Fear not though as Farmer Dude has his own tricks up his sleeve in terms of allies and items he can buy at the shop. Light RPG elements help you upgrade your skills to keep up with the ever so sly Rabbit Man.

Sheep Frenzy
iTunes Description
Do you remember those old handheld electronic games? Simple rules, fun to play, yet challenging. No? Nothing comes to your mind? Well, don’t bother anymore, cause Sheep Frenzy! is so much more!
Rules are simple. You use just two “buttons" to move the bar and the bar is what prevents sheep from falling into the abyss. They will just bounce right off the bar to the other side. They may seem a little suicidal, but at least you earn points for rescuing them, right?
The more points you earn, the more valuable sheep you unlock. But beware of their special abilities – the most valuable sheep are really hard to rescue.
