Sheep n Sheep is a tile-sorting, elimination game that features images of animals, flowers and fruits on layers of tiles on a playfield that looks like a seasonal outdoor area with grazing sheep. It also offers a nighttime field. The player changes the background via a paint palette at the top-right corner.
The game shares similarities with Mahjong but requires the player to locate three matching tiles at a time instead of a pair via one of four game modes (Levels, Difficult Daily Challenge, Infinity and Battle). In these modes, the player might need to match all tiles before time runs out, earn three stars, meet a target score, or complete matches faster than another online player. Their goal is to perform the matches in seven empty slots below the tiles. If they run out of space, they lose the round unless they use a revive option.
Sheep n Sheep offers a lot of fun extra play. The player can buy extra empty slots and undo, tip and shuffle boosters. They can open up a treasure chest filled with coins, play a lucky spin wheel, and use a coin or reward multiplier. In most cases, they must watch advertisements to claim rewards.
The game also features ad-supported and free stress-reducing minigames on a horizontal carousel, including a stretchy animal head that bounces around like a ball when tugged and a breathing and meditation game with peaceful music.
