Historical source: Dustin Triplett, publication date unverified. This edition contains a newly written, condensed account of the original coverage, with historical opinions attributed to their author. It is not the original article or a new firsthand review.
Which game was reviewed?
The recovered review covered Trinket Studios’ Color Sheep on iOS, with Android also listed. Its product panel gave February 21, 2013 as the game’s release date and $0.99 as its historical price. The article’s own publication date has not been verified. Neither value is presented as a current store offer.
The review’s argument
Triplett praised the game’s vivid appearance and reflex-and-memory challenge. Sir Woolson must match incoming wolves’ colors, mixing the available inputs and adjusting brightness before firing. He found the small control set more flexible than it first appeared: increasingly complicated colors made the familiar actions demanding under pressure. The touchscreen controls supported that challenge rather than getting in its way.
The qualification behind the recommendation
His main reservation was repetition. He also wanted the sheep-and-wolves premise developed more within the game, rather than left mostly to promotional material. Even with those limits, he recommended it for short bursts of play. That recommendation concerned a compact arcade game, not a long campaign or an elaborate narrative. This is a synopsis of his evaluation; no new rating is assigned.
A practical note for present readers
The developer’s Google Play listing says the game depends on perceiving a broad range of colors and is not recommended for players with color blindness. That is a meaningful consideration for a game whose challenge depends on color matching. Use the official listing to check compatibility and regional availability on your device.
