Sheepoid Dx

Warning: Sheepoid Dx consists of strobe effects that are guaranteed to melt your brain!! Well, not quite, but they may affect those who suffer from any condition in which strobe lighting is unsuitable. It is advised that, if you do suffer from a condition like this, you should disable the in-game strobe effects for more comfortable gameplay.

The Story So Far

Planet Earth is facing a major threat - yet again! This time from a giant mothership from outer space. It is armed with deadly laser cannons that are pointing directly at our little blue-green planet. Our scientists have tried to contact the beings on-board but all they got in response to our signals were a series of angry bleating sounds! It turns out the ship is being run by *alien space goats*!! And they are threatening to invade our planet in order to make it their own. Gibber!!

Luckily, our clever scientists have come up with a plan to thwart the alien threat. They have built a vortex machine capable of transporting two sheep-sized animals onto the alien ship - and so they did just that! Two specially modified Sheepoids have been armed and transported onto the mothership. Thanks to their magno-hooves, the Sheepoids landed safely inside the ship, one on the ground and one on the right-hand wall. Now they are ready to save the Earth from world domination.

Playing The Game

There is a game for one player only.

Your mission is to guide your Sheepoids through 24 different levels inside the Space Goat's mothership. Armed with a bleating pulse ray, you must bleat at the enemies that appear in the current vortex which you are fighting your way through. During the fight, your Sheepoids will encounter fellow sheep - who have obviously been sucked into the zone by accident.

If you pick up a fellow sheep, it will award you a smart bomb. You can only carry one bomb, until it has been used. Avoid shooting at fellow sheep otherwise you will lose points from your score. Also, be careful not to shoot your own Sheepoids! Can you shoot your way through 24 levels, and save the world, or will the Space Goats claim victory and conquer Earth? Good luck Sheepoid - mehehehh the force be with you. Baaaah!

Woolly Jumper

Once upon a time in a farmyard, there lived a mischievous little sheep named Pepito. One day, Pepito snuck away from the farmyard and into the adjoining woods. There he found some strange mushrooms growing by an old pear tree. Pepito decided to eat the mushrooms along with some of the rather over-ripe pears that were scattered on the ground. Before very long Pepito started to feel strange... Very strange indeed! The world started to spin around him and before he knew what was happening, Pepito found himself in mindspace!

This is where you come in. You must guide Pepito through 16 levels of Mindspace and get him out of his nightmare and back to reality. Pepito can jump onto platforms but make sure you avoid hazards like meat hooks and spikes. Pepito canot swim either so make sure you avoid the water at the bottom of each level.

Each level of Mindspace is guarded by assorted aliens, including green Martians, blue Penguin ships, Space Chickens and Wiggly Worms. Pepito can shoot balls of wool at the nasties, which can be increased in size using a power-up. The larger the ball of wool you shoot, the more points you will earn.

Game Objects

A series of falling objects will appear in the game. Pepito can pick those objects up which affect the gameplay. Note: Not all objects are useful!
