Sheepstacker iPhone Game Review

Posted on 30. May, 2009 by iPhone App Reviewer in $2, 8 Star Ratings, iPhone Game App Reviews

Sheepstacker: I dare you to put this game away.

Version Reviewed: 1.1.1
Developer: Tiny Tim Games
Price as of Review: $1.99
Current iTunes Rating: 4/5

Ok, so this review’s tagline might be exaggerating a little, nonetheless Sheepstacker is a refreshing new game for the iPhone.  Sheepstacker’s gameplay is exactly what the title depicts, you must stack digital sheep until the cows come home (I promise that will be the only corny barnyard joke).  Sheepstacker comes with three different gameplay modes, achievements and a fully colourful user interface.  Although all along the same theme, the unique gameplay modes each provide a refreshing twist to the game.  Sheepstacker requires you to use precise timing to stack the sheep without them tipping over and/or falling off.  The game forces you to use touch and tilt controls and precise thinking.

As you play bonus points and multiplyers can be awarded for stacking the sheep more accuratly.  Not to mention, the farther you go the more achievements you receive!  The game can be quite addicting if you find it fun, some people I’ve demoed the app to don’t like the whole barnyard theme although the gameplay is still fun.

The game almost never crashes or glitches and you can clearly tell the developer put time into making the application.  Although the user interface is not quite modern, and the graphics look a little outdated, the navigation tactics are solid.  The high score menu has a bunch of different categories which can motivate you to play “just that little bit longer,” to see how good at the game you really are.

Although technically a 2D game all the graphics are rendered in 3D and are little edgy but are pleasent on the eyes.  This would be the perfect game for parents to entertain a small child, or even themselves!  It really speaks out to the pick up and play audience.  Plus the games very fitting sound effects do not interfere with your music.  Sheepstacker has a lite version so try it out, you won’t regret it.

Final Ratings:

Gameplay: 8.6/10 – Many gameplay modes, one solid theme.  Entertainment on the iPhone in an amazing form

Enjoyment: 8.6/10 – Pretty fun, almost everybody I demoed to thoroughly enjoyed it

Graphics: 7/10 – A little edgy but still good

Sound: 8.2/10 – Near perfect sound effects, does not interfere with iPod Music.

Technology: 8.5/10 – Uses almost everything, very stable game too

Replay Value: 7.5/10 – If you do get addicted, you’ll be hooked and cornered.

Overall Rating: 8.1/10
