Their current 'happiness' status is shown by a sun and cloud symbol above their head. The female white sheep are entirely passive most of the time and await Sven's attention. The humour in the game and at the same time its popularity stems from its funny content, the cartoon-style graphics and the funny names of the characters.Ĭharacters beside Sven The white sheep Sven can always avoid enemies by jumping into a river, lake or puddle, which will not cost a life, but result in him to reappear elsewhere on the screen. To clear a level, Sven must make all white sheep disappear.Īs in many computer games, there are various enemies whom Sven has to avoid and various extras he can pick up to gain special powers. It is Sven's task to engage in sexual intercourse with the white sheep, which will, after having achieved a state of happiness, disappear, resulting in points being awarded to the player. The player controls Sven, the only black sheep, and, at the same time, apparently the only male sheep of a flock owned by a shepherd called Lars Einnicken. The game is set in Northern Europe, presumably in a country where a North Germanic language is spoken.
