takes is removing the right platform at just the right moment and letting physics do the magic. Every level is carefully designed to be solved with just a few clicks, while the sheep bounces across ledges and gathers balloons in delightful, unexpected ways. With fluid animations and a cute, inviting art style, Squishy Sheep keeps you coming back for more until every level is complete.

Controls & how it runs

Tap (on touchscreen) or click with the left mouse button to remove a platform / obstacle. Timing is key remove platforms at just the right moment so physics does the rest. The goal in each level is to help your sheep collect all the balloons by bouncing off ledges and using gravity.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a portrait (upright) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet stands tall: it was built for portrait screens, so a phone held upright gives it the frame it wants — though it will squeeze politely into any window. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.
