Your Grandma's River Crossing Puzzle, August 18, 2022by Hendursaga This is the standard "Wolf, Sheep & Cabbage" river crossing puzzle, but with a few minor twists. Beyond the source code and Easter eggs thrown in, it's not much more than a coffee break IF. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

An entertaining ten-minute diversion, December 11, 2020Sheep Crossing is a one-puzzle game, with no plot to speak of, and the puzzle is one that pretty much everybody has heard of and solved by the time they’re seven. But wait, come back! Another way to recite the same facts is that it’s a cute and charming take on a classic puzzle, and since neither the author nor the player need to pretend that figuring out the solution is the point, it’s all about riffing on that premise and finding as many gags, and ways to fail at this beyond-simple task, as possible.

Not very original, December 8, 2020I don't mind short games if they have something original and if they are interesting or ingenious or hilarious etc. But I didn't think this game has much of that, though you might find a few funny responses if you specifically try NOT to solve the puzzles.

Lightweight delivery, December 1, 2020Sheep Crossing is a parser-based game by Andrew Geng, published in 2020. In it, you need to take a bear, a sheep and a large cabbage to the other side of a river. If this setup sounds familiar, it’s because the game is essentially presenting the age-old “Wolf, goat and cabbage problem” in an Interactive Fiction-format. Was this review helpful to you?

Amusing things, November 30, 2020The least fun you can do with Sheep Crossing is doing everything correctly. Many works of IF contain various amusing things you can do, playing a bit outside the box. Sheep Crossing takes this to the extreme. If you ever have stumbled upon a common conundrum involving your three pieces of companionship, you will have no problem pleasing your grandmother; a straightforward playthrough takes less than five minutes. The value here is doing silly things, laughing out loud, then restarting and trying something completely different. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

River crossing puzzle, November 1, 2020by deathbytroggles (Minneapolis, MN) This is just your standard river crossing puzzle, and if you've ever solved one before then this shouldn't take you more than about ten minutes. There's one tiny additional puzzle, but there's no red herrings as there's hardly anything to look at other than the cabbage, sheep, and bear you're trying to get across.

A parser implementation of a classic puzzle, October 15, 2020This game is based on the famous puzzle of trying to bring a carnivore, an herbivore and some plant across a river where you only have enough room for one at a time. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
