What's in the game · version 2.0

New ropes to read

Rated ropes snap under one animal too many. Worn ropes lose a strand with every cut. Swinging beams tip their riders off, and brass latches open only when their plate is pressed.

A puzzle, not a race

No timer and no lives. There is no undo either, so look before you cut; Restart is always one tap away. Hints come in three steps, and if your cuts have left the plan, the hint works out a new one from where you are. Lost? Watch what happened, slowly.

Something new every day

A daily puzzle, the same for every player. A weekly challenge of six puzzles under a rule that changes every Monday. A gauntlet of the ten hardest puzzles each month, with a medal named after the month.

A flock with character

Five sheep, each with a personality: Bramble, Pip the lamb, Curly, Duffle and Old Tup the ram. They watch your finger, tremble when a wolf comes close and cheer when it falls. Drawn in a soft felt and stitch style, with real sounds for every world.

How to play

Swipe to cut. One swipe is one cut, even when it crosses several ropes.
Wolves down, sheep safe. Every wolf must end in the ravine. No sheep may fall or be touched by a wolf.
Beat the par. Find the plan with the fewest cuts for three stars. No timer and no lives.
Hints in three steps. Where to look, which rule matters, then the rope itself. And when it works, watch your own plan play back.
