Home Sheep Home is a physics-based puzzler that features characters from Shaun the Sheep, a stop-motion animation series produced by the creators of Wallace and Gromit. The objective of the game is to get all three sheep to reach the signpost safely. This means players will have to switch between Shaun, Timmy and Shirley as needed to overcome the obstacles they come across.

There are only fifteen stages to play through, but you can also turn the hint system off for a bit of extra challenge. (official site, Kongregate mirror)

Yet another physics game but well made. Also, Shaun the Sheep is instant win :)

[Grammar Nazi]The correct plural for "sheep" is "sheep". No "s" is needed at the end.[/Grammar Nazi]

Bad link... For me

Could anyone arrive there ??

The version on the Shaun the Sheep site loads must faster.

Fun game! On the minus side, I broke two of the levels (I assume - didn't need all the elements).

this was way too easy. the hints were degrading, too. i'd make a mistake, and the next time the level loaded it'd say something like, "it looks like you're a complete retard. here's what you're supposed to do. stupid."

That's why you can turn off the hints, trialbycecream. Shaun the Sheep is, after all, primarily made for a younger audience. They might use a hint or two.

All in all it's an adorable and neat game, in my opinion.

Hi, I'm part of the Aardman Digital team who created Home Sheep Home.

Thanks for the review and feedback on the game - the hints system has been a popular topic of discussion so we'll look into how this works in future, perhaps even making the official website version different to the one we add to gaming portals..

There weren't more levels due to the timescale we were working to, but we'd love to create another level pack in future :)

Good game for the kids and to cap it off, it looks like it has been able to correctly assess trialbyicecream's abilities. Keep trying mcquinny, almost there!
