A Big Wooly Update!

CSUpdateInsane_480x320

 

As a big thank-you to all our fans, we decided to give Color Sheep another update! Here’s what we’ve added:

  • Junior, Normal, and Insane difficulty modes to accommodate players of all skill levels!
  • Junior mode is designed for younger players and features slower wolves, on-screen color-mixing reminders, and a gentler difficulty progression.
  • Insane mode, on the other hand, is only for the most skilled shepherds! Wolves are much faster, new colors are introduced more quickly and in greater numbers, and no tutorial signs appear as reminders.
  • However, with greater risk comes great reward! We’ve added a new background and a series of creature companions to cheer Woolson on as he progresses through rounds.
  • Improved UI presentation across the board.
  • Normal mode has a much-improved difficulty ramp, progressing more reasonably through the colors and not cutting off the player so suddenly in the higher rounds.
  • Made items persist between rounds! Shields are now like an extra life.
  • Leaderboards should load and submit faster than before. However, due to game balance changes, the existing high score table will be reset. Top scorers from the previous version will probably want to start with Insane difficulty!
  • Improve texture quality on effects and backgrounds, particularly for Retina devices.
  • Game Center achievements!

Color Sheep Reviews!

Sir Woolson has held the line against thousands of wolves since we launched Color Sheep last week, so I’d like to take a moment to highlight a bunch of our glowing reviews while Woolson takes a much-needed break!

“…play enough, and your once-fumbling fingertips will be flying across the spectrum. You’ll barely notice you’ve learned something without having to crack open a single crusted-over container of paint.”

 

 

EntertainmentWeeklyEntertainment Weekly

“What’s a color-changing lamb to do when it’s being attacked by multihued wolves? Incinerate them with lasers beams, obviously, in this whimsical shooting game.”

 

 

 

Kotaku

“I’ve not had this much fun mixing colors since — I’ve never had this much fun mixing colors.”

4/5 GameWoof

“The high level of polish really shows in Color Sheep, elevating it above any other purely high score game I’ve played on Android. Whether you’re going to talk smack about your high score with friends or not, this game is definitely worth buying.”

4/5 Geekenstein

“Color Sheep is a simple, cute and addicting mobile game that’s perfect for playing in short bursts. Thanks to its control scheme and hectic nature, you’ll always find yourself on your toes but never held back by popular touchscreen nuisances.  Color Sheep is not just another sheep in the herd, but an adorably addictive and noble first endeavor by Trinket Studios that should be given a chance by fans of color everywhere.”

If you haven’t seen it already, here’s the awesome launch trailer Eric made, showing some of the backstory of Sir Woolson and the Wolfcano:

Our goal with Color Sheep was to make a small, fun game with lot of character, a unique touch interface, and beautiful art. Sir Woolson stongly believes we succeeded, but that decision is really up to you! We’re so proud to bring him and all the vibrant insanity of Color Sheep to you! Thanks for all your support! <3

It’s alive!
