Welcome to -=Counting Sheep=- A uniquely satisfying, physics-based puzzle game where your goal is simple: keep the flock under control! Tap groups of 3 or more identical sheep to pop them, trigger massive shockwaves, and clear the board. But be careful! Tapping 1 or 2 sheep by mistake turns them into "dead" blockers that clutter your screen. Stuck in a rut? Physically shake your device to scramble the board and open up brand new matches! TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Chaos Mode: Race against the clock! Hit your target score before time runs out and avoid a flock extinction. • Zen Mode: Kick back and relax. No timers, no pressure. Just endless, calming, satisfying sheep popping with dynamic backgrounds that change as you score. Perfect for falling asleep. POWER UP YOUR FLOCK Need a little help? Unlock powerful tools to clear the board in style: • The Explosive Goat: Tap to trigger a massive AoE shockwave that sends sheep flying! • The Sheepdog: Vacuums up the most common sheep on the screen before a satisfying final blast! • Healing Chime: Made a mistake? Use this to instantly revive all your dead blocker sheep. • Time Clock: Add precious seconds to the clock when you’re in a pinch. WATCH OUT FOR THE WOLF Survive long enough to unlock special Bonus Levels! Find Steve hidden in the flock to earn massive time bonuses, but whatever you do... don't tap the wolf! Get ready for juicy combos, satisfying physics, and endless puzzle fun. How long can you last?
