| Home Sheep Home: Farmageddon Party Edition contains all of the gameplay, features and modes from the much loved previous versions of the game, remastered for current generation consoles by Bristol-based developer Mobile Pie. Multiplayer features enable co-op support for players to work together to solve challenges and help Shaun, Shirley and Timmy find their way back to the green grass of home. Their epic adventure will take them underground, through the streets of London and deep into space. A suite of action-packed, movie-themed party games brings some extra-terrestrial chaos to the farm with a visit to the Farmageddon theme park. Family and friends can compete in a series of madcap fairground games hosted by a new character from the movie, an alien named Lu-La, who has crash-landed near Shaun's home of Mossy Bottom Farm. "We're so excited to be part of expanding the Home Sheep Home title to new platforms with Aardman & Mobile Pie." commented Dean Day CEO of Greenlight Games. "We hope that the community continues to support the title so that we can bring more content down the road for our players." |
