It's almost winter time you need to make sure you have enough sheep for wool socks and lamb chops. Herd the sheep keep them in the yard. Other stuff on the farm: 1. Carrots - sheep will stop and eat delicious carrots wherever they find them. 2. Barn - get the sheep into the barn and they will be safe and take some time off the clock to. 3. Mushrooms - Ummm the sheep will get drunk if they eat the mushrooms. You should probably avoid them to, since you have a job to do. 4. Wolves - Wolves like lamb chops to, a lot. Keep the sheep away from the wolves if you can't they will be eaten and more time added to the clock.

The island's plumber has been out of commission for a while and the residents are counting on you to get the water running again. They could all really use a shower. In order to help, you'll need to push, flip and roll pipes all across the island in some of the most challenging puzzles out there! The minimalist tile-based gameplay is super simple but the puzzles are anything but, each offering a unique idea and problem to solve, and filled with surprises and new mechanics.
