STP writes: "From the makers of Left 4 Dead, a multiplayer zombie shooter for PC and Xbox 360, comes Leap Sheep!, a high-score game for the iPhone starring jumping sheep. These games couldn't be any more different, highlighting the contrast between traditional console and iPhone development.
In Leap Sheep!, the screen is centered on a simple fence in a field. Sheep come running from the left, and if you tap on them, they'll perform a little hop. Tap again in mid-air, and they'll perform a flip, helping you rack up extra points, and potentially distracting you from other sheep who are en-route".

STP: Leap Sheep is one of those games that has an inescapable charm. The moment you open the app, you’ll fall in love with these woolly creatures
Pocket Gamer:
Turtle Rock Studios will be a familiar name to PC players: the studio is well-known for its collaborations with Valve on the Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead franchises. But iPhone owners are likely less au fait with the developer (despite Meridian’s efforts to repackage Left 4 Dead’s core mechanics in the cheekily named, Alive 4-Ever).
This may be about to change, as Turtle Rock has set up a new subsidiary, Turtle Rock Garage, which will focus on casual and experimental games for the iPhone and iPad.
Its first effort, Leap Sheep!, has now been released on the App Store. We decided to have a chat with design director Chris Ashton about entering the casual market, encouraging talent from within, and Scrabble.
