A massive success for Korean publisher Com2uS, it seems that the multi-million downloaded iOS and Android game Slice It! also opened the eyes of its development team.

They decided to set up their own company, forming Orca Corp. Its first release is iPhone puzzler Little Lambs.

Balls of fluff

Don't let the cute name put you off however.

It's a neat puzzler similar to other inertia puzzlers such as Denki Blocks, as you have to move sheep around a pen, organising them into blocks of the same type and colour in as few moves as possible.

Controls are very simple as you swipe either up, down, left or right, with all the sheep that can move, moving in that direction. Of course, some can't move, either being obstructed by boxes, cages, fences or switches.

Other complications include dogs in sheep's skin and noisy hens.

Hence, working out the correct sequence of moves is the name of the game if you want to earn each level's three stars. Alternatively, you can experiment for as long as you like, or use the hint system, which using in-game currency, linked to IAP.

Combined with this thoughtful gameplay are excellent cartoon-style graphics spread across 90 levels, with more promised.

Little Lambs is out now for iPhone and iPod touch, priced 99c, €0.79 or 69p.
