Team 17's sheep herding sort-of puzzler Hay Ewe was supposed to come out last week, but then it didn't. It's out in New Zealand now though, which means it should be hitting the UK tonight.

The game sees you controlling a sheep. You need to nab your lambs, then lead them to the level's exit. There are obviously obstacles. From milk-spouting cows to angry bulls and sneaky foxes.

It's not the sharpest game out there, and the line-drawing controls are sometimes a little on the sloppy side, but there's a decent thread of humour running through proceedings all the same.

You can check out our hands-on video at the top of the page, and we should have a review on the site in the next couple of days.

When the game lands later tonight it'll set you back £2.99 / $4.99 which, in all honesty, feels a little bit steep.
