Home Sheep Home 2 has been winning critical plaudits since its release in December. The Sunday Times heaped praise on the game for its, ‘Lovely music, cute sound effects and characterful graphics’ and Metro described it as ‘inventive, well drawn and surprisingly challenging’. The launch of the lite version will give gamers a taste of Aardman’s uniquely charming graphics and the fun, London themed gameplay available.

Developed by Aardman Digital and Mobile Pie and published by leading games publisher Chillingo.
