A true 8bit classic top down shooter originally released in 1985 by Jon Williams and with kind permission re-written for your enjoyment. This re-make sticks closely to the original game we all knew and loved: Using the quick firing terror tank you must penetrate the city of the Berks and collect 21 keys, all of which are heavily entombed in heavy building blocks. Once these have been collected, you gain access to the Inner Sanctum. Your task goes on - blasting your way to 4 more keys you may enter the Heart of the Inner Sanctum. Once inside, 10 more keys must be collected before you gain entry into the Berks' Sacred Treasure Chamber. This treasure must be recovered before you can complete your task. The Berks are after you, the Drones are after you, even the protective blocks will destroy you on impact. You are given 5 lives, you can gain extra lives up to a maximum of 9, by recovering the hearts scattered around the City. Extra Information: Play left or right handed, your first touch becomes your direction control and your second touch activates your blaster. You terror tank remains stationary whilst firing and you can direct your blaster with the first touch.

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.
