What is Eat Sheep?
Eat Sheep is a top-down puzzle / path navigation game where you must navigate your monster to consume sheep to save the world. Each monster has it’s own traits and special moves that will aid you through this journey. :slight_smile: Eat Sheep is being built by CG Cookie and crew on the side, with volunteer time and red bull fueled creativity working to bring this project to completion.

Eat Sheep is now available for iPad via the App Store!

Eat Sheep Story
Sheep were bred at record rates in the early 60’s after a direct relationship was realized between getting a good night sleep and the amount of sheep in the world.

With the ability to count sheep into the thousands people were getting more sleep then they could ever dream of. So many sheep were bred and bred strong. Many sheep had to survive on vast farms, deserts, and distant winter tundra. Basically anywhere there was room, sheep were bread.

Unfortunately this has gotten out of control and there is now an over abundance of sheep around the world, endangering productivity and has provided a surplus of wool. So much in fact that wool has become the world wide currency.

To help fight this epidemic of Sheep, Monsters have been released into the wild to reduce the sheep population in a last ditch effort by local secret organizations. You have been employed by these secret organizations to guide these monsters to the Sheep!

Though some evil sheep wranglers from around the world, which have benefited from the over population, are determined to stop the monsters from eating the sheep.

Being the monster and productivity lover that you are… it is your job to feed your monster sheep to keep it awake and save the world!

General Info and Tech
We are leaning heavily on Blender Software for all of the 3D Assets and Animations. We are hoping to have the game complete in the next month or so. Though we may run out of coffee before then. :wink: Original intentions are to produce for iOS and then move to Android if the game is well received. :slight_smile:

Thank you for all of the support and hope you enjoy!

To pass a level on Eat Sheep - the goal is to stuff your monster beyond normal stuffing standards… Though after the feast with is over, you will notice a slight “Euphoria” on your Monsters face…

I love everything about this game so far! especially the art style and those monsters.
By far this is one of the most impressive unity games I have ever seen.
It makes me even happier to know that you guys are using blender for your 3d models and animations. (Everything is looken really smooth and professional)

Looking forward to this, keep up the great work guys.
Unlike angry birds; I think this game deserves to become a popular app/game.

This will become a successful title for sure.

I might be rushing a bit, but here’s what I think so far. (I also came up with a few possible merchandise ideas if it comes successful, don’t mind if I post them here, no? I will post them anyways.)

First of all, I just love the concept of this game. If done right, this can be extremely addictive. And this game is designed so, a lot of additions and other fun things can easily be added afterwards. I like the idea of wool and custom monsters too. I have fun suggestion for this too (I’m full of ideas today!). It would be fun to have at holidays a free monster you can redeem. In example! At Christmas have a snow-ish covered Melvin with a Christmas hat, or with Halloween a scary vampire Melvin?! He’ll suck the blood out of those sheep! Or, a bunny Melvin at Easter. And I can go on but I’ll stop here. You get the idea. There is one thing I seem to dislike though, that is the visible path Melvin will follow. I kind of think it messes up the screen, and doesn’t look nice. Also sort of unnecessary in my opinion. Other then that, I love the way you are doing anti-camping protection. I also love the nice and smooth animations, their wonderfully animated and completely fit the style. It’s also very fun to see how he eats the sheep. I also hope you’ll make some different sets of levels too, as in different scenarios. Although I understand it’s hard to make, I think the variation is a tad too little. That’s basically all I can say about the game for now. As for merchandise ideas! (Oh I love these.) I think it would be nice to have a cap, where you have Melvin with his teeth, and some drool under it (cute/funny looking of course) with two teeth like its sucking on your head. don’t know why, but it just seemed fun to me. This is what I think so far, and I can’t wait for this to be released! I love it so far, and I think this game can get really far, it just needs to get promoted to a lot of people, that way they will notice.
