Flockers, the new game from Team 17

Team 17, the developers of the well-known Worms, has presented a new game: Flockers. It's been 10 years since they launched the first version of Worms, and the game is still a success. However, 10 years is quite a long time, and they have now another game ready. Flockers will try to find a place among the many game available for mobile devices, and it uses Worm's popularity to make us want to give it a try.

Flockers uses some of the characters we all know and love from the classic Worms game. Now we control a flock of sheep that try to escape from the control of their cruel masters: the worms. It's a Lemmings-style puzzle game, where we need to create an escaping route for the sheep that try to go from point A to point B across a deathly dangerous path.



In the very same way that we all have done when playing Lemmings, we should sacrifice a few of them in order to save the flock, avoiding the buzz saws, spikes, swinging cleavers and whatever deathly obstacle the worms have decided to use to block their escape.

We need to plan carefully the route, using all the tools available, but we also need to save all the sheep before the count down of the timer triggers an explosion for the remaining members of the flock.

Flockers has 60 levels organized in increasing difficulty, and 18 types of sheep to look out for (with pirate and robot sheep among many others). With the points we get in each mission, we can get items to customize our flock and unlock more levels.



It is available for Android and iOS for $1,99. The game has in-app purchases, but they are not required to play the game, they just let you get special sheep before you unlock them in a more traditional way (what means, by reaching certain level).

Flockers has been available in other gaming platforms for some months, and it had collected all sort of reviews. If you like worms and you enjoyed Lemmings, there's a good chance that you have a good time with Flockers.
