A downloadable game for Windows

Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

Sometimes being a shapeshifting flying eyeball god just isn’t enough to save your city from a relentless onslaught of evil sheep. Don’t be fooled by these puffy balls of wool when they arrive at your gates - they are here to overrun your city and obliterate everything you’ve built. You must defend the city’s headquarters at all costs by strategically building defenses and growing your city’s economy. Before the battle begins each round, use your Gold and Spirits to build towers, walls, or troops to defend against the upcoming sheep hordes. In the midst of battle, choose to have your hero fight on the front lines or shapeshift into your flying eyeball form to command your troops anywhere on the battlefield.

Each map has a series of fast-paced rounds where you might encounter wolves, dragons, rats, or other enemies (all disguised as sheep, of course). Replay maps to beat new challenges or try a new combination of the 3 factions and 9 class types for your city’s defenses.


Sheep Are Scary, the Controls Are Not

In the unintimidating haven of a single-player strategy game, take as much time as you need tactically building your defenses before the battle begins. Fixed locations for building types allow you to focus on how you can maximize your faction and class bonuses gained from build synergies.

Position your troops before the battle starts so you can concentrate on landing your hero’s abilities and auto attacks. Need to assist on other battle fronts? Just shapeshift into your eyeball form to reposition your troops or fly to any other encounter on the map.


Our Hero

Choose your hero from the Human, Orc, or Elf faction and then adapt your play style by gaining new abilities that lay waste to your enemies or help your allies. Make your hero even more powerful with perks and class bonuses gained by constructing buildings that synergize with your hero’s abilities.

The Power of Synergies

Construct buildings of the same faction to unlock perks. Gain class bonuses and exploit play styles by building enough towers, troops, or hero abilities with the same class types. Will you defend against the imminent sheep invasion as a Rogue? Mage? Summoner of the dead?
Replay levels again and again to defeat challenges using unique combinations of classes and factions.
