I downloaded this game after discovering “kiwis cant fly” and loving it so, I figured I try this one out. I liked the concept of this game a lot and the graphics and music are very nice, just like the previous game, but in my opinion I felt like there could have been more to it. I understood what they were trying to convey although, I felt it could have used more back story or a different animation instead of the popping sheep. For example maybe a journal/sketch book background with the sheep in pencil etc. to give it more life.Though I still recommend it because it was very cute and I really enjoy the creative thinking of the game developers :)

Okay, at first I was a little apprehensive after reading the other reviews. Let me start by saying this is NOT a sleeping app. This isn’t meant to help you fall asleep. It’s more of a narrative centered around the theme of falling asleep. Admittedly, the story does contain some negative phrases like, “What if I fail?”, “I’m so weak”, and “My friends will leave me”. But that’s only for the first part of the story. You have to continue on, and I promise the ending is a lot more positive. Yes, there are some negative thoughts in the story, but these are things that many of us think from time to time. In the end, it’s not your thoughts that shape your life—it’s what you choose to do about them, and the narrator in this story does something positive with his thoughts. I personally found this app to be interesting, even if the story was rather short. But then again, sometimes a short story is all it takes to change a person’s perspective...

So when I played this it was kinda depressing at first but when you start to finish the story it gets wayyyyyyyyy better I have a recommendation for the creator I would love this app if it was all positive and no negative like pop the positive sheep’s instead of popping sad sheep’s at first but overall I like this game but warning ⚠️ at first it’s depressing so if you don’t like depressing stuff don’t download!

This concept of popping sheep is cute and the graphics are well done. However, as said in other reviews the negative sheep at the beginning turned me off the app before I could finish. I haven’t had trouble sleeping in years and the negative sheep brought back up old fears and worries. I started to feel my heart tighten, and my head spin, and shut off the game and switched to relax melodies and was asleep in 5 minutes. 2 stars for cute concept, poor psychological construction. Should be easy to rewrite the text, and I hope the creator does because this game has a lot of potential.
