## What is Color Sheep?

Kotaku: “I’ve not had this much fun mixing colors since — I’ve never had this much fun mixing colors.”

New York Times: “...your once-fumbling fingertips will be flying across the spectrum. You’ll barely notice you’ve learned something without having to crack open a single crusted-over container of paint.”

Entertainment Weekly: “What’s a color-changing lamb to do when it’s being attacked by multihued wolves? Incinerate them with lasers beams, obviously, in this whimsical shooting game.”

Hordes of vicious wolves have emerged from the mouth of Wolfcano to steal life and color from the world. Now the Knight of Light, Sir Woolson, must ready his color-changing fleece and magical powers as the last defense against the darkness!
Color Sheep is a fast-paced arcade game in which players change Woolson’s color to match oncoming wolves by mixing different intensities of red, green, and blue light. An intuitive swipe-based interface makes forming combos a breeze. When Woolson is charged, tap him to release an incinerating laser blast! Magical items dropped by enemies summon fantastical nature spells to protect Woolson and smite the evil lupine invaders. With over twenty-six color combinations to master, three difficulty modes to choose from, Game Center leaderboards to climb and achievements to unlock, Color Sheep is easy to learn but hard to put down!

* Mix red, green, and blue to master the power of light!
* Discover Woolson's arsenal of spectacular spells!
* Climb the leaderboards and best your friends and family!

Note: Color Sheep requires players to perceive a wide range of colors and is not recommended for those with color blindness.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2022-10-24

- Support for safe areas.
- Changed What the Fleece achievement so that it can be accomplished. Previously it required that you make Woolson appear in a color that wolves don't spawn in. That became impossible to achieve in 1.3.0 when Insane mode gained new wolf colors. What the Fleece now requires that you reach the 50th round of gameplay.
- Fix sizing of UI elements and camera positions for some device aspects.

### 1.3.0 — 2016-03-31

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

* New item: THE FAIRY! Your new pal will shoot fireballs at wolves that get too close.
* New wolf colors!
* Endless thanks to all you Color Sheep fans who have stuck with this little game :)

### 1.1.1 — 2013-05-05

Fix crash for users running iOS 5.1.1 or earlier.

### 1.1.0 — 2013-04-24

As a big thank-you to all our fans, we decided to give Color Sheep another update! Here's what we've added:

* Game Center achievements!

* Junior, Normal, and Insanity difficulty modes to accomodate players of all skill levels!

* Junior mode is designed for younger players and features slower wolves, on-screen color-mixing reminders, and a gentler difficulty progression.

* Insanity mode, on the other hand, is only for the most skilled shepherds! Wolves are much faster, new colors are introduced more quickly and in greater numbers, and no tutorial signs appear as reminders. However, with greater risk comes great reward! We've added a new background and a series of creature companions to cheer Woolson on as he progresses through rounds.

* Improved UI presentation across the board.

* Made items persist between rounds.

* Leaderboards should load and submit faster than before. However, due to game balance changes, the existing high score table will be reset. Top scorers from the previous version will probably want to start with Insanity difficulty!

* Improve texture quality on effects and backgrounds, particularly for Retina devices.

### 1.0.2 — 2013-03-07

* Practice mode! There's a new mode available from the main menu which lets you practice whatever color you like in a safe, zero-enemy environment.
* Game Center leaderboards!
* Improvements and fixes for Facebook integration.
* Show more entries in leaderboards.
* Show only top scores for each friend in Facebook tab.
* Mute button to toggle sound.
* Various bug fixes.
