Jilly's Farm Volume 1 - SokoBAArn
STORY
Farmer Jack has retired, leaving the family farm to his daughter Jilly. Jilly wants to keep livestock - pigs, sheep, and ducks - but there's still the gathering of the hay crop to be done... Maybe the new sheep can help?
HOW TO PLAY
Sheep like everything to be tidy and in its place, and are very good at moving hay, well, pushing hay...
The goal of each level is to move each bale of hay to the storage, so they can all be collected and so unlock the next level
CONTROLS
Sheep are very intelligent animals, and are equally good at moving in set directions, and rotating on the spot
The default controls are below. Redefine them on the menu screen, where you can also choose between rotational or directional controls, and joystick control
Z - Rotate anti-clockwise / Move up & left
K - Walk forwards / Move up & right
M - Walk backwards / Move down & left
X - Rotate clockwise / Move down & right
L - Undo last move / Paint tile (in editor)
Q - Quit / Multiple actions (in editor)
LEVEL EDITOR
A complete level-editor is included with this game, allowing you to create your own levels of Sheepy-goodness
Controlling the editing cursor - blue highlight bar - uses the same movement as in the game, with UNDO used to paint down the currently selected tile type (shown in the bottom left of the screen)
QUIT is used to provide a variety of actions:
QUIT + Rotate AC/Move U+L = select the previous tile type
QUIT + Rotate C/Move D+R = select the next tile type
QUIT + Forwards/Move U+R = test the editor level
QUIT + Backwards/Move D+L = exit the editor
After creating your level, you must test it and complete it, as only then will you be given the 25 character code which describes the level. This is to prevent levels which cannot be completed from being created. The code will always be shown using the standard Sinclair font, to avoid any confusion
Once you have the code for your level you can challenge other players to try to complete it by giving them that code, which they can then enter on the menu screen to play. On social media please use the hashtag #SokoBAArn if you want others (including me!) to be able to find them
