    • “The graphics and textures look better in the original.”
    • “Some info concerning the free flash version: the steam one has 2/3 more levels + 15 bonus levels, HD sound and graphics, so no way to complain to have 9 hours fun for 10 bucks (the replay value is really poor, especially if one has achieved all the goals).”

Overall, the game is praised for its ability to evoke laughter and provide a fun challenge.

    • “Sometimes the things you have to do are hilariously absurd: you throw your sheep in the air with dynamite, use them as jumping stones, fix the gap in the electric wire with the sheep's body... don't worry though - no matter what you do to them, your curly heroes will end up just fine.”
    • “I loved its cartoony style and its challenging, yet funny achievements.”
    • “Clever puzzles, funny situations and lots to collect and achieve.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is considered low, as players feel that once they have completed all the levels and achieved their goals, there is little incentive to return. While the game offers a good amount of content for its price, many users believe it lacks lasting appeal after the initial playthrough.

    • “Some of them are buggy, some are given out when they shouldn't, and others are not given out even when they should. I had a buggy achievement that should have been awarded, and because of this, I had to download an additional file.”
