Divide By Sheep is a math-based puzzle game developed by Victor Solodilov, released in 2015 for PC (Windows), Mac, and iOS. The premise centers on a world flooded by the Grim Reaper, leaving animals stranded on scattered islands. The player's objective is to rescue these creatures by moving them onto rafts that hold only a fixed number of passengers — requiring precise arithmetic to ferry exactly the right count across. Overloading a raft pushes animals off, and certain hazards, including lasers, can bisect sheep, effectively halving them and changing the numbers in play. These mechanics introduce increasingly complex division, addition, and subtraction challenges as the game progresses. The combination of a darkly whimsical visual style with genuinely demanding numerical logic places it at an unusual intersection of casual presentation and rigorous puzzle design.
