Color Sheep – Action Game Review
Color Sheep is a Action/Casual game from Trinket Studios, first launched in 21st February 2013.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 123+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Color Sheep Stand Out
Kotaku: “I’ve not had this much fun mixing colors since — I’ve never had this much fun mixing colors.”
New York Times: “…your once-fumbling fingertips will be flying across the spectrum. You’ll barely notice you’ve learned something without having to crack open a single crusted-over container of paint.”
Entertainment Weekly: “What’s a color-changing lamb to do when it’s being attacked by multihued wolves? Incinerate them with lasers beams, obviously, in this whimsical shooting game.”
Hordes of vicious wolves have emerged from the mouth of Wolfcano to steal life and color from the world. Now the Knight of Light, Sir Woolson, must ready his color-changing fleece and magical powers as the last defense against the darkness!
Color Sheep is a fast-paced arcade game in which players change Woolson’s color to match oncoming wolves by mixing different intensities of red, green, and blue light. An intuitive swipe-based interface makes forming combos a breeze. When Woolson is charged, tap him to release an incinerating laser blast! Magical items dropped by enemies summon fantastical nature spells to protect Woolson and smite the evil lupine invaders. With over twenty-six color combinations to master, three difficulty modes to choose from, Game Center leaderboards to climb and achievements to unlock, Color Sheep is easy to learn but hard to put down!
- Mix red, green, and blue to master the power of light!
- Discover Woolson's arsenal of spectacular spells!
- Climb the leaderboards and best your friends and family!
Note: Color Sheep requires players to perceive a wide range of colors and is not recommended for those with color blindness.

Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 24th October 2022
Recent improvements include:
- Support for safe areas.
- Changed What the Fleece achievement so that it can be accomplished. Previously it required that you make Woolson appear in a color that wolves don't spawn in. That became impossible to achieve in 1.3.0 when Insane mode gained new wolf colors. What the Fleece now requires that you reach the 50th round of gameplay.
- Fix sizing of UI elements and camera positions for some device aspects.

Community Insight:
We fw the game and whoever made the sheep character design we fw you and we wanna know more of your work.
We know there is a one time payment of $1 but there are no ads and its so much fun.
Been playing with our siblings for so long, still love this game now as an adult. Thank you so much for a endless enjoyment.
We're downloading the game rn but why we are here rn is cuz we got to play it at a touch to play at Burger King.
Maybe by covering new colours you get more wolves on normal and in practice (not tutorial) this will be the #5 area we will call it more colours sorry Im saying colour Wong so a few colours could be added to.
We love this game. Ive been playingnit for over an hour and its so addictive. We love art and action games so Color Sheep is perfect to us. We recommend this game it is worth the money.
Been playing since then Wow am having a blast lol we noticed only in normal mode you unlock color wolves as you go Im far as Salmon. Updated now to Lime /Bright Green we think am getting closer lol? This game made us have a blast fun lots of combo colors we still need to learn. Challenging and those fairy help alot Im still wanting to know what the Mega Boss Wolf looks like Awoooo we were practicing coloring match when we noticed locked colors new wolves soon or the Mega Boss Wolf itself interesting!? We just love the story behind this sheep.
We just love this game! We saw it at Burger King and when we died we saw it was available on iPad and so we got it. We just love this game.
Only complaint is that you start over every time. Other than that this app is great.
This game was a blast to play. The sheep are so cute.
Apps on our phone come and go but we will never delete this one. It's engaging and challenging and perfect for any situation.
Its a good game but can you make an update for iPhone X.
We liked the original Color sheep a Little better than what it is now, can you bring back the original color sheep plus.
It should've been updated with the new iOS or new iPhone cuz it looks so bad in iPhone XS and for a paid game shoulda been better.
Please dont antagonize the wolfs. Wolfs are not bad other than that the game is fun.
We wish that you had lives and weren't killed on the first shot, also we don't like how it just goes back to the beginning and we hope they add that in the next update (assuming there will be an update).
We love everything about it, but the fact that you go back to the start every time you fail, so the developer definitely needs to fix that issue.
So we asked for a refund they said yes but we never got it and also when we played it never saved our game its a fun game but its not fair.
It is a colorful game that worke perfectly.
This game is so strangely compelling and we don't understand why. Every way we look at this game we should be bored by its repetitive nature but am not. The developers had to have done something right for this not to be addicting but genuinely exiting to play for hours. If color sheep looks appealing to those of you reading, buy it right away. This game is well worth the money. We are annoyed by one thing. Not all twenty-seven possible colors are used. Six of them are left off. We understand this may have been due to poor feedback from playtesters, but we would love to see an option to add them back in. Thanks for the amazing game guys, keep up the great work.
