60 of 179 · most liked firstA 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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some sacrifices had to be made.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like a mobile game. Perhaps on a phone it could be okay when bored on a bus trip, but on a PC it's not worth your while.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A delightfully morbid puzzle game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A charming (or not) math puzzle game. It looks good, sounds great, and offers fun, fresh gameplay with new interactions introduced regularly. Overall, it’s neither amazing nor terrible - just solid.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cute little puzzle game about math. The puzzles can be challenging. The graphics are cute and cuddly. What's not to like? :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice puzzle game where you have to move sheep (and wolfs, pigs and some weird statue) around so an X amount of things fits on a boat. It was a good way to waste some time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like puzzles then you will like this game. If you like puzzles and animals then you won't like this game at all. If you hate puzzles and you love animals then don't play this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright puzzle game with nice art.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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 :
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm too stupid for this game. Better become a priest and start selling lies to people about eternal bliss after their death while I shower in money and hookers. Yep, that's the career path for me. Praise the lord. Divide by sheep.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a simple, fun little puzzle game that’s easy to get into. The puzzles are enjoyable, the style has plenty of charm, and it’s a nice game to play when you want something casual. Definitely worth giving it a shot. It goes on sale often, so it's easy to pick up for cheap.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its just kinda boring, its basically a mobile game. It took into world 5 until it became actually interesting and by then you are already so bored of the game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played on Steam Deck. Just cuz it's a mobile game port doesn't mean it's bad, it just means it fits that much better on the Deck! The math-adjacent puzzles are interesting, unique, and enjoyable. Worth the price especially on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game can be played as a break, if you feel the need for a game containing logic operations during the day. From a personal point of view, I found it to be suitable for the aforementioned needs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun little dark puzzle game of very high quality. I will recommend it to anyone who likes these sort of logic puzzles, but I personally have to look up every other level, and at that point I am not playing game but doing a digital task. But it is fun when you get it right 7/10.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was really looking forward to playing this game but not in fullscreen. Sorry.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cute, very fun puzzle game, with plenty of added murder. What's not to like?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, it is a mobile game Yes, it's pretty fun tbh Yes, i got it for free No, i wouldn't really pay for it, but if you like those type of games then i guess 50% sale is good enough to yoink it, considering my play time
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bloody puzzles with sheep and death! WARNING: will make you think.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Creative and original idea, I really enjoyed playing through the whole game. 100% it and enjoyed every moment. It doesn't take too long to play through, but it's worth the price of the game. good to play while watching a movie or chillin with the boys.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+Fun little mobile type of game where ya fling sheep +Cute cutscenes - initially feels fake with the very generic menu, like something is running in the background deleting your files
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple and cute puzzle game (with a twist) for when you want some exercise for your brain. I played in Kubuntu 24.04 with Proton 9 and had no issues.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and resonably challenging puzzle game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Хорошая математическая головоломка с интересными и разнообразными механиками. Пусть вас не вводят в заблуждение милые овечки, в одной их механик их пополам безжалостно кромсает лазером и сопровождается это весьма сочным звуком.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Project Backlog Game 6 - Divide by Sheep A decent puzzle game with evolving mechanics. I only played through the first world and enjoyed the ever evolving puzzles. I'm going to keep this one in my back pocket to slowly play through the remaining 4 worlds, here and there. 6 fluffy sheep out of 10
unlabelledView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very good thinking game. A lot of fun. If you like thinking games, I can highly recommend this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good game to get some coffee, and just burn some brain cells trying to solve those puzzles! But if you like me, and just want some easy cheevos, there is some good guides for this game too!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Colorful Math via murdered livestock. Delightful.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute and fun puzzles
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Made me do math while trying to make me calm and relaxed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very long math game. I found it to be too boring after a while, so I would only recommend to kids/people struggling with math.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is fun at the beginning, but due to the amount of levels it has it gets pretty irritating (not to mention you pretty much need 3 star on almost all levels to unlock the next stage), feels more like a mobile game than a PC one. If you really want it only get it on sale other wise skip it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very nice relaxing puzzle game that makes you question if you truly understand how halves work. Also, the wolves make a "SHEESH" noise when they travel away on their raft.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Divide by sheep is a perfectly fine puzzle game that is great to play a few levels of on the bus and if I was typing this review on the play store, I would give it 4 stars and recommend it. 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. Here on steam it is competing against puzzle game behemoths like “Baba is You” and “The Witness”…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did enjoy the game with the music and the cute graphic, so i am giving this a thumbs up but in no way this is a challenging puzzle game like the game description suggested. 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. And each time a new mechanism is introduced, they lower the difficultly back to beginner level for the players to learn how…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great puzzle game! the story is a fun touch, but the focus is definitely the puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →chill puzzle game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's essentially a mobile game in every aspect so if you enjoy that sort of game you'll probably like this, otherwise it's an easy pass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring mobile game from 2015
