About

Counting Sheep

Features
Read full description

Train your brain by counting sheep. How many levels are there? There is a total of six levels. Below are the details of each level: Level 1 - Pen Introduces the mechanics of the game. Level 2 - Two-Way Pen Sheep can enter and leave the pen. Players will have to count the number of sheep left in the pen. Level 3 - Signpost Sheep can follow or not follow the signpost. Players will have to count the number of sheep that followed the signpost as well as those that don't. Level 4 - Trucks Each truck will release a different number of sheep. Players will have to remember them all. Level 5 - Coats Built on the previous level, the sheep coming down from the trucks will have coloured coats. Players must also take the colour of the coats into consideration. Level 6 - Cottages Sheep will move in between three cottages. Players must remember the final sheep count of each cottage. How long does each level last? Each level (except for the first level which is shorter) takes around ten minutes to complete, so the game can be finished in an hour. However, this is assuming the player gets most of the answers correct, so in actual fact the game might take a couple of hours to complete.
