The lay of the land

Four worlds

The Meadows is open to everyone. Founders can already cross into the Wildwood. Frostfell and Wolfcrag are still being built.

  • The Meadows

    Free, no account

    Green hills, wooden forts and plenty of wolves.

    Fifteen levels, five sheep and a Viking Chief to beat.

  • The Wildwood

    Open to founders

    Pine forest, rope bridges and the wolves’ timber yards.

    Four more sheep, ropes and rolling logs, and the lumberjack wolves’ sawmill.

  • Frostfell

    Coming later

    Frozen falls, an ice castle and wolves who’ve dressed for the cold. Founders get it free when it opens.

  • Wolfcrag

    Coming later

    The pack’s own fortress, up on a crag of black rock and lava. It’s the last stop for the flock, and the wolves know it.

The flock

Nine sheep, nine powers

Every sheep does one thing when you tap, and every level is built around who you are given. Point at one to see it lose its temper.

  • The Ram

    Smash

    Tap in the air and he charges forward, punching straight through wood and stone.

    Meadows: free

  • The Flock

    Split

    Tap and one sheep becomes three. Good for wolves who spread out.

    Meadows: free

  • Blaze

    Burst

    Tap to go off like a firework. Wood and hay catch light, and the blaze spreads.

    Meadows: free

  • Storm

    Zap

    Tap and lightning jumps from wolf to wolf.

    Meadows: free

  • Frost

    Freeze

    Tap to freeze what is around you. Frozen blocks go brittle and shatter.

  • Sponge

    Splash

    Tap for a cone of water that shoves blocks and wolves about. No damage, plenty of pushing.

    Wildwood: for founders

  • Crystal

    Shards

    Tap and burst into shards. Great against wood and ice, no use against stone.

  • The Pilot

    Glide

    Tap and his wool becomes a glider. Lob him over a tower, then glide back in from behind.

    Wildwood: for founders

  • Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing

    Dive

    A sheep in a very bad wolf costume. Tap, and he bursts out and dives straight down. The empty costume flies on.

And a helper

    A hand when you need one

    Stuck on a level? He turns up to help you through.

The bosses

Every world ends with a wolf who has had enough of sheep. Here is the line-up.

Before you ask

Questions

  • Does it work on my phone or tablet?

    Yes. It runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to download or install. You drag back to aim and tap to use a power, with a finger or a mouse.

  • Do I need an account?

    Not for the Meadows. Press Play and you are in. The Wildwood needs a free founders’ account, and Frostfell and Wolfcrag are still to come.

  • Can my children play?

    Yes, and they don’t need an account. Children play the Meadows and we collect nothing from them. Making an account is for adults only, 18 or over, so a parent signs up if the family wants the Wildwood.

  • Are there ads or in-game purchases?

    No ads. No microtransactions. Ever. No coins, loot boxes or paid power-ups, and no nudges to spend.

  • How much does it cost?

    The Meadows is free to play. Nobody is charged during early access, and founders keep Seething Sheep and every update to it, free for life. The founders’ page has the full deal.

  • Does it save my progress?

    It saves in your browser, on the device you play on. Clear your browser’s site data and the save goes with it.

  • Can I change the controls or make it easier on the eyes?

    Yes. Settings has volume sliders, a reduced-motion option, colour-blind-safe cues, larger buttons and text, one-handed aiming, and keys or gamepad buttons you can remap.

  • Who makes it?

    I’m Jonathan Hill. I make every game here, with AI, and I say so. Hillmade Games is where I put my own games.
