    A reasonably fun math orientated puzzle game. As a retired computer programmer I find the math based puzzles a bit too much like work but that is just me. There is one significant drawback to the game which makes me reluctant to recommend it. Almost all puzzles games I've played of this type, and I've played a lot, have an undo button to take back previous moves, one move at a time. The developers have been asked to add an undo button but they refused, they feel it would make the game to…

    Divide By Sheep is a charming, albeit morbid, math puzzle game that somehow manages to be charming despite the morbidity. Some levels feel harder than others, but overall I really enjoyed this one. Why I Recommend Cute music. Adorable art style (especially the cutscenes). Unique premise. The math based mechanics feel simple but were satisfying to figure out. Any Issues? I think my only real complaint was the lack of an undo button. Overall, I really had fun with this little…

    You see cute sheep you smile. You read the math you relax. You move one sheep everything is wrong. It looks like a kids’ game, sounds like a lullaby, and then casually asks you to do division while committing cartoon genocide. Every level starts with confidence and ends with “okay, I’m clearly stupid.” You don’t play Divide By Sheep to learn math. You play it to learn humility. And to question why sheep keep exploding. Final score: Art style: adorable Math logic: suspiciously evil…

    They didn't even bother with window mode, which is bare minimum for any game but esp mobile ports - and I thought I would be 'reaping' given the cutesy reaper character shown front and centre and the chopped sheep logo, not just flicking sheep onto rescue boats? Atleast show little souls come out of the sheep that get bumped off the platforms so you can pretend its thematic :X --- If it was windowed mode it might be a dull distraction on the side while watching vids, as a forced full screen…

    I believe it's a PC port for a mobile game. The UI/UX has not been updated for PC which spoils the fun a bit, but overall it's nice simple puzzle game. The levels aren't well balanced, but there are some nice puzzles in it to.. Recommended only for fans of games like this.

    My review to Divide By Sheep You play 150 levels in single player as the Grim Reaper looking for a lot of new friends. There are 5 worlds with 30 levels each. For 4.99 you can't go wrong! Pro: + Grim Reaper, pigs sheeps, wolves and many more + 150 Levels + 19 Steam-achievements + Dark humor + Easy mechanic + Puzzle platformer + Relaxed soundtrack + Steam trading cards Contra: - No controller support - Round about ~ 1,4 hr I recommend this game!

    As an free mobile game with ads it's fine, but as a paid PC game it's boring af. Even if each world introduces new mechanics, the core game loop doesn't get any more interesting. Also, the UI isn't designed for PC, so it looks like you've scaled it to about 200% of its normal size.

    I loved this puzzle game. It went step-by-step so each puzzle built on what you learned in the last stage. Some puzzles were frustrating at times, but I felt exhilarated every time I figured out a tough stage. I was sad when I finished the last puzzle and have thought of it fondly since then :

    Decent little math/puzzle game, although it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Among the little things that could be improved, I wish it had a windowed mode and that loading levels from the last worlds was faster (i.e., there's no way to directly go to world 4, you need to click-click-click to worlds 1-2-3-4). And an undo button...

    Divide By Sheep is a puzzle game that proves even the simplest mathematical concepts can become surprisingly entertaining when combined with creative design and a strong sense of humor. Developed by Victor Solodilov and Denis Novikov and published by tinyBuild, the game takes arithmetic-based problem solving and wraps it inside a whimsical yet morbid adventure. At first glance, its colorful presentation and adorable cast of animals suggest a lighthearted experience aimed at casual players.…

    Awww...cute music, charming art style, gentle and relaxing-OH MY GOD WHY AM I LAUNCHING BLOODY PARTS OF A SHEEP ONTO A BOAT? Jokes aside, this is a nifty little game. It could do with some additional QA with respect to difficulty progression (several of the puzzles when the trampoline is introduced in the Green world are far too easy) and I would prefer fewer puzzles per world (keep each mechanic fresh), but overall this a good game I'd recommend if you are looking for a light puzzler.

    Neat little numbers game where you think about which groups to merge, which islands to use to remove animals, and whether you should be using wolves, lasers, or whatever else to divide or subtract from the count. There's enough variety to make levels interesting, though I admit that I became bored during periods when no new mechanics were added and I pretty much knew what to do already. One major downside: No undo button. If you make a misstep, then you just have to restart the entire thing…

    wasn't exactly a bad puzzle game, but got bored of it over time. Too many levels even though new ways to operate appeared until the end, still followed the same formula. Could be good to pass time while doing other things -- #0001 if you got the first star without sacrifices, most of time you're on the right way to 3 stars.

    This is a mobile puzzle game ported to the PC without too much fuss. Some people seem to take offence at such ports, but I really don't see any problems with it. The visuals are good and mildly funny, the mechanics are fine, and the puzzles are pretty bland... at the beginning. There are 4+1 worlds, 30 levels each, and while the first one has rather weak puzzles (let's be beneficial and call them tutorial), the next 3 are at least decent, if not too difficult. And then the last world, which…

But this isn’t an app store, this is Steam where I sit down behind my gaming PC to play games for an hour or two, not a minute or five and in that context, it does not hold up and I got bored after 30 minutes.

Insane math level required? No. The 1st 2 worlds require some math to solve, but the rest of the game turned into simple puzzles that we can easily solve like any other puzzles, using the pattern.

    Adorable and surprisingly violent math game. Some of the levels are pretty damn challenging, and there are no hints or, even more annoyingly, an undo button, so if you mess up, which is pretty easy to do, you have to start all over again. But that's really my only qualm. Otherwise, this game is excellent and I definitely recommend it.