This is a fun, amazing game but we would like to see and extra colors mode where it incorporates and shows all or your choice of colors that you can actually make, we saw a light green and a light yellow so we would we would like to use them.
This is one of the most fun, most addict ing game, we have ever played….EVER! We, speaking for many people, would LOVE to see a sequel. Maybe with a story mode, and a Co Op mode! (Including the classic gamemode :).
We've read some of the earlier reviews, and many of them complain about levels. To those who haven't played, the modes are Junior, Normal, and Insane. Just play Insane if you don't want to learn the colors each time. Look at Flappy Bird, you start over on there, too. But that's quite monotonous, so it just gets tedious. We get it, going back to that level of your high score might take awhile, but isn't this just the type of game to do that? Perhaps they could add an option of starting at diff levels, but then it'd just be like Angry Birds. We guess there are people who'd rather take the shortcut, so they might choose that mode instead of "classic". But this game is totally worth it. It's certainly not a "mindless" game. We feel like we're using the parts of our brains that we like to use (we don't mean the ones used for studying). No regrets playing this (unlike some other games….).
We are colorblind and still enjoy the game.
We love it, got to level 14 on second day of playing it. Can you please add more colors. By the way, Woolson is cute.
This app is awesome. We love trying to clutch up on high rounds. We noticed there are some colors that you never use though.
We think that this is the best game ever created we first learned it from our cousin and then we kept steeling the ipad from him.
This game is so fun and addicting. Each level becomes harder and faster so don't let the big bad wolves get you.:).
This is a cute yet challenging game we adore it. Three words BEST APP EVER. (It's worth the money).
1 of the best games on app store.
This game is the most addicting game we have played on the iPod or iPad.
To those complaining about the RGB, couldn't your child become a computer programmer/artist/web designer that needs to know these things Also, with paints, magenta plus yellow gives either red or orange (depending on ratio), not red + yellow = orange.
We really enjoy playing this game though we think a system of lives should be implemented. One possibility would be to have the wolves drop lives that you would have to tap on to collect every once in a while. Other than that, we really enjoy this game and believe it was worth the money.
Color Sheep -it's hard but has rewards. Great game.
We adore this game it's just we get very frustrated when we die and we have to go to the beginning.
This game is amazing in so many ways, but every time we get on it, the scores are erased. It really gets in our nerves.
It really fun . But we hate that you cannot stay in the same level that you died in. And learning all the colors all over in each stage is a drag. STAGE SELECT DOES NOT EXIST.
This is an original concept adding light to kill enemies. It is a fun game, unfortunately spoiled by event handling bugs. For example a low battery notification will end your game and kick you back to the menu. In general suspend and resume is handled poorly in this game.
We like the idea, but we don't like how you have to go back to the very beginning each time you lose. Either have three lives or have benchmarks. It makes us not want to play.
This is a fun game, our daughter and we both like it, but who ever decided to use green as a primary color is off their nut and should be looking for work in a colorless world. The game is mixing red and green paints to get yellow (If your mixing light that will work) and blue and green paints to get cyan (there we go again). Parents will need to correct their kids or they will paint everything black and brown because that is what you get when you mix red with green and blue with green in the real world. Why not just make the option yellow paint instead of green? Then we could have smart kids, because most kids will not be mixing lights any time soon. Remember red with yellow = orange. Blue with yellow = green. Blue with red = purple. And the creators of the game said that it was not recommended for people with color blindness, how ironic (said the pot to the kettle).
Intuitive color blending game that's based on light instead of pigment. Cute/cool art design. Round-based gameplay that lets you play for thirty second increments, if you have to, which is ideal for commuting, waiting in line, or whatever. And the latest update adds two new difficulty levels and Game Center achievements. Definitely worth your dollar.
Such a fun game can't stop playing! Would definitely like to see more updates. Game works fine for us with the new update.
A wave of people in our town are about to get this. Its gunna blow up… Ur gunna be rich. Great game. Thanks.
We will say the latest update only works on our ipad, not iPhone 4S. :( BUT, this game is great. Glad we found out about it at PAX 2013 :).
This app is a lot of fun but recently the app will not open. The load screen will pop up and then immediately crashes! Please fix this soon! And then we'll give 5 stars for this app.
Great fast paced gameplay. For ipad version the reset color button is too far away to reach quickly at faster levels – would be nice if there was a customizable layout or if this button was relocated for ipad. Also, how do we see the achievements? Other than that great.
We played it on our friend's phone and it was great, but the game won't open after we BOUGHT and downloaded it, fix problem please.
Latest update has made it where it crashes on start up. Please fix.
For some reason, when we click on this app, it opens and says "loading" and then kicks us out of the app and closes! Please fix! Am very upset because heard this game was fun but can't play.
