    Devs deserve a lot of props for the creativity in their games and the breadth of styles and genre

    Spoiler Alert with a unique twist on platforming and graphics that (in my opinion) are somewhat poor.

    Fearless Fantasy, a JRPG with one of the more unique and awesome art styles that ive seen, which could come straight from a Tim Burton production.

    And now the complete opposite of frightening graphics with this cute puzzler with a simple, sokoban-esque gameplay (essentially pushing blocks).

    What's next, an endless runner+town simulator with match-3 rpg mechanics in a cyberpunk setting? ��

    Love this game and the ideas these devs come up with. Keep it up!

    Don't confuse publisher and developer. TinyBuild picks up indie games with potential for publishing them, it did not develop this game.

    The laser will slice the sheep in half and two halves can be patched back together on the boat. The trick is to use this to reduce your sheep count. For example, an island with 4 spaces will only hold 4 halves and result in two whole sheep on the boat.

    If you're having trouble now though, wait until you reach the fourth world. There are so many permutations that it's really tough!

    The left 6 sheep you should move to the middle, than put the two right sheep through the laser on to the middle and you have two whole sheep and 4 halves makes 4 in total, now put them on the raft, now you need 5 sheep, put three sheep through the laser and you have 2 and a half sheep, times two makes 5, now you only need to put up the 6 sheep that are left on the raft, finished.

    I like this game so much I almost picked up the Steam version too. But it wouldn't get as much attention as my iOS version. tinyBuild is a really talented developer team. Really happy I was able to test Fearless Fantasy. Hopefully I'll be selected for another test down the road. So far I've purchased all 3 games on iOS. And never seen anything like Spoiler Alert or Fearless Fantasy in iOS before ..that I can think of.

    Really excellent puzzle game. Almost done with the 4th world, but it's going to be a real challenge getting 3 stars on every level.

    Yeah, understanding the game mechanics is a puzzle in itself ;)

    The slice logic is indeed just that: each sheep gets sliced in two halves and the game mechanic here is that each half sheep
    still occupies one full square. You can move around half sheep like you're used to do with "whole" sheep. Merging takes place only on the raft, where two halves become and count as one again.

    The trampolines (spring boards) are another game mechanic that had me puzzled for a while. In 1-18 you'll see one with two arrows. Pay attention to
    which of the arrows lights up first. It is not important when routing an even number of sheep because then the bunch of sheep is simply split in two equal halves. But in case of an odd number there is a doubt where the last "odd" sheep goes! For example with three sheep, the first two are split up, but the third goes where the first arrow (the one that lights up first) points to. This rule also applies if you throw only one sheep on the trampoline: it always follows the first-lit arrow.

    In the second world, you'll find TNT islands. These can be
    prevented to explode by having a wolf on it that already has devoured a sheep (and thus became a fixed character that doesn't eat and move anymore)

    I'm sure more mechanics will follow, but I'm just a few levels in world two ;)

    [edit] added spoiler tags, maybe some consider discovering the rules of the game a puzzle in itself (which it is :D)

    Level 3-25: To solve this level (3 Stars), you have to jump over the fence. Why? This is the only Level where this is possible. :confused:

    Seems like a bug. It's definitely possible to 3 star it without jumping the fence though.

    Hey Devs do you really have to force 8.3+ ? I know thats preventing me from getting this... :(. I bet if it was 7.0+ you would get more sales too

    Cheers

    - Luke, I'm your developer
    - Noooooo!

    Hi guys. I'm Victor - the guy from credit screen. Few answers:

    I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Sorry for this, but I still can't reproduce this bug :(


    Yea, it's a bug, Thanks. And we find another in 4-25. I will fix and update game soon.

    On versions below 8.3, we have an error with video intro screen. I'm trying to solve it. I will write about it soon.

    I hope you are able to reduce the iOS version requirements, but even if that doesn't happen I'll pick up the game on Android or worst case scenario, on Steam.

    It may be an issue related to progress, after deleting the app and reinstalling, playing to around level 1-18 and force closing the app and trying to start it again, I have exactly the same issue.
